<br>Sport [sports betting](https://huconnect.org/read-blog/468_sweepstakes-casino-controversy-and-celebrities-039-all-important-role.html) industry looks to secure itself<br>
<br>16 September 2010<br>[bit.ly](https://bit.ly/Bet9jaPromotionCodeYOHAIG)
<br>By Bill Wilson<br>
<br>Business reporter, BBC News<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
<br>[sports betting](http://addsub.wiki/index.php/User:SheldonScaddan) on sport is huge service.<br>
<br>Sport England approximates the value of costs on sport-related [sports betting](https://wiki.vst.hs-furtwangen.de/wiki/User:AngusCuevas84) 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 ₤ 1bn bet on the World Cup alone in the UK this summer.<br>
<br>Meanwhile, German research firm Sport & Markt estimates the total global gaming market will be worth 263[bn euros](https://youslade.com/read-blog/41419_for-sports-gambling-to-be-legalised.html) (₤ 220bn) by 2012, with much of that driven by web and [sports betting](http://connect.lankung.com/read-blog/11586_missouri-sports-betting-ballot-measure-approved-by-voters.html) gaming.<br>
<br>But when the integrity of events are struck the gambling industry suffers, and earnings are put under threat if consumers can not bet with self-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://miderde.de/index.php?title=Benutzer:TaylorCharbonnea) gambling market now.<br>
<br>"Not only is it a significant market in world business, it is one that is now on the front pages of newspapers."<br>
<br>Four Pakistan cricketers have been questioned by cops over spot-fixing allegations associating with a test versus England at Lord's last month.<br>
<br>Three of these gamers have actually stated they will also challenge the corruption charges installed against 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, however was prohibited last week for 6 months for failing to report the illegal approach to him to toss frames.<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
<br>There are likewise two other continuing examinations - unrelated to Mr Higgins - into snooker.<br>
<br>'Honest'<br>
<br>David O'Reilly is legal counsel for Betfair, one of the UK's greatest online sporting exchanges.<br>
<br>"If the sport is perceived as sincere, straight and reasonable that benefits [sports betting](https://benficafansclub.com/read-blog/14047_online-betting-firms-gamble-on-soccer-mad-nigeria.html) companies since individuals will invest cash wagering with confidence," he says.<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
<br>"If you take the Pakistan claims, although unassociated to the UK regulated [sports betting](http://it-viking.ch/index.php/User:BTEAshleigh) industry ... it is not really a favorable story for wagering in the UK.<br>
<br>"That is because the understanding is that 'cricket is now something we might have to be careful about'."<br>
<br>'Education'<br>
<br>So what can be done to avoid future scandals?<br>
<br>According to experts at a World [sports betting](https://africasfaces.com/read-blog/5850_best-u-s-sports-betting-sites-amp-sportsbooks-for-2024.html) Law Report conference into [sports betting](https://blkbook.blactive.com/read-blog/2281_compare-amp-review-oddsjet-de.html) gambling, the focus needs to be on sportspersons and sportswomen.<br>
<br>As Simon Taylor of the Professional Players' Federation points out: "The only individuals who can repair a match are the rivals or the referee."<br>
<br>His organisation represents men and females in 15 [sports betting](https://bbarlock.com/index.php/User:KristyMcDavid9) in the UK, being an umbrella organisation for all gamer organisations, such as the Professional Footballers' Association.<br>
<br>He thinks that it is inadequate to merely have deterrents, sanctions and disciplinary treatments, but that the method to take on prospective concerns around players is likewise through education.<br>
<br>Mr Taylor says guidelines need to be explained plainly to gamers with clear examples, and by individuals they respect.<br>
<br>"Through informing gamers about [sports betting](https://linkpiz.com/vn/13895/betting-firms-gamble-united-states-after-sports-wager-ruling) wagering you strengthen integrity which remains in everybody's interest," he adds.<br>
<br>"If gamers are harder to corrupt then sport will be more difficult to corrupt."<br>
<br>'Brand damage'<br>
<br>Matt Johnson, head of regulative legal guidance at the Football Association, agrees.<br>
<br>"Prevention is much better than remedy, and we likewise make a point of telling players 'you are going to be caught'."<br>
<br>"It is essential that sport is directly, and is seen to be straight," he adds.<br>
<br>"If it loses that then people don't want to bet, that is not in gambling firms' interests, and it is not in our interests."<br>
<br>He stated that as soon as a great reputation was lost, the damage to a sport was "incalculable".<br>
<br>FA guidelines mean players are not enabled to bank on a competition in which they are included.<br>
<br>Mr Johnson states players need to be seen not to be capitalizing any inside knowledge, which he says could trigger "brand damage" to football and its competitors.<br>
<br>So, even a Second Division gamer knocked out of the FA Cup in the autumn can not bet on a Manchester United v Chelsea cup last the following spring.<br>
<br>"We need to get over to gamers the reputational risk to the video game," he says. "Once confidence has been damaged it is tough to get it back - mud sticks."<br>
<br>'Overwhelmingly legal'<br>
<br>If this represents the "carrot" technique, 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 gambling in Great Britain.<br>
<br>An ex-chief constable of West Midlands authorities, Mr Tofiluk has duty for policing all [sports betting](http://ratel.ng/read-blog/61_how-to-play-bet9ja-online.html) in the UK apart from spread [sports betting](https://woodsrunners.com/index.php/User:RomanHupp045145), which is the remit of the FSA.<br>
<br>"The overwhelming bulk of [sports betting](https://taar.me/read-blog/8450_sport-betting-industry-aims-to-protect-itself.html) happening through UK operators is legal and reasonable," he says.<br>
<br>"But for some there is the temptation to ... corruptly hinder the result of a sporting event.<br>
<br>"Such cheating has the potential to weaken the stability of a sport, and it likewise harms the business interests of [sports betting](http://kitsap.whigdev.com/read-blog/3079_uk-betting-firms-gamble-on-us-after-sports-wager-ruling.html) bodies and [sports betting](https://wiki.sublab.net/index.php?title=User:ClintonBirmingha)."<br>
<br>The commission has established an in-house [Sports Betting](https://wiki.armello.com/index.php/User:ReggieBelstead) Intelligence Unit to get and disseminate info to sporting authorities, [sports betting](https://sansaadhan.ipistisdemo.com/read-blog/20632_for-sports-gambling-to-be-legalised.html) companies and policing authorities.<br>
<br>"Since 2007 we have actually experienced a considerable insight into world of corrupt [sports betting](https://www.eruptz.com/read-blog/17296_just-how-much-are-americans-spending-on-sports-betting.html)," he says.<br>
<br>"We will signal [sports betting](https://sosmed.almarifah.id/read-blog/109_best-u-s-sports-betting-sites-amp-sportsbooks-for-2024.html) of our concerns, to help avoid or curtail [illegal] activity"<br>
<br>In May 2010, the commission likewise introduced 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 been just one criminal prosecution, a 24-year-old man who was cautioned for unfaithful in relation to greyhound racing.<br>
<br>However, Mr Tofiluk says there are still eight ongoing examinations, and that much useful information has likewise been passed to [sports betting](https://projectblueberryserver.com/index.php/User:EzequielH97) authorities.<br>
<br>He said that where an examination by a sport governing body was quicker, and more cost efficient, then the commission would consider discontinuing a criminal examination "in favour of letting [sports betting](https://bbarlock.com/index.php/User:KristyMcDavid9) governing bodies take the lead".<br>
<br>Meanwhile, he states numerous of those aiming to cheat the [sports betting](https://mxlinkin.mimeld.com/read-blog/682_how-to-play-bet9ja-online.html) wagering market were well-informed about [sports betting](https://blkbook.blactive.com/read-blog/2286_tennessee-sports-betting-top-4-legal-betting-sites-in-2024.html) and sporting people, and about [sports betting](https://oeclub.org/index.php/User:AshlyClymer6) operations and the motion of money.<br>
<br>"They look for the vulnerabilities of these to help in their business."<br>
