It's creating a situation where they can do whatever they feel like it, based on if they like the outcome or not, imo

WW & AR, I get your points. Maybe they should clarify the rules when this situation arises

Can't help but think, especially with PP being involved, that potentially they now seed markets in house, and this mistake cost them a bit so they voided, yet in other cases they profited and nothing was done. That's just a potential theory.

So next time I place a bet on a team who they say have gone 1 up but it is disallowed, we can come back to this and say, excuse me I want my bet voided.

By:
they wont need to clarify anything just train the suspend boys to wait a moment longer

exactly Rider, it was a mistake by the suspend monkey not holding long enough knowing the new technology was in place this evening. but that doesn't give Betfair the right to go cancelling bets because their suspend monkey is incompetent!

This is a first. Never seen them do this before. They've opened up pandoras box here. Short term gains for long term problems imho.

By:
It probably won't ever happen again, AR. Will just be swept under the carpet.

They never void bets on what was an open market. Nothing in their rules say's they should void that bet. The market was suspended and re-opened. User's place there bets at their own discretion. What they did was wrong.
|
|
By:
Nothing in the rules says they need to re-suspend a market if a goal is disallowed, whether that be a linesman or fourth official. I'll write and enquire as the exchange needs to be a level playing field, they can't pick and choose when these bets are voided.

but its their ball and all that, they can do what they want, i'm sure it says this somewhere in the t&c!, they'll be no long term problems because they are an effective monolpoly

I hate this new concept of video referee aswell. I don't want delays while they decide if the goal that was scored suits FIFA/UEFA before awarding it.

Not suspending on the occurrence of a Material Event •If Betfair does not suspend a market on time for the occurrence of a Material Event, Betfair reserves the right to void bets unfairly matched after the Material Event has occurred. Voiding of these bets may take place during the event or retrospectively once a game is completed
|
|
By:
They did suspend the market on time. They just didn't hold the suspend long enough technically, because the suspend operator forgot about the possibility of technology interference
|
|
By:
Yep there's the get oot Material Event
|
|
By:
say goodbye to late drama...ie a team 1-3 down on the 88th minute and then scoring an 'offside goal' in the 90th and going on to equalise in the 92nd because the enthusiasm will be non-existing after the 90th minute goal was ruled offside by the video referee

By:
Yup material event, so we can stop moaning now...and get used to it because its here to stay
|
|
By:
Yeah, they'll definitely fall back on Material Event. First time ever, and from here on in, if anyone loses money betting on a goal then being disallowed in a re-opened market they can claim using this it MUST be voided.

Yeah, they'll definitely fall back on Material Event. First time ever, and from here on in, if anyone loses money betting in a re-opened market assuming the goal scored stands which is then disallowed, they can claim using this it MUST be voided.

Ince is right...ruining the sport
