I doubt he will get banned. Most players get a fine unless it's match fixing or related to betting on lots of different matches.

This. Also he isn’t very good at the moment so he must be the guilties.

This is one issue where the Muslims have an advantage.

He should get a life ban and Liverpool should be docked 10 points.

 

But just watch the FA, Sky, the BBC and the EU all roll over and sweep it all under the carpet in the name of the RS anti-Everton conspiracy.  Again.

 

The Echo will conveniently ignore it too and won't even mention the lightning pace with which Everton's new stadium is coming along.

It's not something I'd be hanging him on really. 

But what if you hate him and see this as another stick to beat him with. 

 

(I realise that beating him with a stick however small would result in a long term injury)

in guessing that the bookmakers fraud investigations team will have noticed a flurry of big bets from a few accounts with similar addresses and tipped them off? 

 

Bookmakers bring this sort of stuff on themselves by taking bets on things that some people have inside information on.  If Sturridge had failed the West Brom medical or they pulled out at the last minute they'd have happily kept all the money and this charge  would never have come to light.

Exactly even with a tip off he still has to have a medical.  I'd have not bet on that

On another note... this is really heartwarming.

He's getting info straight from the horse's mouth.

I can't see how this doesn't happen to some extent with every transfer. There's no way that players don't tell friends and family that they are moving.

No chance, there is no way on earth he could cope with any instances of hammer rash without being downed for 6 months.

I was away on a stag do the other year and got chatting to some girl who told me to put a few quid on Michael Carrick joining the mancs. There'd been no rumours that he was going there at all and when I asked her how she knew, it turned out she was his sister. 

 

I didn't put the bet on.

I can only hope that the FA will be as robust with the FFP allegations facing City as they seem to be here.

Yes, you wonder whether Bookies are above being involved in slipping out 'information' and cashing in as gullible people place what they perecive to be clever bets.

 

In that vein I did read that Trump weighed in quite heavily on the Beckhams getting divorced, obvioulsy got burned and has had it in for 'fake news' ever since.

Quite. It's more concerning that they single out Sturridge rather than anyone else. If the FA expect a player, or his agent, to arrange a transfer with absolutely no info passed on to anyone - family, friends, local hotels, anyone at all - they're living in a dream world. And if they expect that info not to reach other people via social media, they're living in a dream world circa 1970.

I'll give you 4/1 on that he didn't.

I’d take that bet but I’m scared of getting done for releasing inside her knowledge

Hammer Rash!!!! You've just made that up.

Hammer rash occurs when a hammer comes into contact with your skin, usually after it has been travelling at a high speed.

 

It is usually accompanied by a sudden case of Tourette syndrome.

This makes no fucking sense what so ever. The bet wasn't on him moving to West Brom. Some dick put a 5 figure sum on him going to Inter after a Italian paper said a deal had been agreed. Why the fuck would Sturridge pass on dodgy info. Sounds like some dick has either told the FA a load of shite in spite as he lost loads of money. Or Sturridge has told someone he might be going to Inter, they've let slip and some dicks jumped on it and tried to make a killing. Then likely got the arse cause he lists loads and told authorities Sturridge told him

A blue collar worker based in the Midlands placed a five-figure bet on Daniel Sturridge's club movements during the period in which the Liverpool striker is being investigated for allegedly passing on gambling information, Telegraph Sport can disclose.

The man, from a modest background, wagered the huge bet on the England player joining Inter Milan on loan during last January's transfer window. Just days later, however, Sturridge instead joined West Brom for the remainder of the season.

 

Given the spectacular failure of the bet, there is no suggestion that Sturridge was involved, but the transaction startled bosses at a leading bookmaker who suspected the gambler might have obtained what he believed was insider information.

The Football Association has refused to confirm whether it is considering the bet in relation to its investigation into Sturridge for alleged gambling breaches.

It had previously been understood Sturridge's loan move to West Brom on January 29 was the central thread to the FA misconduct charge for breaching betting rules. The FA specifically mentioned "the period of January 2018" in its statement, and one of the charges against Sturridge refers to "passing on information which can be used for betting purposes".

In the days before his Baggies switch, Corriere dello Sport reported that Inter had agreed a deal to take Sturridge to Serie A, initially on loan but with an option to buy in the summer. The report surfaced about a week after the Midlands bet was tabled.

Hammer rash occurs after knocking 10 out over the course of a day.
