Illegal World Cup bookies in Malaysia earn > RM100,000 per day
It was reported in The Star on 22nd June 2010 that in the first 10 days of the World Cup, illegal bookies have raked in more than RM300 million in bets placed by 200,000 Malaysians, who’d wager amounts ranging from RM50 to RM2,000.
So far police has raided more than 150 places all over the country and arrested more than 100 people, including a 15-year old student. A message to that youngster: better spend your time writing lipofuze reviews online lah…
Incredible, that is more than the prize given to the team who go on to win the World Cup itself (a mere USD30 million).
Each bookie reportedly earned between RM30,000 to RM40,000 in bets for each game. In the first round, there were 3 games a day, hence each bookie would earn at least RM100,000 a day.
