President Tom Harding discovers gambling
Tom Harding, vice president of the company, described how the snooker regulator worked with technology companies to monitor what was possible to bet on, "found problematic bets and reports from relevant operators, and some reporting materials, and even some players voluntarily admitted to involving gambling activities." The company also uses artificial intelligence to further detect and analyze the data on the player's mobile phone, detect whether these data are within a normal range within a certain time or game, and under artificial intelligence we can extract the player's mobile phone text and voice records. However, during this process, a player is suspected of deleting some information, but one player did not delete it, which is why this incident happened.
Marvell talks about the causes of corruption
Mavel, head of the World Snooker and Professional Billiards Association's survey, said: "These snooker players moved to Ding Junhui Academy in the hope that they would have a good platform to add to their careers. But what I didn't expect was that there would be such an incident, and there were two senior gamblers among these people, which was the key reason for the rapid corruption of the entire team, plus some people were not very rich, lack of funds, coupled with the epidemic abuse, various factors came together to eventually lead to such an incident.
Strengthen oversight and liaison with snooker colleges
Marvell, head of the World Snooker and Professional Billiards Association's investigation, said that there would be a bonus plan, and in order to prevent such an event, we would also set a minimum income of £20,000 per season, and he also said that with the help of the Chinese association, the supervision of the snooker academy would be strengthened and some excellent people would manage the academy to make it legal. We're going to deal with the academy to a greater extent.
Marvell on match-fixing ratios
In the eyes of the media, the snooker match-fixing case is the largest gambling case in history and has also become hot news, but Mavel, head of the World Snooker and Professional Billiards Association's investigation, is still optimistic about the future, "We monitor about 3,000 matches a year, and since the beginning of 2018, only 13 matches have been manipulated through monitoring, of which 10 are held in China, accounting for 0.1% of the total number of matches we monitor." So as a sport, we are clean and most golfers are there to make a living and to shine in the sport. In my opinion, snooker is in a positive state at the moment, and of course, although it's a bit weird to say that now, I think the sport is really in a better shape after we just went through this case.
Jason Ferguson on the future of the game to strengthen monitoring
World Snooker Association Jason Ferguson again attacked Chinese players who bet on football in an interview with Lei, he will take criminal crackdowns in the future, "We cannot tolerate such behavior to undermine snooker, it is undeniable that players have a moment of crisis, maybe there are various objective factors at that time, which cause them to need this risky behavior very much, and determine to take risks, so in our game, the implementation of the monitoring room is very important, we may also take criminal action in future cases." In this case of Chinese players, some of them acted beyond words, especially those senior players, who used the fragile psychology of those young players to agitate and achieve their own goals, and those players not only ruined themselves but also harmed others, and it was very necessary to ban them for life, which is the punishment they deserve. Anyone involved in manipulating the game can be criminally prosecuted, not just for Chinese players, but for every player
generally
In general, the Chinese player gambling case is an incident that shocked the audience, which also shows the moral dimension faced in the snooker world, and also exposes the disrespect of these players to sports, and the consequences are quite serious. This also shows that these players are not sportsmanship. There is no certain work ethic. The occurrence of this incident has attracted widespread attention, and it has also made another reminder to the sports world that no matter in any competition, there must be work ethic and awe.
