Pardon me if this post or something similar have been created before now. Well this post was inspired by a news from Football Tweet on X concerning a Swansea City FC employee who got sacked for betting on the club he works in to lose for about 130 times. It's so unfortunate he lost his jobs, Well some people were in his support and claimed it's not his fault for the club to keep losing and the man was only trying to make extra cash, while there were others who claimed it was betrayal and he should've supported the club as a true fan. Left for me, I feel he's not a fan of the club and just an employee and I'll do same if I were not a fan of the club I work for moreover the club kept losing and he seized the opportunity to make extra cash from their misfortune. Well I never betted against the club i support I'll rather bet on other matches. However this brings us back to the question, would you bet against the club you support ?
I don't think what the man did was wrong, he was trying to do right thing even if he works for the club. When playing a bet one don't need to be sentimental , it is important for one to be real because if one choose to be sentimental and not be in support of the team that has the the strength to win it means money will be lose in gambling for nothing. The reason why we play games is to win but when we choose not to support a team that is capable to win it means we have no value for our money.
The man did the right thing by going for the team that can make him to win the bet, if at all we want to support favourite team that is not fit to win then it should not be in gambling.
