The very big leagues.

The goblin pocketed the list of teams that needed “support” a plan already setting in motion to accomplish as much.

“Go on then. Say something to have made your interruption worth more than flobberworm dung to my ears.” Could he?

His dark eyes scanned the wandwaver. A slight twitch of the nose indicated he was searching for any hidden gold. It didn't take him long to estimate how much could be hidden in pockets.

Go on and speak then, wandwaver. They were vaguely listening.

Well, weren't they rude? Jack resisted the urge to snort. It wasn't like he had never dealt with Goblins before, but apparently American Goblins weren't as graceless as their European counterparts. But rudeness or not, now was the time to put his venture out on the table. Besides, he was running out of time.

"I know a guy, who knows a guy, who can fix the game," he offered up. Who the guy was didn't matter. How the guy did it might matter. But all that mattered to Jack was he wanted a part of the profits if the Goblins were going to use his inside information on the final match. He had planned on running his own betting ring, but since the Goblins had one established already - why not just dip in?

"For, say....30% of your profits, I will let you in on the details."
