Jon Moss ... who let play carry on until Everton scored yesterday, and sent off a Southampton player. Why might he do that? Well there's a bit fo evidence surrounding him, his record, his past - and his particular biases.

Mr Moss has a relationship with leading agent and professional gambler John Colquhoun which stretches back over two decades to their time together as players at Sunderland.

Prior to the re-establishment of themselves as a Premier League team, WBA had Jon Moss as referee on 7 occasions from 2005/06 onwards.

West Brom won all 7 matches with 7 penalties or sendings off in their favour and none against - this stretches to 11 in favour and none against if the EPL era included. Moss is still to give a penalty or sending off against the Albion in 18 events in total since 2005/06.

Which team benefited yesterday by Everton equalising?

You guessed it, West Brom were relegated otherwise, and still will be in all likelihood, but Jon Moss did all he could, bless him.

Of course, it's illegal to study officials when you support a club, or work on a club forum, because other stats analysts just dismiss it as bias - without doing any research themselves, of course.

Let's go further, and look at the patterns spotted in terms of gambling, volume of bets, and Jon Moss' 'involvement'...

"The Premier League match between Manchester City and Tottenham was only the second match in the EPL era that has had 4 penalties and a sending off in the game - 3 of the penalties and the sending off were in favour of the Mancunians."

In the period from KO-60m to KO-40m, 10 bets between £10K and £50K resulted in over £350,000 being traded on Man City at Betfair (over 27% of the total book at the time).

This chart might be compared with £840,000 volume between KO-53m and KO-33m on the Manchester United v Crystal Palace game mentioned in the above post which represented 30% of the volume traded at Betfair at that time.
This match was also officiated by Mr Moss.

11 of these matches which have experienced particularly suspect betting patterns that positively correlate with match biases/decisions during the game...

(the list of matches below displays match, percentage dynamics in window, the window in minutes measured from the kick off, key match decisions and the outcome).

All 11 market positions were replicated in the match outcomes.

All 11 matches showed marked volume dynamics in restricted 10-20 minute windows between KO-60mins and KO-30mins. In the 11 matches, 11 penalties/sendings off were in favour of the market positions. There are 5 further events over the last two seasons that are suspicious.

Who knows what all of this means?
Who knows if Moss is a lone-wolf?
Who knows why NONE of the mainstream media ever investigates these things?
Clearly some professional gamblers, with plenty of cash at stake, have noticed something, and the WBA stats STINK.
