I'm surprised people don't really see the implications of streaming an amateur competition overseas, which appears to be for the sole reason of providing coverage for overseas betting markets. Reckon it's pretty naive not to think that players in those competitions, who most don't earn a lot of money from football, would be approached from such betting markets. 

As a Charlton supporter I'll always remember the time in the 1990's when the floodlights at the Valley suddenly went dark during the second half of a game.

Turned out that the groundsman had been bribed by an Asian betting syndicate to pull the plug on the lights when a result wasn't going their way...

The groundsman wouldn't have been on big money (Charlton had been struggling to keep afloat and were saved by community support).

Clearly amateur clubs in the Handa Premiership have to be careful about attempted influencing of games.

Me and my mates have noticed an Asian chap at English Park in the past seemingly relaying results on his cellphone throughout a game.
