They did?Bookmakers William Hill may abandon betting on certain football matches next season, the BBC has been told.
Spokesman Graham Sharpe said the company may consider the move to prevent it becoming a victim of suspicious betting patterns. Industry insiders claim end-of-season matches with little at stake appear to be most vulnerable.
In April, a leading Irish bookmaker adopted a policy for suspending bets on this type of match.
Paddy Power suspended betting on virtually all end-of-season games in the Irish football league.They owe me a fortune in refunds, then.
A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.

Certainly one bookie did suspend betting on all Irish league games not involving Linfield or Glentoran (Not sure if PP did it too)
Plenty of bookies who accept bets on Serie B and below also stop for the lat couple of weeks.
Bookies making a business decision shouldn't be news for the BBC to publish though

Yeah, PP suspended it on the IL in last week as well except for the big two.
Still did ok on a Linfield/Glentoran double though
