Personally though, although it is clearly wrong I don't think it's that big a deal. I mean he's proposing to drop a few frames to allow people to rig the betting, and gambling is hardly an honourable pursuit.
He doesn't need the money clearly, so I imagine maybe it's an adreneline thing, the kind of reason why people gamble in the first place. He takes a huge risk in return for the potential of massive reward, isn't that the essence of what gambling is all about?
All of the 'good honest punters' who need to be protected from his cheating would do exactly the same thing in his shoes and that's the great irony for me.
