UEFA and the Irish police have both become embroiled in a gambling scandal after irregular betting patterns in global markets
League of Ireland club Athlone Town are currently being investigated by the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) due to irregular betting patterns which saw more than €400,000 wagered on their domestic clash with Longford Town.
With just three minutes remaining the tie, the odds on another goal being scored in the game were significantly better than the odds of no further goals being scored thanks to the vast amounts of bets on over 3.5 goals being scored.
