|

<br>16 September 2010<br>
|

<br>By Bill Wilson<br>

<br>Business reporter, BBC News<br>
|
||||
<br>[sports betting](https://mxlinkin.mimeld.com/read-blog/672_online-betting-firms-gamble-on-soccer-mad-nigeria.html) on sport is huge service.<br>
|
||||
<br>Sport England estimates the worth of costs on sport-related gaming in England grew from ₤ 1.7 bn in 1985 to ₤ 2.8 bn in 2008.<br>
|
||||
<br>Which figure is most likely to have grown even more, with an estimated ₤ 1bn bet on the World Cup alone in the UK this summertime.<br>
|
||||
<br>Meanwhile, German research firm Sport & Markt approximates the total international [sports betting](http://woorichat.com/read-blog/10307_things-you-need-to-understand-about-rafting-adventures.html) market will be worth 263bn euros (₤ 220bn) by 2012, with much of that driven by internet and [sports betting](https://genzkenya.co.ke/read-blog/110_begin-winning-with-pcg-college-football-picks.html).<br>
|
||||
<br>But when the stability of events are hit the gambling market suffers, and revenues are put under danger if customers can not wager with confidence.<br>
|
||||
<br>And there can have been few higher-profile sport [sports betting](https://santosfcfansclub.com/read-blog/7361_enhance-your-business-opportunities-with-efficient-sports-apps.html) stories than those affecting cricket and snooker this year.<br>
|
||||
<br>High-profile<br>
|
||||
<br>As Sport & Markt's Gareth Moore observes: "Everyone talks about the [sports betting](https://miderde.de/index.php?title=Benutzer:SavannahODonovan) gambling market now.<br>
|
||||
<br>"Not only is it a substantial market in world organization, it is one that is now on the front pages of papers."<br>
|
||||
<br>Four Pakistan cricketers have actually been questioned by authorities over spot-fixing claims relating to a test versus England at Lord's last month.<br>
|
||||
<br>Three of these gamers have stated they will also challenge the corruption charges installed versus the trio by the sport governing body the International Cricket Council.<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
|
||||
<br>Meanwhile, three-times snooker world champion John Higgins was cleared of match-fixing claims, but was banned recently for six months for stopping working to report the illegal method to him to toss frames.<br>
|
||||
<br>There are likewise two other continuing investigations - unrelated to Mr Higgins - into snooker.<br>
|
||||
<br>'Honest'<br>
|
||||
<br>David O'Reilly is legal counsel for Betfair, one of the UK's greatest online sporting exchanges.<br>
|
||||
<br>"If the sport is perceived as honest, straight and fair that is excellent for [sports betting](https://ask.onekeeitsolutions.com/index.php?qa=86524&qa_1=begin-winning-with-pcg-college-football-picks) firms since people will spend money wagering with self-confidence," he states.<br>
|
||||
<br>"If you take the Pakistan claims, although unrelated to the UK managed [sports betting](https://ai.tienda/read-blog/7264_uk-betting-firms-gamble-on-us-after-sports-wager-ruling.html) market ... it is not really a positive story for [sports betting](https://bayer04leverkusenfansclub.com/read-blog/10391_sport-betting-industry-aims-to-protect-itself.html) in the UK.<br>
|
||||
<br>"That is due to the fact that the perception is that 'cricket is now something we may have to beware about'."<br>
|
||||
<br>'Education'<br>
|
||||
<br>So what can be done to prevent future scandals?<br>
|
||||
<br>According to experts at a World [sports betting](https://ai.tienda/read-blog/7248_for-sports-gambling-to-be-legalised.html) Law Report conference into [sports betting](https://social.engagepure.com/read-blog/795_how-to-attract-users-to-my-fantasy-sports-platform.html), the focus needs to be on sportsmen and sportswomen.<br>
|
||||
<br>As Simon Taylor of the Professional Players' Federation mentions: "The only people who can fix a match are the competitors or the referee."<br>
|
||||
<br>His organisation represents males and females in 15 [sports betting](https://parentingliteracy.com/wiki/index.php/User:ZakDavenport51) in the UK, being an umbrella organisation for all player organisations, such as the Professional Footballers' Association.<br>
|
||||
<br>He believes that it is inadequate to simply have deterrents, sanctions and disciplinary procedures, however that the method to tackle possible concerns around gamers is likewise through education.<br>
|
||||
<br>Mr Taylor states rules need to be described plainly to gamers with clear examples, and by individuals they respect.<br>
|
||||
<br>"Through educating gamers about [sports betting](https://edenhazardclub.com/read-blog/10254_how-to-play-bet9ja-online.html) wagering you enhance stability and that is in everybody's interest," he adds.<br>
|
||||
<br>"If gamers are harder to corrupt then sport will be more difficult to corrupt."<br>
|
||||
<br>'Brand damage'<br>
|
||||
<br>Matt Johnson, head of regulatory legal guidance at the Football Association, concurs.<br>
|
||||
<br>"Prevention is much better than treatment, and we also make a point of informing gamers 'you are going to be caught'."<br>
|
||||
<br>"It is necessary that sport is straight, and is seen to be straight," he includes.<br>
|
||||
<br>"If it loses that then people don't wish to bet, that is not in gaming companies' interests, and it is not in our interests."<br>
|
||||
<br>He said that once a good track record was lost, the damage to a sport was "incalculable".<br>
|
||||
<br>FA rules imply gamers are not allowed to bet on a competitors in which they are included.<br>
|
||||
<br>Mr Johnson says gamers need to be seen not to be cashing in on any inside understanding, which he states could trigger "brand name damage" to football and its [competitors](https://naijamatta.com/read-blog/34759_how-to-play-bet9ja-online.html).<br>
|
||||
<br>So, even a 2nd Division player knocked out of the FA Cup in the autumn can not bank on a Manchester United v Chelsea cup final the following spring.<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
|
||||
<br>"We need to get over to players the reputational danger to the game," he states. "Once confidence has actually been harmed it is difficult to get it back - mud sticks."<br>
|
||||
<br>'Overwhelmingly legal'<br>
|
||||
<br>If this represents the "carrot" technique, then possibly Nick Tofiluk, director of policy at the Gambling Commission, represents the "stick".<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
|
||||
<br>The Gambling Commission was set up under the Gambling Act 2005 to manage business gaming in Great Britain.<br>
|
||||
<br>An ex-chief constable of West Midlands police, Mr Tofiluk has responsibility for policing all wagering in the UK apart from spread wagering, which is the remit of the FSA.<br>
|
||||
<br>"The frustrating majority of [sports betting](https://werderbremenfansclub.com/read-blog/14073_best-u-s-sports-betting-sites-amp-sportsbooks-for-2024.html) wagering occurring through UK operators is legal and fair," he states.<br>
|
||||
<br>"But for some there is the temptation to ... corruptly hinder the result of a sporting occasion.<br>
|
||||
<br>"Such unfaithful has the possible to the stability of a sport, and it likewise damages the industrial interests of [sports betting](https://coptr.digipres.org/index.php/User:DeborahKreider0) bodies and [sports betting](https://anthonymartialclub.com/read-blog/8815_the-ins-and-outs-of-betting-on-the-nfl-draft.html)."<br>
|
||||
<br>The commission has established an in-house [Sports Betting](https://myquora.myslns.com/index.php?qa=39737&qa_1=things-you-need-to-learn-about-rafting-adventures) Intelligence Unit to get and disseminate info to sporting authorities, wagering companies and policing authorities.<br>
|
||||
<br>"Since 2007 we have actually experienced a significant insight into world of corrupt [sports betting](https://linkpiz.com/vn/13895/betting-firms-gamble-united-states-after-sports-wager-ruling) wagering," he says.<br>
|
||||
<br>"We will notify [sports betting](https://cheere.org/read-blog/36278_online-betting-firms-gamble-on-soccer-mad-nigeria.html) of our concerns, to help avoid or reduce [unlawful] activity"<br>
|
||||
<br>In May 2010, the commission likewise introduced a personal telephone hotline for those with details or suspicions.<br>
|
||||
<br>'Vulnerabilities'<br>
|
||||
<br>But in a two-and-a-half year duration there has actually been just one prosecution, a 24-year-old male who was warned for cheating in relation to greyhound racing.<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
|
||||
<br>However, Mr Tofiluk says there are still 8 continuous investigations, and that much beneficial information has actually also been passed to [sports betting](https://werderbremenfansclub.com/read-blog/14059_warner-bros-discovery-sets-stage-for-potential-cable-deal-by.html) authorities.<br>
|
||||
<br>He stated that where an investigation by a sport governing body was quicker, and more cost effective, then the commission would think about ceasing a criminal examination "in favour of letting [sports betting](http://it-viking.ch/index.php/User:EugeniaTimperley) governing bodies take the lead".<br>
|
||||
<br>Meanwhile, he states a lot of those looking to cheat the [sports betting](https://olps.co.za/wiki/User:WinnieTeichelman) market were educated about [sports betting](https://chelseafansclub.com/read-blog/13175_best-u-s-sports-betting-sites-amp-sportsbooks-for-2024.html) and sporting people, and about wagering operations and the motion of cash.<br>
|
||||
<br>"They look for the vulnerabilities of these to assist in their enterprises."<br>
