LEADING UK online betting site, Betonsports has fired its CEO. Mainly because he is under arrest in Fort Worth,Texas. Amongst the charges against David Carruthers are racketeering and charges of illegally taking online sports bets. The company is insistent that besides Carruthers and founder, Gary Kaplan, none of the other directors are named in the charges.
The company chairman, Clive Parritt, has flown to Betonsports' headquarters in Costa Rica to take command.
The whole area of Internet gambling in the USA is extremely clouded. Antigua, for example, has taken the USA to the World Trade Organisation because it says that US actions against overseas betting firms are illicit.
While Betonsports says Kaplan has not been involved in the group's day-to-day management for a while, Kaplan turns out to be a very colourful character indeed.
A former New York bookmaker, Kaplan is reported to surround himself with seven bodyguards and carry a gun at all times.
When Kaplan visited London to help float the company, he approached a well-known frim of consultants. As Kaplan bore a remarkable visual resemblance to Joe Pesci's character in the gangster film GoodFellas, the consultants declined his offer to work with Betonsports.
Kaplan is thought to be sheltering somewhere in Latin America. The scandal may also spread to another site - Igotsportsbook.com - which was reputedly founded by Gary Kaplan after he sold his shares in Betonsports.
The INQ isn't without its own brush with the US authorities over betting. Our man was once pounced upon by an armed security guard for using a mobile phone in a Las Vegas sports bar.
July 27, 2007 -- IF there are two ways to look at every story, at least give the other way a shot.
In other words, while this Tim Donaghy NBA gambling scandal has caused justifiable hysteria and sky-is-falling angst, it's actually a good story, a hopeful one. Heck, if integrity is the issue, it could turn out to be the feel-good sports story of the year.
After all, if Donaghy is guilty, they got him! He didn't get away with it. It caught up with him. And they caught him.
That's good; that's very good. That should stimulate some satisfaction, some sense of good-defeats-evil, no? That's why "Cops" has been such an enduring TV show: There's satisfaction in watching bad guys being chased down, cuffed and stuffed into a patrol car. The rat didn't get away with it.
Last Friday wasn't a good day for bad guys, it was a rotten one. And that's good.
But what we're hearing, here, there and everywhere, since this story broke, is what many folks have hollered for years: All sports that carry betting lines, and every turn of every card, is fixed.
They're fixed at every level, from the coach's decision to punt instead of trying a field goal - "The [bleep] had to have bet the under!" - to the crime family's daily meeting in the back of the social club.
Everyone has a story or 10 about what he or she saw, no doubt about it, as a fixed game, a shaved game, a corrupted outcome. And this Donaghy scandal cements it. "See? You didn't believe me. This NBA ref proves what I've been saying for years."
But it more likely proves the opposite. If gambling-corrupted outcomes are even fractionally as common, we'd be left to explain how the lid could be so tightly held on daily occurrences facilitated by thousands of people, especially given that secrets are no longer secrets as soon as more than one person knows and there's money to be made.
Every day, several games' betting lines would leap for no apparent reason in one direction or the other. That doesn't happen. Local bookies and owners of Las Vegas sports books would swap places with their customers in homeless shelters. That doesn't happen.
If thousands of people are daily in the game-fixing business, it stands to reason that Tim Donaghy stories would by now inspire nothing more visceral than a yawn.
