Quinten Hann - Snooker cheat?

[GETT1NLOTS]

It seems like Hann has been a naughty boy.

If only I knew I would have backed against him.

To be fair though I always thought he was shite anyway? Does anyone ever back him to win?

Oh yeah. Here's the link.

Not having the best of times is he. Surprised he's been caught if it is true, I'd have thought it must be very easy to rig matches in one player sports like snooker.

Yeah I mean you can deliberately miss balls by a fraction and jaw them and it can look pretty convincing. Or put a touch too much screw on etc.
Other sports it can be blatently obvious if you are trying to throw games.
I think quinten is actually supposed to be pretty decent....he just doesn't seem to have the desire to do well. Seems quite content hovering around the top part of the game scooping up the prize money for quarters etc.
Hey anyone remember top trumps ?
Play the online snooker version here I particularly like Alex higgins controversy factor

I guess some sports might be blantantly obvious Alien but I've heard tennis also has it's fair share "gentleman's agreement's". Wouldn't have thought it'd affect the grandslam tournaments but definitely not a surprise in one of the lesser events.

Thinking about it though people can easily make up excuses to explain a sub-standard performance. Recurrence of an old injury, personal problems etc.

What does amaze me though is people trying to fix team sports. Surely it's just too hard, so many people to bribe, and the chances of someone blabbing... There was the big German case this year in a cup game between non league Paderborn and Bundesliga team Hamburg. The ref sent off Hamburg's striker (Mpenza I think), and awarded Paderborn 2 penalties. I mean come on, that sort of behaviour from a ref is just going to attract attention.

So to summarise, if your planning a career in bet fixing stick to non-team events.
