- Description
A poster on the wall of a betting shop reads 'Unusual bet alerts TAB to sports betting scam'. An employee in the shop whispers to a colleague to 'call the cops' as the smiling customer 'wants to bet that the Black Caps will win the Cricket World Cup'. Context - A woman who tried to lay an unusually large bet on a National Rugby League match now under investigation by Australian authorities tipped off the New Zealand TAB to a possible scam. The attempted bet -- "well in the thousands" of dollars -- was for a North Queensland penalty goal to be the first score in the Cowboys' match against the Canterbury Bulldogs last August. New South Wales detectives are investigating suspicious betting activity in relation to the match after a betting plunge on a penalty to be the first score. (NZPA 7 February 2011)
