Scholes betting charge

Not a good time for the ginger pig.

Paul Scholes: Ex-Man Utd midfielder fined £8,000 for breaking betting rules - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48689396

Betting prior to going to Oldham would have been funny if he shafted his boyhood love.

8k is a pittance of a fine ... He won't even notice that leaving his account....

"Overall, the bets placed by Scholes totalled £26,159 and he made a profit of £5,831"

Even shite at gambling.

Never ever want to stick up for that horrible runt but roughly 20% profit can’t be shite in anybodies book.

Apart from the bit where it says ‘made a profit’
He’s been gambling since he was 17. There used to be a bookies next to the pub we drank in and he’d be disappearing every 5 minutes to put a bet on. The only difference these days is the stake size.

Platini made 20,0000% profit and never laid a penny out allegedly

Well if that's considered a good return in betting circles, I definitely made the right decision not to get into gambling.

Hope the **** goes bust.

Would love to see this prick go bankrupt.

I’m sure you do, as would many others. He’s a mate of mine so on this occasion I’ll have to respectfully disagree with you.
Now, had it been any other current, past or future utd player who I didn’t consider a mate I’d be inclined to agree with all you said.

I don’t bet personally but surely any profit can’t be considered as anything other than good? I agree with you In hoping he goes bankrupt though just so long as that doesn’t result in him being on tv more to pay for it.
