Ok, beyond everything else, is that guy a complete idiot? Now he'll be watched and all the players he wants to get to throw matches are going to know he is being watched

From the article:

He created a program that predicted tennis results based on a player's style, current form and record on each surface. After a brief stint freelancing for Betfair's Russian marketing department and a failed attempt to create his own betting exchange, Mr. Avilov says he focused on posting his tennis picks online

I don't play predictions but some of you may be interested in getting a hold of his program... Or maybe the guy is already among us?

Can players....get in trouble or be held responsible...if they are approached and asked to fix a match by someone and not report it?

LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP)—French tennis player Mathieu Montcourt’s suspension for betting on matches has been reduced from eight to five weeks.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport said Thursday the 24-year-old Montcourt bet a total of $192 on 36 different tennis events, though not on his own matches or at tournaments where he was playing.

The CAS panel cites “the small amounts gambled (and) the absence of influence of the bets on the matches in question.”

The court ordered the 135th-ranked Montcourt to serve a ban of five weeks starting July 6, which would allow him to enter Wimbledon and the U.S. Open.

Montcourt appealed to CAS against the eight-week suspension imposed by the ATP Tour last August, which forced him to miss the U.S Open.
