Betfair, known to be as a force in the world of sports betting, has alerted tennis corruption investigators about some unusual betting patterns in the match between a USA tennis player, Wayne Odesnik and Jurgen Melzer from Austria. Betfair received approximatelly 980,000 dollars in the match’s bets.
Mark Davies footballer said in an interview that it is being reported as a potential corruption, but he doesn’t see that way at all. He also added that he doesn’t think that there was done something wrong.
He explained all the matter saying that during the match’ running, someone said that Odesnik had a thigh injury, effectively shortening Melzer’s odds. With all these, Melzer has won the match.
ESPN affirmed that I don’t have any injury. I called a trainer after the 1st set when I felt something in my hamstring. He put hot cream on it during the chageover. I have never called an inury timeout. It went away. But the trainer and all of people waited a game and asked me and I said everything was fine.
However, it has not affected the match’s outcome.”, continuing to say that it has no injury.
