If it was bet fair then it's understandable clubs rejected it. Especially Wigan as they have a betting partner that probably pays more than that which would become a conflict of interests. Plus a betting firm is a bad idea for sports sponsorship as you can't have them on kids replica shirts and the big one:

We have a French side in the competition! Gambling advertisement is illegal there remember when we had Mecca?
