I havent heard how much the bets were...?

Did he win?

Did he lose?

Can he claim anything from losing bets from the AFL now?

Can he claim "lost income"?

The man has lost his income in 2012.

Does his family starve?

Can he claim anything from losing bets from the AFL now?

Wallis has been suspended for 14 games. In that time he cant have any contact with any of the players.
Have been told the club is sticking by him and will give him a desk job at the club so he can still earn a living.
The club will not be sacking him.
Didnt have time to find out more but im presuming this week would be the start of his ban. Not sure if he can interact or help coach in off season as he was given a 14 match ban not a 14 week ban

these blokes are stupid, you get your girlfriend, possibly your parents, your mates, basically someone you can trust not to open their mouth & get them to put your bets on.......ffs jockeys are not allowed to bet & believe me some if not all do & i do know because i've put bets on for a few jockeys over the years (most of them have back their own mounts or horses from the stables they rode for)


dean wallis send me a pm & i'll put your bets on & quietly

Caro Wilson on 5AA said that Wallis may have an ongoing gambling problem and have some large financial debts so, if true, good on the Bombers for sticking with him through the 14 weeks.

Apparently he lied to the AFL investigation at the start before coming clean.
