Italian Serie A 2023/2024

You have to be a real prime dumb fuck to get into betting on your profession when you're earning millions per year.

Like Michael Jordan? It's an addiction for a reason.

I 100% know the culture. Most of the older players know better but most of these kids have grown up around all these people casually playing a "schedina" every weekend-- it's so heavily ingrained in the popular culture. They probably got into it really early on but were too stupid to realize just how big of a deal it is, especially as professionals. Hopefully it's not too many of ours if at all.

Tonali when Milan lost to Sassuolo 2-5, but he bet over 5 goals.

 

[Darth_Ausilio]

Fear not friends. Bastoni, Asslani, Fratessi, Barella are all intelligent lads. We do not sign mouth-breathers like Fagioli.

 

[Stefan]

Latest one I read is about 50 players, then presidents are also involved, for Tonali and Zaniolo, Buffon is thrown in as well as leader

I wonder if the rules are same like in EPL where it's fine for owners to bet but not players.

Im getting a little annoyed with the 2nd star talk by Marotta, papers, our players etc. Its gonna create an expectations and pressure bubble eventually that will burst painfully into our face. Look at Milan fo example. They got splattered 5-1 , but after that match have silently become the leaders, with a strong defense. You don`t see their players or management talking about the scudetto. They know you can get bitchslapped in the most important game of the year and still win the title.

All these renewals man, I`d only give a new one for DiMarco as he really deserves it. The rest can wait. Maybe Lautaro too. It looks like its way too early, but this could get alot more expensive if he continues his scoring to 30 goals a season and he is strongly on that course.

Stop the star talk as of now. Get qualified in the next 2 UCL matches and win the big upcoming Serie A games that really matter , because our fixtures have been way more easier than what Milan had and we still trail them.

Wouldn't call Jordan an intellectual

Was it ever proven that Jordan bet on NBA games?

 

[wera]

Well not that, but he still got a ban for gambling.

Well not that, but he still got a ban for gambling.

When?

 

[wera]

Well, his first retirement was rumoured to be about gambling

 

[bubba zanetti]

So Fagioli ratted others to get low punishment. This is gettin better and better.

 

[brehme1989]

Well, his first retirement was rumoured to be about gambling

That's quite ridiculous.

The NBA decided to ban him silently, the biggest superstar of the time, assuming that everyone in the know would keep silent forever, harming the league's exposure at the time it was reaching new levels due to the "Like Mike" phenomenon right after the Dream Team left its mark?

Why don't we trust that MJ could just do whatever he wanted and felt bad/guilt for his father's passing?

 

[Neroazzurr4]

Anything new about the betting scandal?

 

[Jnr]

Papers write that Zaniolo, Toenails and MR. "I rat everyone out" Fagioli are out of Euros24.

Maybe the rest of Italy will follow

 

[Neroazzurr4]

What about Barella & Frattesi & Bastoni?

 

[.h.]

nothing yet. Hard to know if the investigation is moving slowly, focusing on the highest priority people first, or everyone else is just playing blackjack and poker on the team bus (etc).

A case of wait and see, but I'd assume they're focusing on the biggest problems first which would be consistent with the news in Italy today about Tonali and Zaniolo

 

[Jnr]

Prosecutors want a big lengthy ban for Sandro Toenails, because Fagioli is insisting that it was him who helped him install the betting app.

OMG this is getting better by the day. I mean PIF spent 70M€ on Toenails

 

[varmin]

Does Fagioli has some evidence? Because, it looks to me that he wants to put the blame on his betting buddy.
