Some people posted that such people like the bodyguard should not be allowed to bet on the date of Election but what if he told someone to help him out and the money will be shared? Or is something like this can not be manipulated? If you know what would be the result of something, you can do one or two or more manipulation with that thing.
Well I know that if the bodyguard is not part of those that could bet on the date, he could have disclosed it to one or two other people to bet on it where he would have a share from the winning but it is no longer a secret when you disclose something to a second person because the chances of it getting to a third and fourth person is high and it keeps going on that way and that is how those who bet on even fixed matches get to do that. But the point is if he gives the information to someone outside, it could also become a public secret. Therefore, if he was limited from such betting, he may find it difficult to confide in someone else on it and so the chances of it licking or being exposed outside might not be there because he would already see it as a secret he needs to keep which is why he was not allowed to bet on it abinitio.
I see it is not the man's fault and he alone should not go down because the betting site or casinos should have disqualified those who set the date. It is not just about the bet on a result that someone else set, the man could have also been part of the date fixing as a board room staff, his boss could have also asked him to suggest a convenient date for their schedule.
