A BETTING controversy has marred the naming of basketball superstar Lauren Jackson as the Australian team's flag-bearer at the opening ceremony.
Jackson, a three-time Women's NBA Most Valuable Player with Seattle Storm, was a popular choice among athletes, sports fans and even punters, with betting suspended on the identity of the flag-bearer following a spectacular plunge of wagers on the 31-year-old. Jackson opened at 30-1 in betting and was back into 1-2 odds-on before bookmakers Sportsbet stopped betting on the outcome. Team chef de mission Nick Green played down talk of an investigation into the apparent leak through social media and said only a few people within his organization knew about the choice.
