no, that’s not accurate in fairness
the athlone supporters tho on their FB page have done trojan work researching that portugeese consortium and the strange influx of Latvian and Lithuanian players who came in and discovered some rather sinister links to previous betting rings
Yea, those are the Athlone Town fans I was referring to. The clubs relationship with the local media had gone to shit from early in the season and questions were raised from the start about the situation.
Any links to this research?
Who the fuck is laying money on these games?
You’d imagine a couple of hundred quid would skew one of these markets, hardly liquid enough to run a betting ring off?
Is it happening on Betfair?
But surely any significant trade on betfair would stick out like a sore thumb, with such little liquidity.
Are there other Far Eastern based exchanges?
Go onto “Athlone town fc fans” facebook page. It’s all laid out there. The goalie is on a UEFA monitoring list for 17 suspicious games, along with several other signings. The owners implicated in scams in Portugal. It seems they’ve been flagging it since March.
Best players not playing, the goalie letting in howlers etc.
It reminds me of the scene in Snatch where BrickTop is telling everyone what round the Pikie will go down in. I was wondering who the fuck takes bets on fights they know are fixed?
I’d love to see what kind of money is taken at those odds. I remember hearing before about the money changing hands on frames of snooker through these Asian gambling sites and wondering the same thing, who the fuck is on the other side
