FA To Investigate Match Fixing Allegation

The FA are to investigate a match fixing allegation in League Two, according to the Mail On Sunday.

A professional gambler has written to the FA about several large bets placed in the far-east on one un-named League Two fixture. The bets were all on the winners of the game winning by more than one goal - an outcome that was achieved.

The paper reports that over £1m was staked on the game, causing the odds to fall from 4/6 to 1/4. By comparison, UK bookmaker BetFred took just £100 on the game in question.
