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 ?
For me personally, betting is about personal choice and has nothing to do with one's personal place of work. Because after all, when someone bets then of course they will hope for luck. After all, the person or employee may also only work there even though they are not basically fans of the team. Therefore, it is normal for him to bet on different teams or bet on opposing teams. Unless someone is a member of that team's fans, then it might be very inappropriate for someone to place a bet on the opposing team instead of their favorite team. But for me personally, the case here is about work and not being a fan member, so the case is different, and for me it is very inappropriate to treat it in that way, but hopefully the person gets a new, better job.
