I don't really know much about betting, but I think from what I have noticed in all the Manure games the ref give the decisions when it seems that Man United will struggle and the game seems out of their hand e.g. when we equalised or when Liverpool had a brilliant start. I think that way ppl will be inclined to bet for us or Liverpool at that time and then with the red cards, offside goals, penalties and everything the whole situation turns around and all the people who bet for Liv and Chelsea lose their bets. I dunno. Also wasn't Rooney's father and uncle in some betting scam for the SPL could that have a link with all this?
