An Easy Way For Athletes To Make Money In Europe

Apparently, the English Premier League doesn't get nearly as worked up about players gambling on their own sports as we prudish Americans do.

A player for the Bolton Wanderers has been openly bragging about how much money he made betting on the team's new coach.

One person that wasn't really a popular choice with fans to [be the new coach] was Gary Megson. Megson was ultimately given 3-1 odds to become Bolton's new coach but wasn't even close to being the favorite. Despite those odds, and fan hatred, [goalie Jussi] Jaaskelainen supposedly put down £100 a day for 10 days on Megson to become his new head coach. Jaaskelainen also revealed he and his teammates had discussed the managerial speculation that had surrounded the club since [the former coach]'s departure.

Apparently, this isn't against EPL rules, but we can't imagine Derek Jeter putting down a bunch of money on Don Mattingly to be the new Yankees manager would fly here.
