Whenever a huge upset occurs, everyone immediately suspects something fishy. I for one do not suspect these matches are fixed...otherwise I would be an idiot to wager on them. Yes...it may be possible to pay off a player outside the Top 50 to tank a match but I cannot believe a Top 10 or Top 20 player would take a dive and jeopardize their reputation if they were exposed. Yes...strange line movement occurs on a regular basis but I don't think this is definitive evidence that a match is fixed. What are your thoughts?

It is not definitive, but there are certain cases where something is definitely up.
There were two obscure guys in a first round match last week and betfair had 1.3 million traded on it. The next day with the same person who won it was like $300.
