No gambling rule the best bet, says Pardew

WEST HAM manager Alan Pardew insists highly-paid footballers have a responsibility not to gamble “incomprehensible” amounts of money.

Gambling hit the headlines again this week with reports that Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney owes £700,000.

Pardew discourages young players at West Ham from frittering away their wages; anyone who even encourages gambling is immediately fined.
