    Obvious ITF Fix is Obvious

    A nice article about the recent fix in the match between Westerhof and Van der Duim:

    ed: Ok, it was a challenger actually. Anyway, still interesting.

    Blatant fix.

    Also I have seen Boy fix other matches before too but not that familiar with Van der Duim. I think when I first signed up here, I may have made a post regarding a match where Boy threw a match when he was up. I was new to tennis betting at the time though so wasn't aware that he was a potential fixer.

    Also in regards to fixing, I know a lot of ppl cry fix just because they lose a bet. Here we can see what an actual fix does to the lines whereas majority of the fixes ppl complain about here show no line movements whatsoever.

    Although of course possible I don't see enough proof there.
    Westerhof loses a lot. http://tennis.matchstat.com/Player/Boy%20Westerhof
    He could be throwing matches, this wouldn't be the only one.
    It doesn't take both players to collude, of course.. I don't know how
    much stock to put into the dollar figures dw is posting, and how much those
    reflect the actual total market on the match.. but if you look at the dollar amounts
    posted during the live match they are only in the hundreds or less of euros. That is
    a thin market and may have been boosted by Westerhof bettors hedging.

    Btw these two play doubles together and known each other for years now for those unconvinced its a fix.

    They wouldve been both in it to get the 2-1 set scoreline and its obvkous cause the odds on that score was far too low

    How could anyone possibly be unconvinced it's a fix after reading that article?

    IMO Westerhof has an SBR account and posts as Snowball.
