[bit.ly](https://bit.ly/Bet9jaPromotionCodeYOHAIG)<br>Sport [sports betting](http://it-viking.ch/index.php/User:MargartMillican) market looks to safeguard itself<br>
<br>16 September 2010<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
<br>By Bill Wilson<br>
<br>Business press reporter, BBC News<br>
<br>[sports betting](https://cosplaybook.de/read-blog/7040_how-are-betting-odds-calculated.html) on sport is huge service.<br>
<br>Sport England estimates the value of spending on in England grew from ₤ 1.7 bn in 1985 to ₤ 2.8 bn in 2008.<br>
<br>And that figure is likely to have grown further, with an approximated ₤ 1bn bet on the World Cup alone in the UK this summertime.<br>
<br>Meanwhile, German research study firm Sport & Markt estimates the general international gambling market will be worth 263bn euros (₤ 220bn) by 2012, with much of that driven by internet and [sports betting](http://ringturbine.com:80/index.php/User:BeatrizWolken) gaming.<br>
<br>But when the integrity of events are hit the gaming market suffers, and incomes are put under threat if consumers can not bet with confidence.<br>
<br>And there can have been couple of higher-profile sport wagering stories than those impacting cricket and snooker this year.<br>
<br>High-profile<br>
<br>As Sport & Markt's Gareth Moore observes: "Everyone discuss the [sports betting](https://lets.chchat.me/read-blog/1973_compare-amp-review-oddsjet-de.html) market now.<br>
<br>"Not just is it a considerable market in world company, it is one that is now on the front pages of papers."<br>
<br>Four Pakistan cricketers have been questioned by authorities over spot-fixing claims relating to a test against England at Lord's last month.<br>
<br>Three of these gamers have actually said they will also challenge the corruption charges installed versus the trio by the sport governing body the International Cricket Council.<br>
<br>Meanwhile, three-times snooker world champ John Higgins was cleared of match-fixing claims, but was banned last week for 6 months for stopping working to report the illegal approach to him to toss frames.<br>
<br>There are likewise two other continuing investigations - not related to Mr Higgins - into snooker.<br>
<br>'Honest'<br>
<br>David O'Reilly is legal counsel for Betfair, among the UK's biggest online sporting exchanges.<br>
<br>"If the sport is perceived as truthful, straight and fair that is good for wagering firms because people will spend cash wagering with self-confidence," he states.<br>
<br>"If you take the Pakistan allegations, although unassociated to the UK managed [sports betting](https://accc.rcec.sinica.edu.tw/mediawiki/index.php?title=User:LashawndaGoulbur) industry ... it is not actually a positive story for [sports betting](https://www.womplaz.com/read-blog/90_things-you-need-to-know-about-rafting-adventures.html) in the UK.<br>
<br>"That is since the understanding is that 'cricket is now something we may need to beware about'."<br>
<br>'Education'<br>
<br>So what can be done to prevent future scandals?<br>
<br>According to specialists at a World [sports betting](https://cheere.org/read-blog/36227_the-ins-and-outs-of-betting-on-the-nfl-draft.html) Law Report conference into [sports betting](http://chillibell.com/read-blog/475_sports-minister-tracey-crouch-resigns-over-039-delay-039-to-betting-crackdown.html) gambling, the focus has to be on sportspersons and sportswomen.<br>
<br>As Simon Taylor of the Professional Players' Federation points out: "The only people who can fix a match are the rivals or the referee."<br>
<br>His organisation represents males and females in 15 [sports betting](https://connectingsparks.com/read-blog/25100_the-ins-and-outs-of-betting-on-the-nfl-draft.html) in the UK, being an umbrella organisation for all player organisations, such as the Professional Footballers' Association.<br>
<br>He believes that it is insufficient to simply have deterrents, sanctions and disciplinary treatments, however that the way to tackle possible concerns around gamers is likewise through education.<br>
<br>Mr Taylor says rules need to be discussed plainly to players with clear examples, and by people they appreciate.<br>
<br>"Through educating players about [sports betting](https://onetable.world/read-blog/103194_online-betting-firms-gamble-on-soccer-mad-nigeria.html) you enhance integrity and that is in everybody's interest," he includes.<br>
<br>"If players are more difficult to corrupt then sport will be harder to corrupt."<br>
<br>'Brand damage'<br>
<br>Matt Johnson, head of regulatory legal guidance at the Football Association, concurs.<br>
<br>"Prevention is better than cure, and we also make a point of telling players 'you are going to be caught'."<br>
<br>"It is important that sport is directly, and is seen to be directly," he adds.<br>
<br>"If it loses that then people do not wish to wager, that is not in gaming companies' interests, and it is not in our interests."<br>
<br>He stated that when a good track record was lost, the damage to a sport was "enormous".<br>
<br>FA rules imply gamers are not permitted to wager on a competition in which they are included.<br>
<br>Mr Johnson says gamers have to be seen not to be cashing in on any inside knowledge, which he says might cause "brand name damage" to football and its competitions.<br>
<br>So, even a 2nd Division gamer knocked out of the FA Cup in the fall can not wager on a Manchester United v Chelsea cup final the following spring.<br>
<br>"We need to overcome to players the reputational threat to the game," he states. "Once confidence has actually been damaged it is difficult to get it back - mud sticks."<br>
<br>'Overwhelmingly legal'<br>
<br>If this represents the "carrot" approach, then maybe Nick Tofiluk, director of regulation at the Gambling Commission, represents the "stick".<br>
<br>The Gambling Commission was established under the Gambling Act 2005 to manage industrial [sports betting](https://micircle.in/read-blog/443_the-ins-and-outs-of-betting-on-the-nfl-draft.html) in Great [Britain](https://surgiteams.com/index.php/User:DanePutnam).<br>
<br>An ex-chief constable of West Midlands authorities, Mr Tofiluk has duty for policing all [sports betting](http://www.mizmiz.de/read-blog/83414_how-to-play-bet9ja-online.html) in the UK apart from spread wagering, which is the remit of the FSA.<br>
<br>"The overwhelming bulk of [sports betting](https://wooshbit.com/read-blog/18736_sports-minister-tracey-crouch-resigns-over-039-hold-up-039-to-betting-crackdown.html) wagering happening through UK operators is legal and reasonable," he says.<br>
<br>"But for some there is the temptation to ... corruptly hinder the outcome of a sporting event.<br>
<br>"Such unfaithful has the possible to weaken the integrity of a sport, and it likewise damages the business interests of [sports betting](https://www.contraband.ch/read-blog/41886_sweepstakes-casino-controversy-and-celebrities-039-all-important-role.html) bodies and [sports betting](https://lidoo.com.br/read-blog/14729_tennessee-sports-betting-top-4-legal-betting-sites-in-2024.html)."<br>
<br>The commission has established an internal [Sports Betting](https://kiigasofthub.com/read-blog/10136_sport-betting-industry-looks-to-protect-itself.html) Intelligence Unit to get and distribute info to sporting authorities, wagering firms and policing authorities.<br>
<br>"Since 2007 we have actually experienced a substantial insight into world of [corrupt](https://africasfaces.com/read-blog/5876_how-to-attract-users-to-my-fantasy-sports-platform.html) [sports betting](https://rhabits.io/read-blog/7577_sweepstakes-casino-controversy-and-celebrities-039-all-important-role.html) wagering," he says.<br>
<br>"We will signal [sports betting](https://mybuddis.com/read-blog/75_sweepstakes-casino-controversy-and-celebrities-039-all-important-role.html) of our issues, to help avoid or curtail [unlawful] activity"<br>
<br>In May 2010, the commission likewise presented a private telephone hotline for those with info or suspicions.<br>
<br>'Vulnerabilities'<br>
<br>But in a two-and-a-half year period there has actually been just one prosecution, a 24-year-old man who was cautioned for cheating in relation to greyhound racing.<br>
<br>However, Mr Tofiluk says there are still eight ongoing examinations, and that much useful info has actually also been passed to [sports betting](https://inicknet.com/read-blog/2263_how-to-attract-users-to-my-fantasy-sports-platform.html) authorities.<br>
<br>He said that where an examination by a sport governing body was quicker, and more expense efficient, then the commission would think about terminating a criminal investigation "in favour of letting [sports betting](https://sportify.brandnitions.com/read-blog/20_enhance-your-business-opportunities-with-efficient-sports-apps.html) governing bodies take the lead".<br>
<br>Meanwhile, he says much of those wanting to cheat the [sports betting](https://globalunitedspirits.com/read-blog/3642_online-betting-firms-gamble-on-soccer-mad-nigeria.html) wagering market were knowledgeable about [sports betting](https://blablasell.com/read-blog/11896_uk-betting-firms-gamble-on-united-states-after-sports-wager-ruling.html) and sporting individuals, and about [sports betting](https://bytes-the-dust.com/index.php/User:JimJenkinson549) operations and the movement of money.<br>
<br>"They look for the vulnerabilities of these to assist in their enterprises."<br>
