There were four huge global gambles on Premiership games at the weekend.
Each gamble demonstrated a different manipulative structure, with associated insider trading.
Each went right down to the wire.
Late drama or what?
Only subscribers to Dietrological Professional will receive the extended post where we detail three of these gambling events in detail.
In this place we restrict ourselves to the glorious injury time winner by Nemanja Vidic for Manchester United against Sunderland on Saturday evening.
This game was the fourth most liquid Premiership market of the season to date (behind three matches involving Chelsea, unsurprisingly).
And the bookmakers were on the wrong end of it.

Following the resignation of the Great Man on Thursday, the markets were a one-way dynamic of largely amateur money.
When Vidic went mental, so did legions of leisure punters all across the planet.
And, to make matters even more thoroughly enjoyable, the goal represented the completion of multitudes of mug accumulator bets, as United followed the other members of the Big 4 into the winning enclosure.
Cue - abject misery in the trading rooms :)
Firstly, lets deal with Keano.
Our team of traders very closely analyse all matches in the territories that we monitor - or, rather, we pay out so that some poor 2nd World individuals monitor the events on our behalf.
We are all forced to be capitalists...
After gaining promotion, the Sunderland outfit have not had the rub of the green, shall we say.
Indeed, when we put together our Real Premiership table just two matches ago, based on non-manipulated match outcomes, Sunderland stood in 12th place, level on points with tenth-placed Newcastle.
If Sunderland had not had so many match decisions go against their interest, Keane would not have been under pressure - promotion/ survival/ mid-table being a solidly progressive template.
Instead, a highly promising manager is hounded out.
Keane has been Mike Newelled!

The Premier League, the PGMOB, the Murdochracy (both screen and tabloid versions) have all targeted Sunderland.
£70 million spent and a relegation battle!!!
Is Keane losing the plot?
Reality has been altered into Hyperreality.
Apart from Keane, one has to assess the other reasons why Sunderland might be targeted by the powers-that-be.

Anyway, the match itself was heavily controlled.
It looked waterproof which, being Manchester, was probably a good thing.
We have no intention of discussing which of our favourite match manipulators were on the case at Old Trafford on Saturday - that's one of the problems of having too many conversations with lawyers.
But, as the match entered injury time, the bookmakers were grinning.
Big style.
My Asian broker was going bananas! He'd hedged!!
Then Pinball Wizard Nemanja Vidic restored some semblance of Reality, briefly, as a Proper Outcome was achieved despite the very best efforts of those who might wish otherwise.
Pity about the matches at ########################################## hyperreally...
