Well this is a first, I've never heard anything like it but, when you sit back and take a deep look, I suppose it's another kind of match fixing.
There are many players out there who gamble on games but haven't been caught yet. Now how about getting booked on a purpose so you affect the betting market.
It makes you wonder how all this leaked out and how many more may be at it.
