Not sure if you read that correctly, but all placed their bets on Bury to win, which they did. 4/5 played for Accrington which would say otherwise.

But yes,  :soapy tit wank: at the guy who put a fiver on in an accumulator.

they can't prove it - it's not against the law (of England) - how the fuck did they get the information - I hope Bet365 don't give my firm any details of my bets!

ron, I would guess that the betting company would have seen the large bets come in and probably investigated them, and then reported this to the FA with the aim of getting the stake and winnings back.

This is something that our betting expert Bert may be able to field on his return from holiday.
