suspected case of football betting fraud in Italy

[Lida93]

I just checked the article link provided above, and I must confess, it seems the story is not complete, because all I could see is that Bellomo who was on bench was expelled for protesting with the linesman while his team was already winning with 3-0, But the reason for the protest was not mention, as I'm sure there must always be a reason for every action or reaction a person makes. And secondly, I also saw he has already been charged by the  Federal Prosecutor's Office of the Football Association opened for suspected multiple bets fraud, of which the outcome of the bet is still not mention, because who knows if his prediction was that he will have a red card on the game? And the referee just ignorantly contributed to making his bet successful. Who knows..  But however, I hope to see what the outcome of the investigation will turn out to be.

Exactly what I was looking for that I had to re-read the article to be sure I didn't miss out on that area but it's quite obvious they omitted that part. For an independent investigation these are all aspects that will be looked at to arrive to an unbiased conclusion. However, the action of Bellomo doesn't seem to be one of a coincidence with the red card plus such pulled bet for that option from bettors especially with the fact that it's his club that was winning the match with 3:0 already. It's not everyday we see players getting a red card from bench for misconduct particularly of this nature which is why all circumstance points to a betting fraud. Something doesn't just seem right about it.

If at the end of the investigation, it turns out to be a case of betting fraud, then the footballer deserves the punishment that would come to him. It should be strong enough to such that he would be an example to other footballers who think they can get away with betting fraud. He just threw his chances of playing in the top league the Serie A or other big leagues away. A disappointment to his friends and family.

Some of the events that are happening with football is highly unbelievable and I don't even know why footballer or clubs go to this extent of actually fixing games. The last report that was vividly strong I heard of was the scandal of actually fixing matches not just one in the Brazilian football lower division and if you take proper examination into it then you would see that some of these events are all happening even if it's seem football is like a transparent sport.

a player from Serie B (second series in order of importance in Italy) was sent off (from the bench!) during a play-off.
his team was also winning 3-0 but he argued aggressively with the linesman.
obviously there was an anomalous flow of bets which, combined with inappropriate conduct, led to this request for investigations.

And you, dear fellow bettors, what do you think? what is your opinion in this case?

It's very hard to determine when cheating happens, because gathering definitive proof is extremely hard to do and if different bookmakers are hit each time, they might only be able to assume it is a sketchy bet and place restrictions on future bets. The further down the leagues you go, the more you are likely to see this sort of untoward behaviour because there is less coverage and player salaries are lower - so the lure of easy money increases. However it is on bookmakers to track these things and if they are seeing what they suspect is fraud, they should report it and potentially stop offering markets on those leagues until they are comfortable again.

A lot of things are happening lately football. Players are becoming corrupt and selling themselves to casinos or big gamblers, who can pay them a huge amount of money if they cause the game not to go in the right manner, which is going to cause the casino or the whale gambler to make more profit. In my opinion, if any player is caught cheating or involved in any form of betting fraud, they should be banned from ever playing for any top league.

I read the translation of the article and without a doubt this is a suspicious event, after all a soccer player losing his mind on the field and doing something dumb happens all the time, but when there is evidence there were some specific bets that targeted such outcome, then this makes me suspicious that there is in fact something going on as it did not made sense, this is similar to what has happened on the past in which casinos offered the bet about whether or not there was going to be a pitch invasion during a match, and the one that does it is the person that made that bet.
