As far as the article goes, and the possible spoilers contained therein, I'm strongly inclined 
to believe it.

You are a punter working in a printers or a bookbindery for not much scratch at all.   You like to bet as a hobby, and you know that bookmakers are running lines on everything these days.   You figure, hey, take a peek and place fifty quid on a sure thing.  That's not a leak, is it?  Actually, it's not a leak at all.  [snip potential winnings]  

A true leak, such as the one punishable by the $3,000,000, is stealing pages and selling them to the Daily Mirror.   Taking a peak and running a flutter on that sure thing, then bragging to your mates down the pub about it is not really a leak per se, in the mind of your average working class Yorkshireman.

also a good point and not just for the average working class Yorkshireman.  Also seems likely to me.
