Since it is obvious race-fixing people who chose TGF to win should certainly not be given their prizemoney.

Interesting I was reading an article today about the risk of match fixing at the World Cup in South Korea and Japan. If they can get away with it in front of millions of people in Austria, what hope does FIFA have behind the scenes?

It's just bad luck if you bet money on Rubens. If it wasn't for the betting shop being closed on Friday evening I would have put a tenner on Rubens.
It's all very well to say after the race that it was fixed, blah blah blah but no one knows that before the race. |

The bookmaker Paddy Power are paying out on bets made on both Rubens and TGF as winner. That's a very praiseworthy thing to do. http://www.autosport.com/newsitem.cfm?id=18971&series=5

Anyway, a bet on Rubens to win was either the worst idea in the first place, or in fact betting on Schumacher DNF.

Credit to any bookmaker doing the right thing - they coud reasonably argue that the odds they give take into account not just the relative likelihood of a driver winning on merit, but also the chance of team orders coming into it. Rubens always has good odds, and this is one reason why!
