Suspicious Tennis Betting
Posted on June 17th, 2009 No commentsSome of top online bookmakers suspended betting on a tennis match involving Spain’s Oscar Hernandez and Austria’s Daniel Köllerer on Monday.
Both players were priced as 5-6 joint-favourites, but bookmakers saw a surge of money just before the start for Hernandez that pushed his price in to 1-5 favourite. Hernandez won 6-3, 6-2.
William Hill and Ladbrokes stopped trading this match after they noticed “unusual” money. Unibet and Expekt mentioned they stopped taking bets before or early in the match. Betfair noticed the same trend, but did not stop trading.
The tennis authorities have already launched an investigation into this match.

Posted on June 9th, 2009 No commentsFormer World Number 1 and seven-time Grand Slam champion Mats Wilander has signed as Expekt tennis ambassador. Mats is a big TV profile with Eurosport and current Davis Cup captain for Sweden. He will start to work for Expekt at Wimbledon.
“I will do analysis and predictions on the big tournaments and be the face of Expekt.com in tennis, I am really looking forward to this,” said Wilander.
Expekt already works with some big names as its ambassadors such as Zibi Boniek in Poland, Fredi Bobic in Germany and Glenn Strömberg in Sweden.
“We will have plenty of surprises coming up and our customers will for example be able to play tennis against Mats Wilander when they take part in a contest during the summer. We are preparing for an exciting summer and year for our customers with Mats Wilander onboard. We are truly proud to have signed him,” said Dan Vikman, PR Manager at Expekt.
