Who on earth lays these ridiculous prices? Are there really people sat there laying 1000/1 on scores that are already impossible on each game?

Bayern scored and it looked like hte goal was given.
Ref spoke with the linesman for a little bit, market must have unsuspended at this point, then the ref decided to rule the goal out. |

By:
Incredible spot from the fella who got on at that price. Nice, mainstream game so plenty of liquidity to lay it off just as quick.
|

By:
Yeah I know how it happened Lemmi, was watching the game, just don't understand for the life of me what the hell is going on with people laying 1000/1 shots of impossible scores.
I mean...who on earth ever takes the bet? How on earth do they make money? |
|
By:
I did see a chance to lay a 1000/1 shot in HT 0-0 market once.
It was pretty much free money as the game was running for a while with the score confirmed. But I didn't have £2k sitting around in my bank roll :D |

By:
Bayern thought they had scored a 3rd, referee and lino chatted forever, disallowed, stayed 2-1.
Looks like the 1000 buyer laid off at 1.63 to guarantee a fortune Correct score 2-1 1.6 £840 1.61 £169 1.62 £519 1.63 £21,337 1.64 £265 1.65 £200 1.66 £982 |

das ist gut !

By:
People take the 1000 on offer to release funds if they've already layed in that market. It is pretty much giving money away though.
|
|
By:
ive backed 1000 plenty of times when ive layed the 0-0 and want to untie up the money.
theres also nothing wrong with laying scores that cant possibly happen. if it cant happen, it cant happen. obvious this wasnt the case, cos it could happen. someones made an almighty c0ck up. probably watching several different matches and didnt notice it was disallowed. |

A dangerous way to steal a few quid. If this was one layer, that's forty grand exposure to win four. Madness.
|
|
By:
Laying 1000s when they're impossible isn't dangerous or risky. However, the feeds or whatever way the automated bets get their info from, is not reliable enough.
|
|
By:
^ This. I mean if it really, really, really is an impossible scoreline then I'd happily bet my bollocks for a penny.
But having said that, surely surely surely people would figure out that stuff like what happened tonight is liable to happen at some point? |

the layer should get on the phone to betfair imo.
if they can refund the horse in the lead at 80+/1 odds then they can refund a clear mis understanding. |
|
By:
Hopefully it was a betfair bot that layed it.
|
|
By:
The trouble with automated bots is that bf has no consistency in how they manage the markets. Some matches will suspend, clear bets, reopen the markets instantly. So if a goal is disallowed bf will report the wrong score and the bots will react. While on other matches bf wait for the kick off before reopening.
|
|
By:
I don't think it's Betfair's problem in that respect, bingo bongo. It's the feeds that update the score which trigger the bot bets. Betfair rightly suspend when they think there's a goal but quickly unsuspend when it's not a goal - there's no reason to wait for kick off to reopen when there's going to be no kick off.
|
|
By:
Yes but sometimes they reopen as if there has been a goal is what I mean. So the unmatched bets are cancelled and markets which have "ended" are left suspended. I didn't see the second half last night but it happened during the first half (goal disallowed for offside).
