Educated Bet – The Science of Sports Betting

RUSSIAN ATHLETES MUST BE ON THEIR GAME WHEN PLAYING IN RUSSIA !

I came across this article out of Winnipeg, Canada. No it’s not about Winnie The Pooh.

It appears that Russian tennis player, Nikolay Davydenko, while playing in the St.Petersburg Open was rebuked by the chair umpire for not playing hard enough, thus receiving a behaviour warning.

Betfair, an online sports book , voided bets on a match involving the Russian in August. Although sports book rules are such that they reserve the right to void any wager, for any reason, when they deem it to be appropriate.

There is no proof the tennis player threw the match !

I don’t think it is fair to void a bet ! This rule goes all the way back to the grade school playground a , bet is a bet
