The pool was certainly manipulated because of his bet, whether there was an ulterior motive or not. I don't believe it was just a honest change of mind though but thats almost irrelevant in terms of protecting the betting public, which does not seem that important in this business.
Think this cuts to the heart of the issue. People should be able to cancel and all, but this situation gets into an arena that violates the spirit of that largess and simply deflates the wagering public's confidence/interest.
