Check out the spelling of Corrie Sanders on the bustling oddschecker site. This is what cost a punter big-style last year when he placed a bet thinking it was American Corey "T-Rex" Sanders, as opposed to the giant South African. I was sceptical at the time, but now I know the punter was wronged.

OTOH, it's every punter's duty to know who's fighting, even if the bookie doesn't. Caveat bettor. ;)
