I’ve been thinking back to the days when, as a consultant or as an activist, I was privy to things before they were announced. It never occurred to me to run off down the bookies or do whatever else might have enriched me with insider knowledge. And, for the people calling such a thing “a flutter”, it’s not a flutter. It’s cheating and planning to defraud the bookies. It’s grubby and even if you didn’t know it was illegal you’d know instinctively it was immoral.
