UEFA Makes Moves to Crackdown on Gambling Scams

UEFA are talking to betting exchange, Betfair, in a bid to clamp down on alleged corruption in football gambling, according to This is LondonLast month, dubious betting patterns caused both UEFA and the Greek authorities to look into the activity – as bookies stopped taking bets on a minor bet of 'losing at half-time then winning at full-time' for the match between Panionios's and Dinamo Tbilisi. Panionios won the game 5-2

Betfair have made a number of agreements with sporting bodies to alert them when gambling activity shows potential 'foul play'.

I wonder what the 'alert' factor is and how high the volume has to go before the alerts occur.
