Match fixing

RE: Match fixing

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Honestly, I don't think so, steven. That is, I agree with you that the tennis fan is being hung out to dry because the ITF can't manage their own back yard. It pi*sses me off, on many levels.

But betting companies make money - that's why they do it. I don't think they're being taken to the cleaners.

And I don't think big betting will or can continue if there's no livescores. You need the volume that point by point betting gives.

By the way, there were two sites I found interesting, on different aspects of the issue:

Guess I am going to have to get my "roving reporters" hat out of the closet and keep you all updated with live scores directly. Anyone want to chip in on the traveling expenses ? wink

But of course, fake news and bad reporting means the similar sounding Portuguese player is being reported to have been banned.

There goes another one

Youssef Hossam banned for life for multiple match-fixing and corruption offences

"21-year old Egyptian ranked 820 ATP singles committed 21 breaches of anti-corruption rules "

"Egyptian tennis player Youssef Hossam has been banned from professional tennis for life following his conviction on multiple match-fixing and associated corruption charges."

Bet365 blocked odds and then removed every market on the Gabashvili doubles on 75 *01. Gaba then broken on 75 *43 and 75 56*. They won Champs tiebreak playing normal. Set 2 and breaks aver very suspicious to me considering how he played service games (see previous tweet).

Gabashvili played like this today in doubles, hitting 2 doubles faults on 75 *43 and these "shots"

More "shots" of Gabashvili yday, that from 2-0 first clearly played to lose 2-6 and then full effort again to win match easy. I wonder if he will ever be asked questions about this behaviour, relating it to bookmakers/BF market. That would be a surprising move by the new ITIA.

The serves and shots in the doubles do appear dubious.

And whilst we are at it. Kicker and Jarry both get wildcards for Cordoba

Jarry has apparently had his qualifying WC for Cordoba upgraded to a MD one now...two of the 3 WCs given out have gone to players suspended by the tour

And here is some more of Gabashvili in action

I think SC asked why I called him a cheat?
