The betting industry has seen some marked spikes in betting. So marked a few big bookmakers were forced to suspend betting this weekend in lesser UK leagues after suspicious patterns arose.The Blue Conference Premier League match between Grays and Forest Green Rovers - a team which made different headlines during the FA Cup 3rd Round - had betting called after an inordinate amount of wagers asking for Grays to go into the half losing but end the game victorious - a situation which offers incredibly good odds (22-1 in this case). Were the worries of Blue Square & William Hill substantiated?
Halftime: Forest Green 1-0
Fulltime: Grays 2-1
I’d say so. It may just be an incredible coincidence but such volume on a specific bet which comes to fruition is awfully suspicious. To the point neither of the bookies will be paying out any winnings on the match. More on that at theoffside

The problem lies with the way the betting industry is forced to operate. The E.U needs to step in and properly licence operators, allowing anyone with a license - but no-one else - to operate a book.
