Wonder if this refers to filming via smartphone, then posting online? |  |

Read about this on twitter.
Bloke was texting during the match and was asked to stop by a steward.
Reason for was new rules aimed at stopping people tipping off betting people before bookies can react to events on the pitch.
Bloke said he was texting his girlie about a players hair and his mum.
Good luck enforcing this rule at any ground, anywhere! |  |

I fully expect this security is there to protect the gambling companies. Guess the firm was set up by them to protect their interest in the In Play markets. I like a bet but confine it to horses, dogs and the occasional Dale away game.
This in play market stuff hacks me off. The firms all offer substantially over rounds prices on a plethora of different outcome in football, like next yellow card etc, but then crap themselves when there is a loophole to be exploited, by either betting at the ground or getting the money down via an open phone line to a third party. The firms what to have their cake and eat it. They want the income from these or round and bespoke markets but not to be exposed to smart losses. The answer is simple revert to only offering markets that don’t leave you open to exposure and stop treating every account holder like the enemy within.

Interesting prog on the beeb last week about gambling. Tennis seems to be the best "in play" way of making money. Fella goes all over the world, blue tooth head set, hair grown over ear, looks for umpire with slow official input of outcome of point and they fire info off to people placing bets on line in the Asian market. He reckoned he earned about £3m a year I think he said, but it's hugely costly with flights, tickets, hotels etc etc and after deducting exes he was only clearing £300k. I say only - good money and he was on a crusade against the bookies after suffering the fallout of a gambling addiction, but he didn't look a well man. One umpire had to enter a pin before he could enter the score officially on each point! They cleaned up that day.
I must admit, I would be surprised if this policing is on behalf of the bookies unless the bookies are paying towards it. Good to see common sense prevailing in the end anyway. [Post edited 12 Aug 2019 21:21]

I watched that and found it bizarre that the tennis guy would give up his secret on film. | |

Exactly, but it seems to be an industry? Can't see that loophole remaining for long. | |

I think he was sick with his income. His nerves looked to be shot. But I get your drift - not too many £300k p.a. jobs out there! | |
