"normal procedures"?

normal procedures except when a top 5 player is involved and they smell a massive publicity stunt (see Davydenko v MV Arguello)

Huh, they have - it was under the service headline, not tennis.

More specific: Lodra up 4-1 first set, odds at betfair dropping quickly on Gasquet from 1.75 to 1.6 during the break. Odds offered at different bookies about 1.7-1.73 odds at betfair 1.6, something wrong?

Llodra now took an injury break but that was two games later så no one could have known about that injury at 4-1.

I choose to get out of this now (green out) these were the odds after first set 6-3 to Llodra. Interpret as you wish.

Gasquet - Llodra
Betfair: 1.85 - 2.14
Bet365: 2.25 - 1.57

It's a tough match to price up with Gasquet playing awful and Llodra injured. Of course Gasquet is going to be shorter at betfair as they have a different retirement rule to Betfair.

As I had no side in the game it really doesn't matter to me but why not fix?

Actually it seems like a very easy way to get away with a fixed game, playing your best for a couple of games/first set and then calling trainer (setting up the retirement). Start playing like shit. Retire.
