IOC to monitor Olympic gambling

-

The Internatio­nal Olympic Committee has chosen a London-based firm to watch for suspicious gambling on the Games. Genius Sports’ Sports Integrity Monitor service will use data from regulated and unregulate­d betting markets, looking for anything unusual that might suggest match-fixing. It will report trends in real time to sport-governing bodies. Betting on the Rio Olympics will draw about $1 billion in legal and illegal bets globally.
