Pressley for putting Clarke up front?

 

[pusbccfc]

Insane isn't it!

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

This would be the fucking lowest point so far.

 

[Sub]

just shows how shit football has become no longer a working mans game!!! i hate everthing about the game it has been ruined completely

 

[Marty]

If it has been found to have been 'fixed' what happens? match replayed?

 

[sw88]

Why would anyone overseas want to bet on CCFC V Crawley?

And more to the point, did the 2-2 draw bring their bets home?

@TheSimonGilbert: FYI this arrest could be to do with trying to beat time delays on betting websites rather than match fixing - http://t.co/vR3YlB5ysa

I have never once done this or made money from it.

 

[Nick]

What is beating a time delay?

 

[Otis]

I reckon City must have had thousands of matches fixed over the years cos we're always throwing leads away very late in the game.

 

[Marty]

I suppose, someone sits at the game, says goal Cov for example. someone sitting at the other end of the phone with a betting site on, places bets before it's suspended.

Correct me if wrong, but I believe it is like if someone scores betting before the odds change so get good odds. Or other types of bets corners etc

Ah so they can put a bet on before it filters through, would have to be mega quick.

Bit like The Sting?

 

[ccfclinney]

Yes they close it so fast if goal, must do when the balls trickling in, be on the phone for 90 minutes.

Not really. We get KC's commentary at least one minute before the audio.

 

[letsallsingtogether]

Was it to someone in the Cayman islands..

 

[ccfclinney]

When overseas though I bet the markets are a bit slower in closing the markets so bit easier

 

[Marty]

Not really, If you're betting on goals, I suppose you sit there, with two slips open, one for home the other for away, whatever comes in you just place it. Most sites have a delay for 'in play' betting but I reckon you could easily get around it by having someone there feeding info back.

Unless it affects the result then it shouldn't be a police issue, someone has found a fall in a service and is exploiting that, it's down to the betting site to plug that hole.

 

[Nick]

Is it actually illegal? Like you say, the betting site should be sorting the issue.

 

[Noggin]

doesn't sound like it should be illegal to me.

 

[bigfatronssba]

Please god let the arrested male be Fisher.

 

[Marty]

I'd say no, you aren't affecting play, you haven't bribed anyone, you're just exploiting a flaw in a service.

 

[Tonylinc]

Please god let the arrested male be Fisher.

LOL would love to think so.

 

[malkitccfc]

at 2-0 up i turned and said to the guy next to me, i might check the odds on a 2-2 draw. But thats not match fixing, thats just knowing we cant defend!

 

[bigfatronssba]

Surely if there is a time delay on a website that's just the bookies luck out?

Don't really see how this is a crime.

 

[skybluelee]

I tried to put money on a draw at 1-0 and it said the market was suspended.

 

[sw88]

What is beating a time delay?

Sending electronic messages overseas at the time of an event - corner, throw in etc - I suspect.

And he was in the Coventry end too! Giving SISU money, the swine

 

[sw88]

Please god let the arrested male be Fisher.

Unless he turned Chinese it wasn't

 

[Nick]

Is it illegal to keep people abroad up to date with the scores? Does that mean the fella who does the Live Text should be arrested?

Not sure of the legalities of it. Imagine if the 'mole' relayed a goal, thousands (or more) were placed on it, and it got disallowed!

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh: Like it

Tried to put a bet on the last 10 mins and all betting was suspended for the rest of the game by bet365. Something dodgy here.
