||||
<br>Sport England estimates the worth of costs on sport-related gambling in England grew from ₤ 1.7 bn in 1985 to ₤ 2.8 bn in 2008.<br> |
||||
<br>Which figure is most likely to have grown even more, with an approximated ₤ 1bn bet on the World Cup alone in the UK this summer season.<br> |
||||
<br>Meanwhile, German research firm Sport & Markt estimates the total international gaming market will deserve 263bn euros (₤ 220bn) by 2012, with much of that driven by internet and sports gaming.<br> |
||||

||||
<br>"If you take the Pakistan claims, although unassociated to the UK controlled wagering market ... it is not really a favorable story for betting in the UK.<br> |
||||
<br>"That is since the perception is that 'cricket is now something we may need to be cautious about'."<br> |
||||
<br>'Education'<br> |
||||
<br>So what can be done to prevent future scandals?<br> |
||||
<br>According to specialists at a World Sports Law Report conference into sports gambling, the focus needs to be on sportsmen and sportswomen.<br> |

<br>He stated that when an excellent reputation was lost, the damage to a sport was "incalculable".<br> |
||||
<br>FA rules indicate players are not permitted to wager on a competitors in which they are included.<br> |

<br>Mr Johnson says gamers have actually to be seen not to be capitalizing any inside knowledge, which he says could trigger "brand name damage" to football and its competitions.<br> |
