Coming from you that's laughable. I hope the CIA or Zionists catch up with you, you're of little use to wider society. Better get that tinfoil hat on.

Looks like Martin Standee Eastcoast is up to his old tricks on here & the FC board, trying to antagonise other users & contributing nothing.

Obviously the two previous bans he's had didn't mean anything. A repeat offender.

No problems. I've been meaning to turf a few people for a bit. And this is an interesting topic to discuss.

And before I cop a ton of criticism for not allowing folk to vent their spleen - there are only two such threads. And this isn't one of them.

Is there criminality in sports betting? Given that there is criminality in every aspect of life that involves money - most certainly yes.

Is sport routinely and systemically rigged? Unlikely.

It's obviously significantly harder to rig a sport like football or rugby because of the team nature of the game. You'd have to bribe most of the team. Even if you could get to the referee it's still difficult to definitely rig a game. Plus of course you've got footballers (and some Union players) who are paid so much it's not worth the risk of taking a bribe.

Where I think it's more likely is in sports like tennis, cricket, athletics and maybe golf. Very popular, worldwide sports that attract large amounts of betting money and you've got much more scope for affecting a result (or a certain situation as with spot betting). I get the feeling we've only just scratched the surface in discovering corruption with betting or drug taking in these sports.

you're an imbecilic dictator, singlehandedly killed The Sin Bin, there's little wonder it's only you that posts regularly.
