A tennis match between Richard Bloomfield and Christophe Rochus last month had an unusual amount wagered on it according to Betfair. More than 1 million pounds ($1.5 million) and a dramatic price movement have tennis officials investigating. This is about 15-20 times the normal amount wagered on similar matches at this level. Bloomfield is ranked 552 in the world and Rochus 160. Before the match they were even money but in a few hours Bloomfield went to 1-4 odds which is a dramatic shift and risk to gamblers. The player everyone bet on, Bloomfield did end up winning this match.
