Viaplay had marked the tie match on Stryktipskupongen as the second after 13.00.
A bang that happened later.
Now Svenska Spel gives an explanation of the strange pictures.
They seized the opportunity, says Staffan Renstrom, Stryktipset’s production director.
This strange event happened during the Premier League broadcast on Saturday.
When the Stryktips Tour was introduced today, the match between Coventry and Huddersfield, which was due to be drawn, was scheduled for a second – barely three hours before injury time.
– What, did you already draw it? “Because I don’t have second place there,” Bojan Djordich said on the air.
– No, it may not have been painted yet, answered Jennifer Kochuxlan.
When the score was presented next, it was very much drawn to second place, which was a shocking score of only 23% of the cutoff.
The whole thing caused viewers and players to start speculating if there was some kind of trick behind it all. Did Viaplay already know the outcome three hours before the hiatus?
Explanation of pictures
No, they don’t, says Staffan Renstrom in charge of production at Stryktipset.
– Perhaps it was Viaplay who took a chance or invented something. We won’t know the result until after 4pm, he says and continues:
– At 16.00.48 we got the result and at 16.45 we got it.
So, Viaplay did not receive the result in advance?
– no no no. It’s strict, we can’t release anything before and we don’t know anything before. There are safety measures built into the Gambling Inspectorate as well. Reinstrom says he printed it wrong and it so happened to be right.
Sportbladet is looking for Viaplay.
