Adivinar pronunciation

On this website the audio pronunciation and video pronunciation use a particularly English "v" sound for the word "adivinar." Why is this? Am I missing something?

The letter "b" or "v" between vowels has a sound very close to English "v."
In Phonetics the "b" or 'v" between vowels is called a "bilabial fricative."

Thank you, Daniela. I recognize these 3 rules. The pronunciation in question simply sounds too much like an English V to fit the 3rd rule. - gatso48, Dec 6, 2016
I just separate the two sounds. I think learning Portuguese did that to me, but Dominicans and Chileans told me that they are separate letters with separate sounds. Granted, they aren't the RAE. Despite all this, great answer Daniela! - codyandrews1993, Dec 6, 2016
Dani, when you grow up with these pronunciations you don´t always know the rules, so it´s good to see them written - they work perfectly! - 005faa61, Dec 6, 2016
I grew up as well with these pronunciations a well. I had to learn the rules for teacher preparation. - Daniela2041, Dec 7, 2016
