• Resumen

  • Sporting history is, in fact, littered with tales of match-fixing. These days match-fixing, especially in soccer, is heavily linked to betting. It has affected most nations, from Australia to Zimbabwe. Here, Ferguson examines how bookmakers hit back as online betting is luring criminal syndicates to rig sporting contests. Bookmakers are now striving to give punters ever more events to bet on and ways to bet, for example online and when matches are already underway.
