Snooker hits a new low..

How are the bookies gonna take any money on it if no one knows it's on? What about the exchange players? For conmen to pay hundreds of thousands you are talking about serious amounts of money wagered.

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.
