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.
 
as long as it not for or against the team their currently playing for

can’t see the problem he just might like a bet like most people do

plus surely they have marras they could ask tomput the bet on for them
They can still influence games they’re not actively participating in, puts them at risk of blackmail by gangs, passing on inside information which could affect things like transfer fees etc… don’t think it’s as simple as affecting a game for their team.
 
Despite the fact Maguire was playing for us when he was starting for England at the last World Cup.
Was he is patchy (that is being kind) when at Leicester. There are too many selected, not on form, but on past performances and/or where they play.
He’s not at Man Utd because he’s not good enough to be there. Yet
Given the performances of Rashford over last 6-12 months I would suggest he is good enough.

Scenario for you. Say jordan henderson fancies a bet. Cant bet on liverpool games obviously. But he sticks a weeks wages on their being 3 bookings in the coventry game. 90th minute theres only been 2 so a lad he grew up with clatters someone and gets booked. He wins his bet. Slips his mate 10k. Pays his fine.
 
He doesn’t play for one of the big clubs. Simple as that really.
If Maguire was still at Leicester he too would be in the unselected group.
Utter nonsense. Southgate has picked more players from unfashionable clubs than any other England manager in my lifetime.

Footballers aren’t allowed to bet on any football matches, whether they’re involved or not.

Compared to Will Grigg he was the ultimate professional. Stewart Donald the super scout or as it's known following the Eastleigh model.

So what is your explanation for not giving him an opportunity then?
Aside from Kane we are woefully short of quality. He was selected and didn’t get even a ‘guest appearance’.
Maddison another who has been excellent and, imho, woefully under used.
