Despite the first-round games appearing to be played live when they were broadcast on ESPN and ESPN 2, they were actually pre-recorded. “It became clear that somebody knew something, and that the results had been leaked,” David Strauss, head oddsmaker at MyBookie.ag, told Reuters. “That’s a nightmare scenario for us. When a result is compromised, we close the lines and look for the info ourselves. It’s almost always in the forums or on Twitter.”
