What is the reason?
Why is it taking so long to put the market back up?

no idea. drives me mad at times. it should take about 1 second to press a button that cancels all the bets then un-suspend it. write betfair an email if youre feeling brave!

By:
It was unsuspended as I said in the other thread, ample enough time to get the bet off

What are you lot using to place your bets? I had time to if I wanted to

i didnt even look at the betting, but i know from other matches it can take forever. seems no reason for it, its not like theyre setting prices like bookies.

Sadly, it's always been like that. Certainly doesn't make it right but it has.
I suspect it's connected to the replays of the most recent goal. They won't put it back in-play until they can see the game live. With the money involved, you would think they could obtain a feed from the main camera only, without the need for those operating the suspension button to also view replays. It's bitten me many a time. |

There's inconsistency depending on the leagues or the coverage. Any big match or televised match, the market seems to only be reopened once the game kicks. Most other matches, it's often only suspended for the best part of five seconds. But occasionally, it's not even suspended; the bets are cleared but nothing else, and I know there's people complain that it means you can strictly bet at price pre-suspend but the suspend doesn't go up long enough for your bet to be stopped.

Well it seems most of the above are using the browser to place their bets and for me that therein is one main issue. Should be using AGT like I do and you get quicker access to the api than with a browser without a doubt

It's the guy in the ground that suspends/unsuspends.

Should be using AGT like I do and you get quicker access to the api than with a browser without a doubt I had AGT running. I noticed money did hit the market but it wasn't open long enough for me to make a bet. Luckily enough. |

I could have Darlo but would have been close to the 8 second rule I think so wouldn't have mattered anyway but deffo should have AGT or similar thos extra seconds count in those situations
|

By:
I certainly agree with your suggestion though. Other software might be similar but there's no need to press refresh, or wait longer, like you need on the Betfair site. AGT reopens the markets essentially immediately after they are reopened.
|

By:
With AGT being currently free there's no excuse either.

Whatever system you are using, the fact remains that it took too long to reopen the market. The goal went in and the market was suspended. How long do you need to suspend the market for? Surely 10 seconds is ample time.The bets on the market can be frozen and a new market opened up. What is reason for keeping the market suspended for a couple of minutes?
The only reason that I can think of is probably libellous. |

if they have a guy in the ground, why do they need an 8 second delay?? if anybody has faster pictures than the guy sat in the stadium, theres summat wrong somewhere!

I think the best thing that should be done is that the market should be opened as quickly as possible. Within 10 seconds seems ample. I think you are agreeing with me that this is the case - and that it took much longer than it should, though maybe not.
When the market is open, I can place my bets.It's just when it is closed I am having a problem. Why does it take so long to open the market? Please don't tell me to get AGT, that is not the point I am making here. There is no quality of service. You just have to take what we are given - which is totally inconsistent. |

what I don't understand is that lots of times the market suspends for example an offside goal and within seconds it comes back on line, but when there is a real goal such as the crawley goal, it didn't re open till after the penalty ? crawley celebrated for ages and the game re started over 30 seconds after the goal so why didn't the market come back into play - anyone think there is some hidden agenda if not I would like betfair to respond with a ststement and the reason why? there should be a rule saying that after an incident, ie goal, red card etc the market will be suspended and re open 10 seconds later then we all know whats happening and what to expect - comment betfair please

90:00 +1:52 Handball by Kyle McFadzean.
90:00 +1:48 The ball is crossed by Kevin McDonald. 90:00 +0:28 Assist by Jamie Proctor. 90:00 +0:28 Goal scored Goal - Billy Clarke - Wolves 1 - 1 Crawley Billy Clarke scores with a left foot finish. Wolverhampton 1-1 Crawley Town. So it took 1 minute and 20 seconds if the bbc are to be believed. Now, usually the market is open but today, for some reason it wasn't. Yes, the market reopened but I doubt very much if any money was matched. Could Betfair possibly try to provide a standard service rather than just whatever they fancy they are going to provide today? |

refreshing on a browser or not there should be a rule that says when an event is suspended it will re-open in a stated time, maybe there is a rule somewhere but not seen it, if no rule exists then it should. As a very regular betfair user since it just about started up I can tell when something is not as it should be and in my opinion the market took too long to re open, there was enough time between goal, celebrations, stroll back into crawley half, kick off etc for the market to open without depending on what browser was being used :)

Markets shouldn`t be suspended when there is a penalty kick. Punters should have the opportunity to bet or lay dependent on their thoughts on whether the team will score or miss the penalty and offer or take odds accordingly.

Kellydamo - we get your point and accept that you are cleverer than us but perhaps you would care to explain to us non techies exactly what AGT is?

kellydamo - I think most punters would agree markets should not be suspended when a penalty is awarded.
