Eels release Kieran Foran

Yes you need a verified account but I hardly think that someone who is into rigging football matches would shy away from a little bit of identity theft.

Perhaps they bet with OS bookies. That way the OS bookie is not an NRL "partner" and has no reporting obligations. Nor would they give a crap about Aussie police enquiries.

When is our response to the salary cap due? All gorn quiet

probably just after our response to Manly's betting claim....

I'm expecting to be slapped with a please explain to Cronulla's 2014 Peptides program too..

Good point. But I don't know how many of them would accept a $500k bet. I've had plenty of much smaller bets refused.

Kate McClymont was on ABC just now.

She said that this all started when a merkin came forward saying that he was in the same room as Hayson who was proposing to bet $500k+ on the Souths game to win 8+.

She said that none of the NRL aligned betting agencies had any red flags about that game.

She said that here is an allegation (from whom I don't know) that there are 6 players from two teams under the microscope re: the $50k each claim.

they would give a crap if large bets are being made that look odd

And I suspect that their total take on an NRL match would be much smaller than an Aussie bookmakers. The bets would stand out like dog's balls.

 

[Bigfella]

The witness will have a lot of credibility issues too no doubt. Probably a major falling out with the person he's putting in.

To pay 6 blokes 50k each you'd think you'd want a lot more than 500k at the 1.90 or so you'd be offered.

You'd be outplaying 800k for a profit of 150.

Some merkin gets sent off any you are screwed. Or one of the 11 you didn't payoff has a blinder?

 

[Bigfella]

Imagine if an Indian national rang an Aussie bookmaker to ask if he could have half a million on an IPL game. Do you think they might be slightly suspicious?

 

[Gary Gutful]

Nah. Pou does it all the time.

Exactly. They're bookies. Their whole business is making money.

So how did that Victorian 2nd tier soccer thing happen then ? Huge coin was wagered on those fixed matches.

[I'm a loser baby...]

That is a surprisingly large amount but they don't say how many matches or bets. Also suggests the bets were spread around.

Said there were 5 Manly players & 1 Souffs players under investigation

what's the point in paying a player from the winning team? they were trying to win the game anyway, for free...

Makes no sense to me..

Unless someone told him what was happening and the money was to shut up about it. Or he regularly gets paid to play badly and is very good at it.

Well, if you need that player's team to win by 8 or more, and they are leading by 4, and considering taking a shot at goal.......


But hell, even if this gambling addict planned to rig a game, or said he was going to rig a game, that doesn't mean that he really acted on those words. He could have been talking shit to impress a girl.

very true, or was just plain talking out of his arse..

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Pfft. My theories are clearly far more plausible.

For the most part. However, you lost me with your theory on marrying cousins.
