If we are an employee at the club especially if there is a rule then I will not do that work is more important than betting which is only occasional or maybe the club addresses this with discipline on employees for betting on other teams.

If I were not an employee of the club then I would freely bet on any match, sometimes I like to bet against the favorite team because what I am looking for is profit and for me there is no favorite club.

I don't know the rules clearly as to why this is happening do you have any articles we can read that would like to see this news appear.

If it means winning, why not? Sports betting should have one goal which is to win, and sometimes the best way to win is to beat against what you like as most of the time you can be wrong. Nothing personal, I mean if you are betting and like to succeed, it should be your mind that will be followed not your emotion. Do you know the reason why sportsbook keeps raking money from most of the bettors, that's because most of us bet with our favorite team, and that's where the oddsmaker will come and make a line that is overvalued on the favorite team.

Everyone should realize that it was not the club that suspended him but a regulatory body. It is against the rules for someone in a significant position in a football club to gamble as you can influence the outcome of the matches directly or indirectly. He for example could sabotage Swansea causing them to lose when he bet on them to, this creates a direct conflict of interest.

The club allegedly supported him during the trial and continue to do so, according to the reports[1]

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 ?
why wouldn't I make a bet against the club I'm supporting if I know that they are playing against a team that is stronger than them? We have to know that even if we make the bet or not it doesn't even play any role in determining if the match will go inline with your bet or against it. And I doubt that there is a sort of agreement that's signed between the organisation that employed you  and yourself regarding that they've bought you totally and that you shouldn't make a personal decision on your own. Maybe it could be that you could be made to sign an agreement that if you're ever placing a bet against your club, and that's for the case where you're a staff in a club that it must not go public.

During the last female workd cup, I've seen lots of my country people placing a bet against a country in a match that we played against a team that's stronger than us and that's just normal. In that context, you might talk about not being patriotic enough but the reality is that it's not just a patriotism stuff but you're gambling based on your analysis and not just mere sentiment or emotions.

I don't think that anybody will want to bet to loose, and when you think that your favorite team don't stand a chance in a game with a team that you think is better, then you go ahead and bet against your team. This doesn't mean that you don't love your team or you're not going to continue to support them but when it comes to placing your money, you don't let your emotions to cloud your judgement.

If you're an employee of a club, I don't think that will compel you to support every match that they play, except you're in the executive that buys players. Although it wouldn't be proper to anounce this to people, you can just discreetly place your bets without raising any dust, when you're betting against a team that you work for. But if there's a rule that employees should not bet against the club, then employees should respect the terms and conditions of the club.

I am a gambler does not mean that if I see a sure bet against my club to lose, that I will not take advantage of that bet, because it is fun to see that you win your bet. If it was in the rules of the club that an employee working for a club should not place a bet against the club, then that employee went wrong and deserves to be fired.

However, if it was not in their rules, I don't see it as any problem because he is only gambling and a gambler has the right to bet on whichever club he thinks is cool to put his money on. I always bet against my club if they are the underdog.

I'm willing to place a bet against my team if it means I get to win some money, but it becomes another story when i'm a part of a football club and i'll be betting against one of their matches. I'd rather not risk losing my job over a one-time bet since there's a conflict of interest. In sports betting, you sometimes have to set aside your emotions and learn to take the opposing side except if you're working for a club or team.

Also, here's a link to the betting incident in case others are curious about the details.

The man is working in a club and betting against the gamble. I am not working as an employee in any club and this makes it different. If there is no rules that I can or can not bet against the club that I am employed, why not bet against them if you analyzed and think that the club will lose. I can do it. But provided if not against the rules. As the man is sacked, I think it is against the club rules for a worker to bet against them.
