Rodgers ‘had more than a dozen secret Betfair accounts’

PROFESSIONAL gambler Miles Rodgers was suspected of having more than a dozen secret accounts with an internet betting firm, the Kieren Fallon trial was told yesterday.

Rodgers used the names of friends and acquaintances to place bets on horses to lose, the Old Bailey heard.

But betting exchange Betfair began monitoring the accounts and passed information to the Jockey Club after large sums were placed on Legal Set, a horse Rodgers part-owned.
