Elgin City striker Kane Hester and three others deny defrauding a betting firm of more than £13,500.
A Scottish league player admitted match fixing to help friends make almost £14,000 in bets, a jury has heard.
He denies backing himself to get booked during a match against Hibs as part of a scheme with three others.The court was shown messages sent between the accused men after the pay out in which they celebrated by saying: "I'm rich. Welcome to candyland."Det Supt Brian Bennie told the court Hester had immediately confessed his involvement during an early morning raid and led them to a bag with £2,400 cash in his bedroom.
Hester said he believed he was given £2,000 for getting booked and also got £400 back that he had previously loaned Parrott."I wouldn't say I felt threatened - because they are friends - but I felt pressured."
