HandbollsKanalen.se hatte vor einem Jahr eine ganze Serie von Artikeln zum Thema Spielmanipulationen im Handball veröffentlicht. Darunter ist auch ein Beitrag zu Sportsradar, in dem diese erklären, was es aus ihrer Sicht bedeutet, wenn sie ein Spiel als auffällig reporten.
Zitat“We not only see odds movements, but we see the exact amounts that are invested and where they are invested. What amount is placed and when. To give an example, we can see something about a match and then contact the Swedish Handball Association and tell them what happened and through which betting company the money was invested. Then SHF and the betting company can talk and contact the police to start an investigation.”
Zitat“It’s like an alarm on your house. It protects your doors, your windows and your basement so that no one breaks in. But just like you have seen on film, there are no perfect alarm systems and that is where we come into the picture. If we discover a suspicious match, we are always 110 per cent sure that it has been manipulated. In other words, if you read somewhere that Sportradar has discovered a manipulated match, you can be 110 per cent sure that it has been fixed. It’s just the tip of the iceberg.”
“The system is structured in such a way that it does not go wrong. It cannot go wrong, otherwise, our credibility would go down the drain.”
