Report Charlton2005 August 5, 2012 8:48 PM BST
no manager on duty late on sunday night. the minimum wagers are too stupid to work out who the winner is

chambers is 10th, gemili 11th

but you can bet on what betfair decide as the meerkat is open
Report cape verdi August 5, 2012 8:53 PM BST
'Match Bets' for progress in a competition or event with multiple heats or rounds are determined by the competitor or team which qualifies to the furthest round (whether it takes part in the further round or not) or with the best score, time or finishing position in the final or same heat of that competition or event. If the relevant competitors or teams fail to qualify in the same round of the competition but in different heats then dead-heat rules will apply, irrespective of the finishing positions in their respective heats.

Surely Chambers time must make him the winner. If they had run in the same heat then times must be the deciding factor
Report elise August 5, 2012 8:55 PM BST
it is a dead heat, pople backing at odds on are going to be disappointed if this is settled according to normal rules

people* sorry
Report carrot1960 August 5, 2012 9:00 PM BST
they were still betting on the event about 5 minutes ago,any  one thinking it was easy money will have a shock  with it being a dead heat
Report Bish bash bosh August 5, 2012 9:02 PM BST
A friend of mine spoke to 3 members of bf staff, because they are both out in the same round its a dead heat and dead heat rules apply. the market was only left open in case of the bizarre possibility that 2 finalists dont run in the final. anyone that has backed or layed above or below evens will be happy
Report elise August 5, 2012 9:03 PM BST
settled, was a dead heat
Report tonymack August 5, 2012 9:06 PM BST
Ok lost money and taken on the chin after reading the rules, but the very fact that the rules are clearly there to see should have resulted in the event being suspended the second that chambers crossed the line
Report Bish bash bosh August 5, 2012 9:14 PM BST
why the outcome technically isnt known until the final isnt run as if someone doesnt start the next person makes the final (unlikely but can happen). the rules were clearly there, if anyone was confused or not 100% they should have phoned bf to check
