(London).- The FA wants gambling companies to withdraw betting markets on yellow cards and other in-game incidents amidst growing concerns about spot-fixing during matches.
FA officials have had talks with bookmakers and government about placing restrictions on some of the bets offered in certain competitions in a move that is likely to gain support from the Premier League.
The FA’s investigation into suspicious betting patterns surrounding bookings received by West Ham’s Lucas Paqueta in three Premier League games this year is their fourth high-profile probe into gambling on yellow cards in the last five years, and Mail Sport has been told there have been others that have not been made public.
Arsenal midfield player Granit Xhaka and Oxford defender Ciaran Brown were both investigated for suspicious bookings in Premier League and FA Cup games respectively in the last 18 months without any action being taken, while in 2018 Lincoln City’s Bradley Wood was given a six-year ban by the FA after being found guilty of deliberately getting booked twice in an attempt to win £10,000 on pre-arranged bets in two separate games during their run to the FA Cup quarter-finals.
In addition last season former Reading defender Kynan Isac was given an extraordinary ban of almost 12 years from football for being deliberately booked in an FA Cup tie between Stratford Town and Shrewsbury as part of a betting scam, while there have been numerous corruption cases in Scotland.
