NRL betting scandal deepens
Police have released CCTV footage of four men who placed bets of up to $500 on the outcome of the allegedly fixed NRL game between the Canterbury Bulldogs and the North Queensland Cowboys.
A total of $50,000 was placed on a betting option that the first points of the Round 24 match would come from a penalty goal.
Bulldogs player Ryan Tandy was penalised two minutes into the game for impeding a Cowboys player in front of the posts and the Cowboys were awarded a penalty goal, but they chose not to kick for goal and scored a try from a quick tap.
The day before the game, when a number of bets were placed, the odds were as high as 13 to 1, but they dropped as low as 3 to 1 as betting increased.
Detective Superintendent Arthur Katsogiannis told reporters in Sydney that the four men police want to speak to placed bets on the option.
But he is not suggesting they engaged in unlawful activity.
"The earlier the bets were placed, the higher the odds," Det Supt Katsogiannis said.
"I believe that at one stage it was up to $50,000 that was on this particularly exotic bet."
Police have spoken to a number of other people who placed bets on the option, but the four men in question have not been identified from the investigation.
