Ever seen something so ridiculous?

Geez - really? Suspend betting? Somone knows something? Give me a break - you're accepting free money their mate - why turn off the tap?
Actually - now that I think about it I guess they could do a Canterbury Bulldogs circa 2002 - and so this is actually free money for whoever placed the best.
Interesting - but will they be stripped of enough points?

Daily Telegraph said:
A LEADING bookmaker has suspended betting on the NRL wooden spoon after fielding several wagers on premiers Melbourne Storm to finish last.
Title favourites Melbourne are currently fourth on the NRL ladder after four wins and two losses and have been the subject of a salary cap investigation.
"We took three bets to win $10,000 and another to win $8000 for the Storm to win the wooden spoon all within 10 minutes of each other this morning," said Sportingbet Australia spokesman Bill Richmond.
"You don't take a series of bets like that unless someone knows something and we have suspended betting on the wooden spoon as a result.
"Melbourne is now our worst result for the wooden spoon despite the fact they are premiership favourites."
