Wait... People Bet On Tennis?

The only reason we'd have a story about a tennis match at the Luxembourg Open is if... well, here's the deal. There was a first-round match with U.S. Open finalist Caroline Wozniacki, and she was leading 7-5, 3-0 when her father told her that she should retire from the match due to injury because she was too hurt to play in the next round anyway. And, well, the mic was open, people heard him say it (in Polish), and suddenly there was an online run to bet on her to lose. Sure enough, at 5-0, she retired. And the WTA is investigating. I did not know you could bet on a sporting event already in progress, but I guess you can do that.
