Shark Utd in betting scandal |
Ultimate League Division 4G side Shark Utd were today caught up in a betting scandal, involving Monday's game against Orange Mooses. Shark Utd scored an easy six nil victory against the Division's whipping boys, with all six goals coming in the first half.
However, substantial bets were placed at half time on Shark Utd not creating any further chances or scoring any goals in the second half. This was deemed very odd, as Shark had created thirteen chances in the first half alone, and were dominating
The second half did in fact end nil nil, with no chances created, despite Shark Utd dominating possession and having almost exactly the same team on the field.possession. Bookmakers looked into the bets placed, and found that a number of them had been placed in Singapore.
When questioned by the media, Shark Utd manager Hertz Van Rental was at a loss to explain the situation, but did not lay the blame at his players.
"How a team can dominate a second half and not create a single chance is beyond me, I agree, something is definitely dodgy. However, I think my players are completely innocent. They are future superstars and have too much to lose to be caught up in any betting shenanigans. Perhaps the police would be better off looking at the dodgy game engine which allows such stupidity in the first place".
