It is probably best not to speculate who, but it just goes to show how easy it is to get in trouble.
You would like to think the clubs have some sort of responsibility to ensure their employees are given some sort of guidance, or maybe even a clause in their contract which precludes them from any kind of gambling activities unless directly sanctioned by the club.
I know players are adults, but when they are earning this kind of money from such an early age it is easy to understand how so many go off the rails.
