Lucas Paquetá

This lads career could be over 🤦‍♂️

He looks banged to right and his uncle in Brazil has been arrested as well.

I just can’t see it. A £7 bet on a booking even in Brazil isnt life changing. Let’s hope Thomason doesn’t have an uncle Bruno

22 yellow cards in 84 games 

But 4 are suspicious 

£7-£400 bets by his family and friends when he's earning £150k a week

I'd be struggling to say confidently he's probably doing it for financial gain

[TroySwoosh]

I always put him in card bets when he starts, I'm pretty sure lots of other people do too

Thomason's family will be worried...

The paragraph about him playing when he'd asked not to, doesn't seem to suggest a continued problem. 

Others may do. 

All a bit strange given the amounts involved.

Puts Zico's covid booze bill into a greater light!

I'd be shocked if this kind of thing wasn't rife all over the world.

I get the sporting integrity side, but between some fella lumping £7 on from a Brazilian island and the betting companies themselves... I know which is the bigger evil.

The Joey Barton ones were the best 

All I get from his was how shit at gambling he was, they were all losing bets 😭

Let’s say he’s 4/1 for a card I feel that’s fairly generous. That’s £35 surely if all conscious then it’s easier to send £40 to said uncle
