I think I'm seeing unmatched bets disappearing so as long as they are being cancelled that's good news.

Years ago as I remember they brought the site up with bets still there on inplay games which is a total disaster, or let SOME people match bets when the rest of us couldn't do anything, another total disaster. I hope the correct procedure is followed to avoid such things, that's what emergency procedures are for..

best thing to do in a situation like this is to light up a doobie and check back in at five thirty.

The betfair sportsbook, is just a normal bookmaker.

you can lay off inefficiently through a bookmaker but not ideal at all

trader that's precisely they can't "refund" trading bets or such. Say you had exposure of 100 quid lay on arsenal to win and they went 0-1 down, and you then went and backed that off on betduck or something for a locked in profit, and then there was an equaliser and betfair THEN cancelled the lay .. you'd be done in. And they can't tell if you were wanting to let it run anyway as they just see a bet not a "trading bet". Thats why they need to honour the pre-matched bets but they should NOT let things that happen after it goes wrong that do people in, like suddenly let all the 0-0 or losing side bets be matched that were set pre kick off etc.

It does seem to go down quite a bit at vital times. Definately one of the poorest betting sites.
