PSG v Red Star Belgrade: 'Match-fixing' inquiry into 6-1 Champions League win - PSG v Red Star Belgrade: 'Match-fixing' inquiry into 6-1 Champions League win

Might be nothing in it, but who would bet 5m euros on their own team losing by 5 goals? An official of the club in question too!

Just watched the goals and can't see anything particularly wrong with any of the goals past two very stupid, needless freekicks given away in very dangerous areas. PSG scored from both.

Still seems such a large amount and so specific. Not 'lose by 5 goals or more', but to lose by exactly 5 goals.

5m euro bet on his own team losing by exactly 5 goals.

How he thought he could bet €5m and not raise any suspicions is beyond me, what an idiot

Always going to flagged up.

Surely you wouldn't put 5 million on anything unless there was a real chance of your bet coming good.

If the bet was more than 4 goals, or 5 goals or more, nothing would send alarm bells off. This bet though was to specifically lose by exactly 5 goals.

Even if you were a billionaire why would you put 5m on a game like this? Definitely seems dodgy.

You wouldn't, would you.

Best guess is a bet of maybe 10-20 grand tops.

Even dodgier is a bookies taking it!
