About 200 European football games are under investigation in a match-fixing inquiry, German prosecutors have said.
...
On Thursday police carried out about 50 raids in Germany, the UK, Switzerland and Austria, making 17 arrests and seizing cash and property.
Yeah, yeah... more corruption, but what's interesting - at the end of the article about (yet another) investigation of match fixing in European soccer, there was this little tidbit:
[Following a German scandal in 2005] Uefa has since introduced an early warning system which flags up unusual betting patterns.
The betting fraud detection system monitors real-time betting, giving investigators an immediate idea of whether there are irregular patterns.
The recent arrests would seem to indicate the detection process is working, but the scale of the manipulation must be a concern...
I'll just *ahem* bet
