Michael Owen’s brother Terry (40) is the latest person to be investigated into an alleged betting probe after ringing in a £200 bet on Wayne Rooney staying at Old Trafford at 7/2 when everyone else was betting against the United striker staying.
Terry rang in the bet an hour before Rooney announced he was staying at Old Trafford and investigators believe he had inside information which is apparently illegal in the gambling world. So how come certain bookies use the same type tactics for their own use toentice punters to hand over their money? There have been plenty of times when bookie’s give out false exchanges on football and horse racing to gain an unfair advantage over the Joe soap punter and it’s about time they got a taste of their own medicine.
It’s the second investigation into alleged betting scams this week following Wayne Rooney’s Dad arrest in an investigation into an SPL game last year.
