But he never knew it would amount to this, I know alot of person's that are victims of such circumstances.and again some countries kick against gambling,I'm not sure about the British but if paradventure they frown at it,then it's a more reason why he's arrested for such Acts and with his position as the bodyguard it's enough evidence that he'll face the penalty of his actions.
Even if the British are not against gambling what he did was not good - since he knew that the method he used to get the result was not good then he would have just kept quiet and never placed that bet.
It has been more than a month now and I just tried searching for this news to see what later happened to him but I didnt get anything from my search and even the article the Op linked to his post is no longer available - I do hope he doesn’t face time in jail and probably won’t be allowed to continue his job without ruining his reputation to make it impossible to see another decent job.
