The Daily Star reveals that some punters are set to earn more than half a million pounds after a total bet of ?971 was staked via BetFair on Nikki to win at 1000-1 shortly after she was voted out of the house. […]

That “-Nikki”- was evicted, an later on re-instated in the game.
Hence, the questions about the traders who did bet on her, after her eviction. Did they “-know”- something that the other traders didn’-t?

BetFair employs many specialists in their “-integrity team”- to deal with such occurrences.
