You can't just place any bet you like in a bookies. Large sums on small betting events are instantly detectable. Last year betting was suspened in a match between Ebdon and Wenbo because a few grand had been placed in seperate £100 and £200 bets on a 5-0 scoreline. Just a few grand.

At the end of the day - it doesn't matter what level you're at, any professional sportsman that throws a game/match should be banned.

I like John Higgins though, seems a nice chap and for that reason I hope he gets away scott free.

His manager looks a bit smarmy though, bring the book down on him.
