Guardian: Virgin Media staff caught in The X Factor betting scam.
Three Virgin Media employees have been caught using inside information on telephone voting patterns during last year's series of The X Factor to place more than £16,000 in bets on the hit ITV1 show.

IMO, the show's a scam anyway.

A Bookmaker complaining about people using inside information? Pots and kettles come to mind.

Re: Guardian: Virgin Media staff caught in The X Factor betting scam.
It amazes me how stupid some people can really be, to make so many bets, its going to flag up.
Atleast VM acted correctly and dealt with the situation in a good manner.
