A UK tourist is accused of using a secret device sewn into his shorts to sent points information to an accomplice in a betting scam.
Daniel Thomas Dobson, 22, was arrested after a match where he allegedly used the device to wirelessly send points information to an international betting agency before the action reached tv screens.
Dobson was said to have used the advantage of the 10 second delay between action and live tv to send the data and affect the betting odds.
