Don't understand well paid footballers gambling like. Makes you think as a fan though such as Maguire being done for it, makes sense why he was so inconsistent.
The amount of money you're earning probably only means the stakes get higher- the 'buzz' likely the same. Also there doesn't have to be any betting on games he's involved in to go against the FA rules.
Maguire was inconsistent as he's a half talented, half arsed, unprofessional arsehole. Having watched him over three seasons I doubt he was good enough to turn it on and off as required - or he was capable enough to influence a team on any given day to one particular result (until he played against a piss weak SAFC team for Lincoln).
He'd have earned a damn site more turning it football wise than he could have betting on games he was involved in.
