Uefa To Probe Panionios-Tbilisi Betting
12/3/2004 12:39:00 PM
Uefa are set to investigate suspicious betting patterns surrounding a Uefa Cup match on Wednesday between Greek side Panionios and Georgia’s Dinamo Tbilisi. Panionios came from 1-0 down to win 5-2 in the Group D encounter.
But several bookmakers suspended markets after noticing an unusual volume of trade before the match kicked off.
"We are in the process of looking for information from media reports, betting agencies and bookmakers," a Uefa spokesman told the BBC.
Newcastle, Sporting Lisbon and Sochaux are the other teams in Group D.
At half-time, Panionios were trailing to a Mikheil Kakaladze goal, but a 19-minute hat-trick in the second half from striker Evagelos Mantzios transformed the game.
Two more goals in stoppage time from Mario Breska and Karlos Marcora made it a comprehensive victory for the Greeks.
But the Racing Post newspaper reported unusual trading patterns across various bookmakers and betting exchanges, and Uefa is gathering as much information as it can before launching a possible investigation.
"We haven’t heard anything definite as yet but we are aware of the situation and are interested in looking further into it," added the spokesman.
"We will gather more information before deciding what to do next."
Betfair - a betting exchange rather than a traditional bookmaker - did not suspend the market and experienced a huge volume of trade at odds that would normally be regarded as highly uncompetitive.
The half-time/full-time market - in which punters predict who will be ahead in a football match at 45 and 90 minutes - saw some of the most unusual figures.
The odds on Tbilisi being in front at half-time and Panionios recovering to win would normally be expected to trade at around 33-1.
But Betfair saw prices tumble to only 4-1 before kick-off because of a massive influx of money, which brought down the odds.
"Clearly questions have to be asked," Betfair spokesman Tony Calvin told BBC Sport.
"We have a big security team of more than 30 people looking into any possible fraudulent activity and they spotted these patterns very early on."

Huvittavimmalta kuulostaa tuo HT/FT-veto, jossa vierasjoukkueen johto puoliajalla, kotijoukkueen voitto -yhdistelmän kerroin olisi ollut ainoastaan 5!! Normaalistihan tuollaisten yhdistelmien kertoimet pyörivät reippaasti yli 20:n kieppeillä, kuten jutussa mainittiinkin.
Viikonlopun pitkävedossa näyttää olevan mielenkiintoiset kertoimet Pelicansien tasureille, erityisen kiinnostavaa on SaiPa-Pelicans X kerroin 5.85, sillä käsittääkseni tässä kuitenkin puhutaan liigan kahden huonoimman joukkueen kohtaamisesta, joten tasuri ei voi niin järin kaukana olla. Myös Lukko-Pelicans X kertoimella 6.80 kiinnostaa. Näille vaan pitäisi löytää sopiva kaveri tuplaan. Esimerkiksi ManUn pistemenetystä So´tonia vastaan on vaikea kuvitella. ManUn kerroin on kyllä täysin kelvoton (1.20), mutta mielestäni veto jää silti odotusarvoltaan pelattavaksi jos sitä yhdistää noihin tasureihin.
