TBH it isn't hidden though Betfair, Bet365 bascially all the betting sites offer session betting.
if Anything I believe Betfair is the number 1 website or the service they use for the betting.
I believe a lot of the illegial betting in india on cricket is been done by VPN and having online betting accounts.
Betfair is certainly huge though compare the numbers of an untelevised cricket game and a televised cricket game and it is shocking, especially english county games.
all the betting is open.
betting companies are meant to give information to the authorities if they suspect someone always placing the same bet or odd betting patterns, but not sure it is possible to be very effective in the long run, impossible to know what bet are real and something that is dodgy plus would they really want it to be stopped when they making money on it as well.
they probably only going to flag it up when it becomes so obvious and they are losing money on it.
