The FA is looking into suspicious betting patterns around a yellow card shown to an Arsenal player in a Premier League match this season. A significant amount of money was bet on the outcome. Spot-fixing is a problem for bookmakers as punters can win large amounts on seemingly innocuous aspects of a game. Matt Le Tissier tried to fix a match in his autobiography. In 2010, Pakistan cricket team was involved in spot-fiddling. Bradley Wood was banned for six years for deliberately picking up cautions during Lincoln City's FA Cup run. Hampshire police investigated but didn't take any action.
