What's crazy is that this kind of betting scandal has now reached Australia - Macarthur FC's Ulises Dávila, Kearyn Baccus and Clayton Lewis have all been arrested for the same reason. As an Adelaide United fan who openly opposes betting sponsorship, this kind of thing getting as far as the A-Leagues is shocking and downright infuriating. Much like the Paquetá case there are some pretty obvious examples as well - One quote from a detective superintendent was "It’s pretty clear when you know what you’re looking for... it’s extremely obvious it’s occurring."

@@listey Yes, big cricket fan here and because the spot fixing was set up and conducted here in the UK, the 3 players and an agent were charged and found guilty for essentially fraud and they served time here. They ended up back playing cricket, one of the them is back playing England right now, rightly or wrongly. And just to add, forever more do we watch stupid unbelievable no balls and the eyebrows are raised immediately.

[@ericlarson5398]

You do know a lot of criminal organizations have been found to use sites like betway to rinse their money right? I’m pretty sure betway even got fined 11million for not checking the proof of funds or source of the bets that ended up being from criminal transactions. Idk if he himself is trying to make a profit but he could be having friends or others place bets to improve his hometown or look after his family. The look isn’t good especially when there are random blips of massive bets being taken out for him to get a yellow with most of them being from his hometown. To be honest it’s not surprising if it’s true and there should be no place to bet on these things since it’s far to easy and likely to have a player actually ensure the line hits.

[@FindingLemo]

You think he wasn't throwing matches cause the big betting companies would pick up on it, despite the fact that there's countless of unofficial criminal organisations that offer bets and he wasn't somehow "persuaded" to get a yellow in a match. More than likely, only offence is he was caught out for it. Expect a massive ban.

[@ericlarson5398]

@@FindingLemo the whole reason this investigation started was because a organization noticed a large sum being placed on a legal gambling service in his hometown. And the big betting companies wouldn’t pick up on it because most of the time they don’t care. That’s why they have been found to not care when millions are placed through their sights from criminal organizations and they don’t do their due diligence. One site got fine 11 million because they didnt check since to them it only matters if the bet hits. If it misses they dont care cause they get their money.

I'm not sure if it's worse than the other cases. Here in Brazil, the media have already talked a lot about this case for hours and days. I don't trust my memory 100%, but it seems that the other cases are worse because the players did bet and profited. So the worst part of the punishment isn't about manipulation per se, but the fact that they shouldn't have bet. Paqueta did not bet. They started the investigation because a friend or family member that lives in Brazil put a big bet on him getting the card. They will have to prove that Paqueta contacted family and friends and told them he was going to get a yellow card. Proving it just through videos is difficult, only by going into his mind would it be possible to prove that he did it on purpose, otherwise it's just an assumption. If they punish him just with the video, other players will have to ask their friends to stop betting, because something suspicious could happen by coincidence and cause problems. If he is banned from the Premier League but not from football, Flamengo will have its doors open for him to return. It would be ideal for him to return together with Vinicius Jr to reprise the attacking duo, but he alone would be a reinforcement.

[@OscarOkeeffe06]

Very good video did miss a couple points however, the fa launched the investigation 8 months and 4 weeks ago, this means they had till the end of this week to submit the charges. Aswell as this paquetas lawyers last week were threatening to sue the fa as it blocked the move to man city so he was suing for lack of earnings, he could not do this if the fa charged. Thirdly over 6 monhs ago the Brazilian FA in relation with FIFA dropped the charges. And it is very difficult to prove, it may look obvious but since the ban is so long it means irrefutable evedence is needed. Also from watching west ham games and even the brazil vs england game paqueta consistantly plays like he has road rage its not just the 4 games shown ebery time he steps on the pitch he wants to chase the ball down and bulldose through people.

When are we getting History with Zealand channel.

I thought this was a Tonali/Toney type situation till I read up on it yesterday. Boy oh boy. No problem for me if we don't see him again. There needs to be a clear line in this sand. Gambling addictions are forgivable. This isn't.

Might be wise to lawyer up fella

Betting has ruined sports and the problem will only get more pervasive. The point of professional sports is for players and teams to compete at the highest level. Adding gambling to the equation completely undermines that concept. It’s time for people to stop acting like sports betting is separate from the playing of the sports itself. You have players being verbally harassed online for missing parlays or over/unders. You have players purposefully altering their game to win bets. You can’t even watch a game in any sport where you don’t see some kind of betting sponsor. This isn’t harmless fun, the truth is that sports betting, just like every other type of betting, is set up for the bookies to make money, and the actual integrity of the sport itself is of no importance to them.

5:18 That's not true. They ban this because players have insider information that no one else has access to, sometimes not even the odds makers but definitely not the average fans. Imagine you know that Harry Kane's dog died this week and he has missed nearly every practice and has been sad, you only know this because one of your former teammates is now on Bayern and knows Kane personally. You bet on Harry Kane to not score a goal. That's unfair to everyone else except the athletes. For this same reason, it should not be legal for NFL athletes to bet on college football here in the USA either.

At least in Italy they had the guts to run an investigation and sanction a number of players (there were more in the past, just not as high profile as Tonali and Fagioli). The English just pull the wool over their eyes and do nothing at all to fight that scourge. League is rife with rigging.

There's more to this story than meets the eye. Outside influences back home maybe Eta:- What a fucking waste of talent

True. Lots of organised crime in South America though. Doesn’t excuse him.

[@Beefy5039]

@@jacksonconstantine5740 Not suggesting for a second that it does mate. Just think there's an edge here. Another couple of guys from that area have been done with proven connections to organised crime
