The gambling world is loaded with events that could be interesting to the public. We will not hear about most of them as the gambling business likes keeping secrets away from curious ears. However, information on particular cases seeps into the mass and becomes the subject of heated debates.
In this article, we will talk about one of these accidents.
Fraudulent Journalist
Let's talk about an elegant fraud, not the least in the Casinoz hall of fame. It happened in the early '90s. Its author was Neil Taylor, an employee of the Racing Post.
His plan was as follows.
- Neil made dog race bets at small bookmakers.
- Then he published false results of greyhound racing.
- The issue went to press and then been released with misleading information, profitable for the cheater.
- Bookmakers were using this data and paid Neil his winnings.
That was nothing surprising. The Internet wasn't generally available, and many bookmakers used media to find the results. Racing Post published all the data from current sports events.
Neil didn't work alone. He involved one of his guys, who made bets on the events. Neil, in his turn, made every effort to make their bet win.
Profitable Fraud
Neil and his partner managed to get about 17000 British pounds quickly. However, they were disclosed very soon.
It was revealed that the newspaper published false results after another race. The first version was just a typo in the newspaper, but the computer stored the same data.
Feeling it smells like smoke, Neil decided to confess and surrender to the police.
