NSW:4th NRL betting accused denies charges

The fourth man charged over the NRL betting scandal has pleaded not guilty to trying
to dishonestly obtain almost 50 thousand dollars.

The pleas were entered by GREGORY ADAM TAIT'S lawyer today in Sydney's Downing Centre
Local Court.

38-year-old TAIT is charged with attempting to dishonestly obtain a financial advantage
from betting agency Centrebet on August 20 last year, the day before a match between the
Bulldogs and North Queensland.

He's is charged with the same offence against the New Zealand Racing Board.

Police have alleged TAIT placed bets on the first scoring option in the match, and
arranged for a woman in New Zealand to place bets on the same scoring option on his behalf.

Magistrate JANE CULVER adjourned the matter to October 20 at the same court.
