Some of the recent betting shenanigans have everyone spooked.
That includes UFC CEO Dana White, who would rather cancel a fight than have to deal with another phone call from the gaming integrity service that monitors real-time wagering.
Better take that phone off silent.
So what’s the difference between late action and suspicious betting?
“Abnormal betting patterns are generally flagged when we see high-volume, max-limit wagers from closely-monitored accounts,” BetOnline.ag Brand Manager, Dave Mason, told MMAmania.com. “Additionally, we’re also monitoring other respected sportsbooks so when we see odds rapidly changing across the board, it most likely indicates that they are taking similar irregular action.”
