BB 9th Eviction market... Betfair should

I'd be very happy.... but that wouldn't be fair at all. People laying Corin etc at big odds would be taken to the cleaners having done nothing wrong.

^^^^^^^^^
SEETHING

Corin was last matched @ 22.0s


in a 4 way dead heat...that would only be a small hit

Terrible idea, Basically the same as 4 to be evicted market.

Corin last matched to be 9th at 22.0 Making it around 5.5 mark,
Yet 4 to be evicted market ast matched at 1.6!

voiding is a terrible outcome...

and no doubt the market will remain suspended until Monday at the least

Steve or VOID, there is no other reasonable solution. Personally, I see no real case as to why it shouldn't be Steve,

what am i missing,9th out is 9th out.....end of,usual moaning and void shouts from losing punters,never fails to amaze me

When you consider the percentages
John James 55%, Corin 20.6%, Sam 14.6, Steve 9.8%.
They have to void it

55%? LOL

John got 34.2%

why?

again,9th is 9th isnt it,was the market marked up as highest percentage winner.....

its the "If there is an announcement of any change to the established eviction procedure" that is the problem...

the fact that tonights first evictee wasn't the highest % vote...

then that is a change to the established eviction procedure...


BETFAIR WILL VOID ...I AM 100% CERTAIN.... AND I AM SEEETHING

void it

Dear Sir/Madam

Thank you for your e-mail.

The percentages do not come in to consideration with regards to this market. Regardless if the first person evicted Friday has the least/most voting percentage. The top of the rules located to the right state 'Who will be the NINETH housemate to be evicted from Big Brother 11?'

The market will be settled on whoever is the 9th person evicted from Big Brother 2010. Jo was evicted last week, therefore being the 8th evictee. I would therefore state that the first person evicted this Friday night would be considered the 9th evictee. Please also take in to considering the remainder of the rules located to the right.

This market will be suspended at 11.59pm on Sunday 15th August 2010. The market will then be re-opened with unmatched bets cancelled once an official announcement has been made in relation to the nomination process.

This market will be turned in-play at the start of any scheduled eviction show with unmatched bets cancelled. The market will then be suspended when voting lines close. Customers are entirely responsible for their positions at all times.

Any departure other than by public vote will not count as an eviction for the purpose of this market. If there is an announcement of any change to the established eviction procedure or any ambiguity as to who is voted off, then Betfair reserves the right to void this market at its absolute discretion. Subsequent events would NOT affect the result of this market.

If there is no eviction during a scheduled eviction show, the market will be reopened at the end of the show with unmatched bets cancelled and the time delay removed. If for any reason a scheduled eviction show is cancelled or postponed, then this market will remain open and all bets will be settled once the relevant eviction has been

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further enquiries.

did it state the highest would be evicted first....if not cant see it voided

How can punters possibly ever have confidence in BB markets again if this is not voided?

Good old Kelvin Starr.

A Betfair Legend.

Because they will read the rules in future AO ;-)

theres a problem because thet aint settled the market yet

I didn't bet on the market so makes little difference to me but the sensible thing to do is void it. Specials markets can be dodgy at the best of times with insider betting so voiding will give some of us a little more confidence in betting on these type of markets when the markets rules show there was a "change to the established eviction procedure",

Regardless of the email GB, the rules state that if there is any change to the standard eviction procedure then they will void...

You can't deny what happened wasn't a change to the standard eviction procedure, it clearly was.

I specifically asked about change in normal procedure in my email jack

it still amazes me after 11series full of twists,betting certainties being turned over and untold amounts of people crying fix due to this...that people are still backing a gameshow that has no set rules...only urselves to blame if u get in deep and blows up in ur faces

Betfair will wait for the morning meeting on Monday before making a decision.

Then they will void this market on Monday at 11.30am.

Ask them for a market on it

Just phone BF and ask to speak to Kelvin.

Sorted.

The crew knew all day that Steve was 1st out I've been told via text just now. Amazed they didn't get more on tbh, probably didn't know how it would be settled, we still don't. The email makes it seem like they'll pay out on Steve, they should pay out on the highest %.

just out of interest..was there a big price drop on steve at all today for 9th evictee

Market voided.

****ing joke

Going to be some serious seething on here now...

markets been voided!

Surely this has to be void or JJ treated as a winner. If bb knew early today that they would be evicting steve first i would argue that bets placed after that on anyone could never have won.

Any Steve backers are free to quote Kelvin's email

As it is I lost money on the koont 

where does it say voided

Needs to be voided - sets a dangerous precedent if the evicted housemate is chosen by a producer rather than public vote.

Betfair can just claim they voided it due to insiders... easy for them.

And to be fair, that's enough reason alone for the market to be voided - let alone with all this mess too.

well i just got my money back and was in the void/lapsed bit of current bets

Market closed please select another market.

Should be voided why try and have people over on a technicality

all for fairness and that but this is bollox , i had a feeling c4 would do something like this , so betted accordingly! people who backed johnj to go was always taking a risk! well n truely fooked off , been done out of a nice profit yet again

I'm with you on this Majoroak, I did exactly the same.

"If there is an announcement of any change to the established eviction procedure or any ambiguity as to who is voted off, then Betfair reserves the right to void this market at its absolute discretion. Subsequent events would NOT affect the result of this market."

No mention of anybody being evicted with the most votes !
I didn't hear any ANNOUNCEMENT about a change, and there was no ambiguity about who was voted off .....Steve was  definitely 9th out. 

Well peed off

People only see what they want to see in the wording of the rules.

Steve wasn't voted 9th out but he was evicted 9th out.

That's ambiguous, so Betfair had the right to void at their discretion.

I backed Steve to be 9th out and woke up this morning feeling hard done by, but looking at the bigger picture, if some insider trading did take place (and i'm sure it did) then it is a good decision, just hope it dont give Betfair the rope to make decisions like this if if dont suit them.

betfair make their own rope every day
