They are reason for tennis fixes, what other sports will be fixed because of Betfair? Any other book it would not be possible or with it to fix a tennis match because of limits.

Great post coach!
What is simply very annoying is that whenever there is an unusual betting pattern on BetFair the match will be declared corrupt. Simply completely outrageous.Comment -
I don't think that's outrageous at all.Comment -
crazyl would cleanup on the tennis there.Comment -
Seems to me this is the best way for them to track match fixing. Why would they eliminate their best tool? I really don't think it would be wise of the authorities to do so.Comment -
So if the public (through BetFair) decides that some tennis player should be 100-1, then as soon as he wins, the other player may have faked the match?Originally posted by fiveteamer
It will be very good the moment a player stands up and refuses to start a match claiming that he does not agree on the chances the bookies and BetFair give him.Comment -
Its quite obvious to point out tennis fixes through betfair
Your example is extreme.Comment -

your example is not only a bit extreme, it's also totally off. in a fixed match a guy that should be traded at, say, 4/1, is trading 1/4.Originally posted by acw
if in a fixed match some tennis player trades at a 100-1, his opponent, the one that's tanking the match, has obviously done a terrible job securing any kind of profit, not backing down his opponent.Comment -
it's unusual betting patterns that make a game (sometimes rightfully) suspect, not unusual long underdogs winning (like in your example).Originally posted by acwComment -
Betfair is the best way to spot tennis fixes. You have 3452353245 first round matches with 10k bet on them, and then one with half a million. Surprise surprise, the latter produces a shock result.
The authorities know this, but there's next to no way to prove it.Comment -
Dunno if someone can help me here, I had £10 on Monfils to win Wimbledon (was going to lay it off hoping he'd won a few games). Today, they announced he's withdrawn from Wimbledon without playing a game, I checked my statement and they counted it as a loss.
I also had £200 on Guccione to beat Monfils in the first round. Check my statement today, and they have voided the bets! I don't understand why they would void this bet, yet still take my money on Monfils winning Wimbledon. Seems like double standards, can anyone help me find the right rules relating to it?Comment -
first best is a loss, 2nd you should get a refund, no?Comment -
I've got the refund. I just don't get why one is considered void before he's played, and not the other one.Comment -
the first one is a prop, just like derby futures, all bets have action. doesn't matter if they start or not.Comment -
before placing a bet, try to actually read the rulebook of the book or exchange you are using, especially on tennis because rules can differ a lot. non-participants count for bets on outrights, withdrawals before one full set is played make matchbets go void.Originally posted by woodg8
this info is even listed quite clearly in the market-screen under "Rules"Comment -
