WPBSA quick to act after suspicious betting pattern during Jimmy Michie match with Marcus Campbell

Snooker could be plunged into a new corruption scandal after bookmakers reported suspicious betting on Friday’s one-frame match between Jimmy Michie and Marcus Campbell at the inaugural World Shoot-out tournament in Blackpool.
