Did I hear right on the radio this morning that Wayne Bridge and Scott Parker have blown over £2 million in under a year on horse racing? Will footballers ever learn to keep their cash in the bank!
ChapmansThe Saviour said:It's their money.
finbar said:The thing is it says they "STAKED" 2 million between them. They havent lost 2 Million.
So over a year that is roughly £40,000 staked per week between them.
Assuming they are getting a reasonable return of say 90% then they are losing 'only' 4k per week between 4 of them, i.e 1k per week each.
In the case of Wayne 35k/pw Bridge it means he's losing about 3% of his wages gambling. This is the equivant of a bloke on £25k a year losing £15 a week.
What a total and utter non story it is. Even if the returns were well lower than ninety percent, say 50% it would still leave wayne bridge 30k p/w to spend on white suits and R&B
