Market void end off!

The only sensible decision, WD betfair for once :)

I had a nice green book, but no other option.

Poor.[:o] Didn't play in the market, but where does it say in the rules the housemate with the highest percentage is actually the 9th person to leave? Should have stood imo.

I think it should have stood, but I had no bet precisely because I could see this happening.

Nice green book as well had JJ and Andrew for fairly large amounts everyone else nicely green
That said it had to be void and I never complain about betfairs decisions they decide what they feel is fair. If people complain it will further reduce their willingness to bet on these markets and we will be left with nothing

Can someone explain what happened? I've been out and got a text to say well done as I backed Steve @ 9 .... Just checked my account wtf?? Thanks in advance anyone

I was green on Steve on Betfair 9th eviction market (having laid John James when he looked like walking) - voided, backed JJ with P.Power 'next evicted' at 6-4 - lost my money. The way this night has gone for me
I can understand Betfair decision and think it's fair enough. Not too happy with P.Power but their wording is 'next eviction' so I guess I was a mug for not realising.

BF shouldn't have voided imho JR. And Steve was a loser for me

Betfair had in their rules saying void if the eviction doesn't follow normal procedure so that had to be voided.

The bookies all said just 9th eviction so the winner of the market was Steve, end of.

Disclaimer: I had no had a bet in the 9th eviction market at allso have no axe to grind.

Cheers Guys I'm not a happy bunny .... As far as I am concerned the 9th person to leave / get evicted was Steve and BF you are taking the pizz imo [>o] Time to Mail them and use proper language!

It's covered in the rules, potless, "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."

I didn't have a bet but would have been pissed off if Betfair settled Steve as 9th evictee with those rules. It's clearly a change to established procedure to have the person with the lowest % of the four evicted to go first simply because they wanted to keep viewers watching til the end with John James. Even Corin got a higher % than Sam so it's not like they had any pattern to the eviction other than keeping viewers watching.

Well played, Betfair

everyone knew there were going to be 4 evictions tonight,so bf should either have voided the market at the start or stood by the result.9th eviction Steve,simple as.very poor decision to void market after the result.not happy.

Spot on imo Voiding after the eviction was taking the pi55

Poor. End of.

Agree. As soon as they said there were going to be four evictions on one night, market should have been pulled. Already a change to established procedure right there.

Betfair have made the wrong decision here. I can see why they have voided but it wasn't the correct course of action. They really need to start changing the words in their market headings and rules.

^^^^ Wot Topper said. Complain and betfair wont bother with these markets.

That said it had to be void and I never complain about betfairs decisions they decide what they feel is fair. If people complain it will further reduce their willingness to bet on these markets and we will be left with nothing

Sounds like the slaves' charter. Nothing wrong with complaining, it's just helping BF improve.

I haven't 'complained' but I have asked them to clarify what they meant by the email they sent me

Of course they will bother, it's money for them. Some of you are so timid and melodramatic.

They seem to be having a lie in though [;)]
