Niall McNamee's Gambling Problem

[heffo]

Not in any way to comment on this case but I am just wondering about the wider implication of sports betting and Gaelic Footballers or Hurlers having the ability to bet on something that they can have an affect in the outcome. We can see the trouble that cricket find themselves in, are we just a step away from something similar?

It has happened before, it just hasn't been uncovered. Anybody tha thinks it doesent happen is very naive. Not saying its widespread though.

There were deep suspicions surrounding a football league fixture in the last ten years and a county who had won the AI recently at the time. Large amounts of money were staked on a particular outcome, which happened in the end.

Was it a MOM issue?

I have heard of supporters of a club paying a player not to score

Hmmm Galway vs Wexford in the league in Tuam Stadium a good few years back is perhaps the game being hinted at?

What are you basing this on?

Maybe it goes on and maybe it doesn't - I don't know. I find it hard to believe it goes on in championship. *Maybe* in smaller games.

I know of an O'Byrne Cup Shield game a couple of years ago that was fixed,one of the teams threw the game , they were favourites before the match.Think the team who won were 5/4.
