Backdoor Deals

That is exactly what I am talking about. Players can and do invest their earnings and it provides sponsors opportunities to support them.

Yeah but the old saying about a fool and their money is never truer - be careful who you trust or believe if you don't have the knowledge yourself. Like some of the truly stupid AFL players involved in that gambling investment scheme - thinking they would more than likely win - great, go for it; and if they lost they believed they would get a tax deduction - LOL.

Much like most of the "learn to trade derivatives" programs around - if they had a foolproof system that wouldn't be wasting their time pushing the wheelbarrow daily to draw in the latest fool and squeeze as much out of them as possible through the program - they would just make a squillion and retire. Some people deserve to lose, when they are that gullible.

If you were a passionate supporter and insanely rich it would be fun to come up with novel ways to gift the players.
Gina Rineheart could get her PA to whack $10,000 on each of the 24 runners in the Melbourne Cup at the TAB, give the 24 tickets to Nat Fyfe, then he collects a guaranteed win of $60,000-$500,000 and keeps the ticket as proof.
