No betting was placed on higgins matches. Bets had been in jogia's.

But the bet's were placed. That's were the infringement lies and it is traced back to jogia via the text messages.

You may be inadvertently right. Maybe his face doesn't fit in with the WPBSA club? Perhaps Higgin's face did, so it's a slap on the wrist for him, despite his offence being many more times worse.

Isn't there an appeal process?

[beechy1212]

It should have been a life ban.

Although Higgins got off lightly, every player was warned about what would happen if they were caught out. What an idiot to even try fix a match with all the bookies on red alert and everything being scrutinised

[Neil Taperell]

All the bookies are always alert to any kind of irregular betting patterns ......very hard to cheat these days .

tbf I have at least one bankrupt (more than once) in my close family. I agree that Jogia has been an idiot, and he deserves a ban but you can understand his anger at the difference in his and Higgins' punishment. Interesting that Jogia is threatening to lift the lid on corruption within the game, let's see what happens. I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear that many players, at the very least, are guilty of spot fixing. It would be so easy to do, and when some of the lower-ranked players are paid so little, the temptation must be huge.
