After cricket, now Lawn Tennis.
Yes! authorities at Wimbeldon are searching into a possible match fixing that took place in an entry level match.
American player Wayne Odesnik lost straight sets to an Austrian player in an entry level match. The bettings in this match were unusually high and a company Betfair made $ 350,000.
What alarmed the authorities was that there were unusually high bettings for an entry level match. Betttings were as high as 1 million pounds; while usually in a match like this, bettings do not go above 10, 000 pounds.
This matter is still under investigation and yet to be completely proven?
Its sad to hear news like this, especially when it comes to Cricket and Lawn Tennis. I hope and I pray that all players in all sports keep their honesty and integrity above setting a price for selling their conscience.
