New Development in Complaint about Irregular Betting Patterns

Blue Square.com justifies its report to authorities New moves have been noted in the affair about suspicious betting patterns raised when Motherwell Football Club's Steve Jennings received a red card, this time with Blue Square.com explaining its report to the authorities following severe criticism throughout the media. It has informed the Scottish Premier League that there is extra evidence that has not yet been made public. According to Blue Square spokesman, Alan Alger: "We don't do things like this lightly. We've investigated the way the bets were placed and after 12 years in the betting industry I know what looks suspicious. We can't release the details because that might jeopardise the investigation. I know people are wanting to rally around the player and the club, but having heard Blue Square being criticised I wanted to say categorically that we wouldn't have taken it this far had we not had extra information, which we have brought to the attention of the Gambling Commission."
