Startled to read an article this morning that will be aired on 4 corners tonight. If true this will be massive, should amateur sports (eg our kids) be subject to betting.

For those that remember the Andres Escobar tragedy, some media reports that it was due to a nutters loss of national pride. The reality is that it was likely someone lost a large bet (see below). Do we really need our amateur sports players... or anyone here really potentially subject to that. Anyway it early days on this issue, but if true corporate Australia may have plumbed to some new lows. Tonights viewing will be interesting to say the least.
