The FA are to investigate today's match between Accrington and Bury after a surprisingly large amount of money was bet on Bury.
The Shakers were a 2/1 shot on Friday, but the game kicked off with most bookies having already stopped taking bets and the odds down to 5/6. They won the game 2-0, with Betfair alone taking over £280,000 worth of bets on the match - more than ten times the £20,000 staked on Rochdale's match with Shrewsbury.
One bookmaker told the press: "We saw a weight of money for Bury and from an opening price of 2/1, we had to cut their price throughout Friday to 10/11. The amount of money was unprecedented and unusual. We took the decision to suspend betting on the game on Friday evening."
He added: "For what amounts to a nothing end-of-season game, there was an unusual interest in it. Fortunately, we have not been hit as hard as some."
Bury's 2-0 win was thanks to an Andy Bishop double, the first a penalty after defender Phil Edwards brought down Nicky Adams in the box. Referee Darren Deadman awarded the penalty, booking Edwards for the challenge. Accrington managed 16 shots to Bury's 5, and won nine corners to three.
