Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

I don’t know anything about betting but can anyone tell me why, what he did, is illegal?

He's basically told people or been persuaded by people to deliberately get a yellow card. It's called spot fixing and is illegal.

On the other side of the coin, there will have been punters who had no idea he was cheating that would have lost money because he was booked.

Spot fixing is rife in football, particularly in the asian betting markets if rumours are to be believed.

From what I can gather, friends/relatives of his bet heavily on him getting booked in a particular game where that happened. The betting patterns were suspicious and the foul itself looked pretty unnecessary. Think it’s going to be hard for him to get out of it.

It’s like insider trading. They couldn’t even bet on a league 2 game because of the rules and they could have inside knowledge. If what this bellend has supposed to have done is true and got booked deliberately it’s the equivalent of match fixing.
