Proceeding contribution from Philip Davies (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 May 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Sports Betting.
Sports Betting
Perhaps I can set my hon. Friend's mind at rest. If some of those novelty markets were being manipulated in the way he suggests, bookmakers would rapidly stop laying prices on them, as I believe has happened with, for example, the time of the first throw-in. Some footballers were hoofing it out straight from the kick-off and making a killing. Bookmakers soon cottoned on to that and started withdrawing those novelty bets, so if there were any great manipulation, those opportunities would soon diminish.
