I cannot say for certain he has equally as you cannot say he hasn't. Hence, I was just asking the question.

I concur that gambling is a fun event for many people from any walk of life. Nonetheless, for some, gambling often goes from a fun, harmless diversion to an unhealthy obsession with serious consequences. Firstly, start by dispelling the myth that you have to gamble regularly to be a problem gambler. Gambling is a problem if it causes a problem and to brush this aside in exchange for 'being one of the lads' is missing the point, particularly when it is common knowledge that any football-related gambling activity is strictly prohibited for footballers in the top eight tiers.

However, as alway, I am prepared to bow to your knowledge or lack of on this matter.
