Fines Still a Threat

The Tennis Integrity Unit is currently investigating the WTA Tour tennis match between Caroline Wozniacki and Anne Kremer because of rapid changes in betting that took place while the game was happening and cost online casino bookmakers a lot of money. The situation occurred because Wozniacki, the odds-on winner of the match, was up on the first set in the match and part way through winning the second set when her father was caught on international television telling her to quite the game now in the hopes of not needlessly injuring her hamstring injury. The comment rippled through the betting industry as punters used in-game betting statistics at the online casinos and internet betting sites to alter their bets to reflect Kremer as the likely winner.

Wozniacki heeded her father’s advice and dropped out of the match even though she was the likely winner of the match. Her father noted that even though she could press the injury and win the match she would be unable to compete in the subsequent match so she should just forfeit the match. Punters who understood the father’s in-game advice flocked to the online casinos and wagered huge sums on Kremer, even though she was close to losing the match. The Tennis Integrity Unit is now investigating the match to ensure that Wozniacki did not purposefully throw the match for ulterior financial motives.

The Tennis Integrity Unit seems to share the same conclusion as the rest of the world, including the online casino betting sites – it was just a tough break for the companies. Wozniacki appears to have honestly made the decision to end the match during the game. But the Tennis Integrity Unit has now noted that it may still impose fines on Wozniacki for an apparent “lack of effort.” A move that would certainly cause an uproar in the tennis industry as it would imply Wozniacki should have instead played the game and risked injury.
