Or how serious the crackdown will be regarding match fixing and wagering on tennis. Also, I was unaware that tennis is the second most bet on sport for British bookmakers (football (soccer) being number #1).
The rise of online gambling and in-play betting has seen turnover on tennis betting rise to billions of pounds every year.
Only football generates more business for Britain’s bookmakers and betting exchanges as punters have latched on to the multiple and quick-fire opportunities presented by tennis
