Tennis Matches Fixed?

wait, so please tell what happened. There was 7 mil bet on the match, all against the underdog and the davydenko wins 1st set and then defaults because of a foot injury down 2-1 in the 3rd?

so was he is on the fix and took a dive to make some money or what?

or did the betters just know he was injured before the match and thought he would default?

because if davydenko is found to be taking a dive, wouldn't this be a serious thing?

The odds were way too obviously abnormal so Betfair rightly voided the market. During live play, Davydenko wins first set and yet the market is still heavy on the underdog opponent. WTF.

Have you ever seen a WR or QB get knocked upside the head and think 'he's coming out?'

Or an MLB pitcher take one off the hand?

Or a boxer ahead on points getting beat up late?

If [and I say only if] Davy had a known injury that one could see was bothering him, it makes perfect sense to bet the other way. If not, then I agree with you.
