I was sat by a bloke during the Federer/Tipsarevic match and as soon as the toss was made he left and somehow made a bet on the score in the 1st set.
He lost as it went to a tie-break but he bet for a 6-3/6-4 depending on who won the toss.
That makes sense. I don't suppose you can stop people doing that. |

I wouldn't of thought so. My guess is he made a bet via phone about 30 seconds after the live toss. |

Actually thinking about it, he probably made the call has he was walking out of Rod Laver so it was just a few seconds after the toss.

That's not exactly cheating really. It's just getting better odds.

It takes more than resilience to reach it!...heart

Em, good luck then although I thought it would be better if he preserved his health for the clay-court season.  |

Yet another Italian bannedFederico Luzzi has become the fifth Italian tennis player to be banned by the ATP for betting on matches.
The world number 139, who plays mainly on the challenger circuit, was found guilty of gambling on 836 matches.
Luzzi, 28, has been suspended for 200 days and fined US$500,000.

$500,000 is going to hurt big time for someone who only plays Challengers  |

I saw it on the news. Although they started the report by saying "Hingis who was been from the game after being tested positive for coccaine is playing at the Liverpool exhibition this year ...." What a way to advertise it  |

I said this months ago and got shot down. I said I thought Andy should give it a miss. Seems I'm not the only one who thinks this could give a huge advantage in the US.

Here's the thread Seems it wasn't a completely ridiculous idea after all. Seeing as Federer and Roddick seem to agree with me. We'll see how many more top names do by the time summer comes...
