Police have revealed they intend to allege that Sam Ayoub and John Elias placed a number of bets on the Cowboys Bulldogs game last year.
Ayoub allegedly placed two bets in Townsville worth $900 and Elias used TAB points at Rozelle and Haberfield on four separate occasions, making alterations to his appearance each time to place the bets.
Police believe Elias placed a total of $5250 worth of bets on the game on August 19.
The pair will go to court on April 7 to face charges of attempting to defraud a betting agency, and if found guilty could be jailed for up to 10 years.
