this is official protest thread! what the hell has happened to betfair lately???!!! they have introduced 12 sec in-play delay which is unbearable! sports exchange and trading (scalping) have just been destoryed!  8-9 sec in-play delay was hardly acceptable but 12 sec delay is just an INSULT to football traders!
TRADING (SCALPING) IS NOT POSSIBLE WITH 12 SEC IN-PLAY DELAY. do you even realise that dear betfair managers???? i dare to doubt it....
i have noticed this kind of delay in norwegian, danish, swedish, turkish, korean football leagues so far. this is scanadalous, give us a reason why you introduced such an awful policy!!!

everybody knows that living in UK is the best for sports trading so maybe you should punish UK residents somehow too??? (irony of course)

Got a 12-second delay this morning on the South Korean game (Jeonbuk Hyundai) as well. I don't know whether that's always been the case or not, but I found it difficult to get matched at the odds that I had put in and gave up betting altogether on it after several failed attempts. At the very least it's annoying, but at the same time it can't be good for business for Betfair (missed commission and all that)?

exactly man, i checked the same game in south korea...it was disgusting! they give us 5-6 sec in-play delay on some european football but ruin the rest of games with pathetic 12 sec. we must do sth about it and write to the management directly!

12 sec... shocking.  It is just NOT FAIR anymore!

Here's the official reason why:

It's due to a delay in some feeds, so markets will have a longer delay unfortunately. It's something we're working to improve moving forward. t's a new delay time due to the delayed feeds we're getting. So the 'improve moving forward', was in relation to getting quicker and better feeds so we can offer the markets with a smaller in-play delay.

If they are protecting customers increasing the delay on Argentinian League etc when they don't protect customers on other leagues, where they are being hoovered by "someone"( La Liga, Premier League, Bundesliga- there is no protection there. Im agains 12 seconds rule as it seems to be crazy.

i think they want us off here 


it's like a bus service that the council wants rid of- they don't close it because that would  incur roth and fury -but if they make sure the buses are unrelaible and old enough, the hope is that folk will be encouraged to  get a car or taxi  Laugh

Have the same feeling Coach ;)

Maybe it's come to the point where they think they Exchange is too much hassle and after 15 years has already past it's peak so the next plan is to close it down and have a sportsbook only, with their prices they wouldn't last long.

Would help if we didn't have incessant and needless suspends. Though that is something that has been common for all the time I've been using Betfair.

they knocked the delay down to one second for most golf events, a massive step forward

some live golf is two minutes behind on tv , a 120 second delay to protect punters would be a laugh

That's how I feel a bit about a 12-second delay on football, donny. I understand they're trying to protect the punter from hoovering, but the longer the delay, the reality is the further ahead in future you're actually betting anyway. I'm really not sure that protects punters. 12 seconds really is a ridiculous length of time in a football match.
Report donny osmond May 5, 2015 6:12 PM BST
so long as they make it clear in the rules

some football is unmanaged,

i'd far rather play unmanaged than 12 second delay, but i suppose the big layers
dictate the conditions
