Club statement: WE ARE CURRENTLY LIAISING WITH A SUPPORTER WHO ENCOUNTERED A SPOT CHECK FROM COMSEC WITH REGARDS TO UNAUTHORISED DATA GATHERING AT SATURDAY’S SKY BET CHAMPIONSHIP FIXTURE AGAINST READING AT THE KCOM STADIUM. Comsec are hired by Football Data Co to monitor the collection and distribution of Official Data. On request from the EFL the Club accredited Comsec to do spot checks at yesterday’s match. We are currently working with the Superstadium Management Company, Comsec and the EFL to understand how this check was handled, and to understand how we can improve the Comsec Data Scouts Enforcement Programme at our stadium, and ultimately therefore the supporter experience moving forward.
I suppose the 'scout' kid wil be chuffed, box well and truly ticked, as he is seen to be doing his job by his employer. Going forward, surely the optimum solution is a fleet of data drones hovering above the crowd scanning punters for suspicious activity? It can only be a matter of hours now before HDM get on this story.
Interesting that Vicky didn’t seem to know anything about it yesterday but the club statement says the EFL asked them in advanced. Break down of communication perhaps?
according to the HDM, Hull City will be talking to the Stadium Management Company about it - ie, Ehab will be having a word with Ehab to find out which one of him ****ed up
In play odds are constantly fluctuating. If the bookies do not have direct information from the ground they are dependent on media reporting. As such there will be a delay in the market odds changing on an event. Red card for example. Internet exchanges let you both back and lay. If you are at the game monitoring the markets, an opportunity may arise to profit. Just remembered, I think it was a thread on here about a bet on the number of yellow cards. The poster was present when the "winning" yellow card was shown. The bookies not only received delayed information but incorrect, and called the bet lost. Long story short, the poster got his winnings eventually.
Spooky.... "5 minutes ago notohulltigers like the bit about Hull City liaising with the Stadium Management Company about the incident - Ehab talking to Ehab about it "
Sacked for doing his job? It is the job that shouldn't have been there in the first place.He wasn’t employed by City so they have no say.
there's ways and ways to do jobs, for a start. for a second, some jobs shouldn't exist, as you say. there are people working for highly dodgy car parking companies (such as ncp and such as many others nobody has ever heard of) who are sneaky underhanded parasitical cheating bastards working for sneaky underhanded parasitical cheating bastard companies who should all be sacked and then set on fire and then shot, particularly any of them who have ever clamped a vehicle. the bloke who was being threatened with ejection from the ground had no way of knowing the t**t had no authority to chuck him out, if true.
