Hi everyone.
I'm new to this forum and I hope this is the right section for this thread.
I'm following the match Broady vs Goffin now live on BBC sport ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/tennis/32625326 )
I noticed this guy among the crowd and I'm wandering if he's trading.
What do you think?
Thanks,
Stephan
Is this guy trading?

Thank you for your replies.
I noticed that, most of the time in tennis matches, the price changes few seconds before any of my live feed. I did a research in this very forum and I came across the word "courtsider" for the first time. I'm not familiar with the rules in this matter so I decided to ask.
You think that at Wimbledon this can't happen but still I see that the price reacting bloody fast.
How this can happen?
Thank you,
Stephan

True, on one hand I've heard (might have been a blog link via this forum) of people using push button clickers in their pockets for corners etc at football matches.Kai wrote:Highly unlikely, courtsiders are a lot less obvious and much more organized than the guy in this picture.
On the other hand, he could have an open graph/bar chart/other thing so looks like a statistical team member. Also having an open Skype chat in the background, audio will pick up the announcer "A Leads 4 games to 2, 2nd set, B to serve." Then a tap of 1 for Ace or 2 for not-Ace/2nd serve could still look like updating a chart/graph, and also give the other Skype person near instant info.
Just my quick overview of how I'd first try overcome the security/authorities if I was doing it in Qatar or that. If it was Wimbledon I'd be looking for the free booze and rich millionairesses to marry
One of the tennis courtsiders wrote a book recently so perhaps you can check that out, if you're really interested in that subject
