Kaiserslautern v Stuttgart

Abandoned according to futbol24

hope all bets are void, as i was on overs

do you Know if stakes are valued in these cases?

phew was on overs

Anybody know why ?

When do stakes get refunded here

Think its a stake refund if the game isnt finished within 3 days

Floodlight failure.

You'll get a refund within 3 days, as long as they don't finish the match off at some point.

do you know when the floodlight failure was?

so do current bets stand until a decision is made to replay

yes

it was a friendly game ,it shall not be continued in any way

this was at a neutral venue so it wont be finished, will prob have to wait until later tonight or tomorrow morning for the official word though

I hope they refund the money too, but when ? thats the question

within 72 hours.

It happened to me twice, both in official games, not friendlies, and my stakes were refunded in about 24 hours, so those 72 hours are probably old rules.

Maybe a Betfair official can give some more information about this?

why are we betting on this crap

Any German experts know if there is any danger of this actually re starting?

Many people will have taken a position at some time between kick off and the game being abandoned due to the way the match was panning out. If this game is replayed, unless they can reproduce exactly the same timeline, how can it possibly be fair to hold punters to their original bet. Come on Betfair, try and make a straightforward decision, draw a line through this game and return all bets. How hard can it be to see simple reason ?

In friendlies, and it's happened many times before, the referee can decide the score when he called the game off was the ft result. It's worth ringing betfair to find out your position.

Not much chance of this game being completed. In fact, no chance.

These mid-season/international break/winter break friendlies take place at teams training camps, usually in the alps, and against other teams who happen to be in the area at the same time at their training camp.
In last nights case, the game took place at the former Offenbach stadium. So, a neutral venue, and a handful of fans (passers by).

According to what ive read so far, both teams agreed to a 15 minute wait after the failure, after which all parties agreed to 'no longer attempt to continue the match'.

Given it was a friendly, and both teams will have schedules to keep, theres no chance the game will be continued.

I've just been refunded. :)

Me too, thank god :)
