Scandal Jaidyn Stephenson - Betting on Pies games

[Taylor]

Whats more relaxing than a few beers and a bet, I lost two houses and two wives doing both.
Obviously peed off about the houses.
Another case of over reaction to a minor action, the penalties don't fit the crime imo.

The penalty isn't for placing a bet. It's for a influential person in results having a vested, and perhaps manipulating, interest in the result other than winning.

The integrity of the game is bigger than a $50 bet. That's what they will argue they are protecting. It is also protecting the betting agencies from inside information taking them for a ride similar to insider trading.

Is it Collingwood who have the "Love the game not the odds" slogan flashing up pre game ? How ironic.

Yeah because the actions of one mean that Collingwood endorses such behaviour?

Has to be a multi that would have some return in it, a win bet would deliver stuff all if betting on the fave.

Typical Collingwood

Gil been sitting on this one for a while...timing is right to release it to distract from the real issues around crowds/security.

LOL

Gil has a rolodex of stories he can pull at any time

Lucky three is no gambling issues or undue influence in the AFL that would add weight to this issue.....

Big Brother is watching over us.

I noticed him during the Queens Bday game how he desperately wanted the 1st Goal. Had 2 shots he missed then stole 1 from a Collingwood player when the umpire gave the advantage after Viney stopped

It probably would have been a Collingwood goal despite the advantage. But agree. Everyone had stopped and he was allowed to run away with it. I feel umpires do that a bit in front of goal.

At least it was not a drug issue

The Beams influence continues.

Whilst I’m not surprised a player has been caught betting, I’m still astounded that it happens.

Why? I reckon it happens more than we know.

Degenerate gamblers with lots of time on their hands.

For now

Shaw missed 8 games for a $10 bet. Could be set for a looong time out.

I bet that this won't end well for Stephenson

That's not ironic at all? Like... not even slightly?

At a minimum, I'm saying six to eight weeks, but if it was on something that he could influence, then he's played his last game for the season.

Which would be any game he is playing in or involved with anyway, regardless of what the bet was for/against. Doesn't matter if the bet was for Collingwood to win, just because he "should" be trying to do that every week....

 

[NonPhixion]

why do our players get caught up in scandals like these...
Its obviously a very stupid thing to do, but I refuse to believe hes the only player in the league that has done this at some point this year... as another poster mentioned its probably some ridiculous multi, spread across various games. Doesn't make it anymore acceptable but why would he risk his season for a small payout.

 

[Art Corvelay]

Will bikies turn up at training to collect the $50?

Heath Shaw has entered the chat.

Why does it only ever seem to be Collingwood that is involved in such corruption?

I’m guessing it was that multi of Mick Molloys that got up a few weeks ago

We’re a big club that sells papers, clearly picked on for these sort of stories.
