You got a definate response that they are investigating ? If the result will be changed or cancelled after they also do not refund ? As if the authorities decide there was a non-sport behaviour included from what I know at Bookmakers ( even Asia bookies ) usually refund all bets placed, no matter won or lost. But I saw the market was settled already therefore no idea how they handle.

I'm not sure how things work Frey

2 years ago, I got seriously caught on a Russian Cup Match - it was a lower division side playing at home to Terek Grozni. Terek were 1.80 pre-match, but within the last hour steamed in to 1.25

All the bookies took their prices down & I lost £700 with Betfair. They accepted unusual activity on this match, but a refund of bets never appeared

Ok interesting, just wondering what's in their terms regarding such a case, will check that in case they really admit it was unusual betting pattern.

Definately this game was fishy, many crazy drifts were around during the last years but not as strange as today with the market moving exactly upside down to the points being scored.

Tennis is one of the most corrupt sport. most of Europe `s sporting authorities are investigating for years a group of people called the HOLE GANG which is rooted in the sports much more than what the authorities believe are. The only reason why many investigations are held in complete secret is to protect somehow the integraty of the sports it self. Same thing happens every days on Horse racing but no1 ever mention a single thought about it or if they did only because it`s on the news. 600 football matches were investigated in europe in 2009 for match fixing but, it`s believed that 1/3 were actually fixed and only 10% of it were in major leagues. I can guarantee you that if you lost money on that tennis match you would not get a refund. Betfair won`t give up their profits for the integraty of sports but, they will send to authorities the betting patterns and their concerns. That would be it. You have a small % that you are going to hear about this match in future. you will see.

I notice an irate Scott Ferguson has plenty to say on this match on his blog

A shameful episode for Tennis, but the ATP seem pathetically reticent not to tarnish the image of the game by bringing matches like this into the open. Only the betting fraternity notices these 'fixes', so as long as the sponsors don't, they are happy to sweep things under the carpet
