Wouldn't be as good at the lower prices..It's nice to get the money from the bookies when there's even the sniff of a scam!!!

Is there any suspicion that ONL is somehow connected to these scams?

Pure joke I was hearing about this all week wish I'd put a few quid on. I think it was 14/1 at a stage for all 3. Dodgy dodgy league that!

Hate to rain on anyone's anti-soccer parade and while Norn Iron is a rubbish league, in Tyrone club football a lot of games are thrown at the end of the season. Not for betting purposes but old favours and such. Was highlighed last year with a county board man going public about it. We all knew the results of games before they were played. So we really can't get on our high horse about this one.

I agree in a small part but I doubt if Tyrone league games are rigged with scamming the bookies in mind. I doubt if you'd even get a price on a Tyrone club league game in most bona-fide bookies.

Professional sportsmen setting out to commit gambling fraud is somewhat different.
