Betfair have suggested that they noted “suspicious gambling patterns” on the night Ryan Giggs was crowned as Sports Personality of the Year. The online gambling company have suggested that while the odds were originally at 999-1 for the Manchester United sports star to receive the award, on the night of the announcement they had to slash the odds to 8-11 after betting fluctuations.
Tony Calvin, a spokesperson for Betfair, has suggested that the flurry of wagers proved to be “a very surprising gamble that came from left field and it's open to speculation what might have happened.” The BBC has denied that the information could have leaked; suggesting that they make sure the announcement is kept secret.
