Declan,

Did you catch this?

Tennis players are alleged to have thrown matches in order to clean up with
internet betting - and online gambling site Betfair is to open up its
records for the authorities to try and track down the players who have been
losing for cash.

... maybe online gambling does have some positive social benefits. :)

Gotta wonder what other fishy behavior a close perusal of this site would
reveal.

Thomas
