Arrests made on Asian Betting rings
With the popularity of the World Cup there
comes a lot of betting with it. Unfortunately,
some of this betting is conducted illegally,
especially in Malaysia and China where authorities

syndicates are concerned.
It is believe that the amounts run into the
hundreds of millions of dollars. The raids
