I checked out the Kremlin Cup and put a couple of small bets against a couple of Russians who I think would be great canidates to throw the match today. It's played in Russia and you can't run from the mob there:
Nikolay Davydenko against Alex Bogomolov Jr who was +220. I saw the match and Davydenko missed some easy shots. At times, it looked like he didn't even care. He loses the 1st set 7-5 and was down 4-1 in the second set. I guess to make it look legit, he came back to tie things up at 4-4 and proceeded to lose the next 2 games and lost.
Then there was Andrey Kuznetsov against Carlos Berlocq who was +155. Kuznetsov is ranked 75th in the world and he was -180 against 49th ranked Berlocq. This is his first match on hard courts this year. I also watched this match. Kuznetsov won the first set easily 6-1. After that, I bet you would get great odds on Berlocq winning the match. In the 2nd set, all of a sudden, Kuznetsov starts hitting the ball long, out of bounds, etc. etc. Berlocq is now on his game and he wins the next 2 sets and wins the match.
This could've been a coincidence or maybe the matches were somehow rigged. I don't care if they fixed matches, I just wish they tell me which side to play. )
