It is not this simple, more often I would say it is the bettor that causes the problems. By this I mean, he will be called, the caller will be waiting for him to show his cards, but he doesn't. He will just kind of sit there and wait for you to show, or maybe indicate that he thinks his hand is no good and therefore wants you to show first. Usually the caller will oblige and show his hand for whatever reason, and it probably saves more problems than it causes rather than forcing him to show his hand first.
Though in a serious game I always force the bettor to show his hand first when I am the caller, for the info of his hand if nothing else.
