Yes. Ditto with Sheffield Wednesday v Ipswich. My bets disappeared and the market disappeared. No bets in my account.

Sunday they completely voided a match in Venezuela. Recently had money in several other matches just never settled. Very concerning.

Ridiculous to void all the bets - hopefully they'll reinstate.  Or if not how about an explanation???

you can only assume it's because of suspicious betting activity, i.e. potential f1x alerts, an Italian match and an under 23's match likely targets.

I had this happen to me a couple of days ago, greened up in a game but didn't get the profit. "Voided". How can they void matched bets?
And WHY?

Conspiracy theory only.

Since I'm trading, it's both losing and winnings bets for me. They're just voiding markets.

It's the principle that is wrong. Like I said, place money into a market when you're unable to win. What happens to those that lay off with a different bookmaker? Or occasionally, I'll trade different markets against each other. If they void one then not the other, then you are in trouble.

I never got mine sorted out, lucky you.
When I contacted them was told, I'm wondering if I misread it now, I thought it said reversed fixture [did I misread reserved?]. If it was a reserved game and shouldn't have been on the coupon, couldn't they have just let it run and settled? Where would have been the harm? And they could just pick and choose in the future.

Pordenone just disappeared completely from the exchange and a few minutes later it returned. Must have done a Dier and gone for a dump.

Again I say, if it got some takers on the exchange, why can't they just let it go and void the unmatched.

Explanation is posted above. Certainly on some of the markets anyway. An invalid explanation as far as I'm concerned but this is their excuse:

These games should never have been on the coupon.

Nah, no way. Plenty of fixed games since ages here, some very obvious with thousands of $$$ matched and never seen single game voided due to "suspicious betting activity" issue it's not Sbobet or Singbet. And speaking about this reserve game mentioned, u23 uk games are not fixed odds shift like crazy because of team news. Must be something else.

All the current coupon games showing in-play. No scores, no times, nothing. I have no clue either, but it is one thing after another now. This site is not fit for purpose. I think Shiny has got this one spot on.
Report ericster October 28, 2020 9:46 AM GMT
I reckon you're right Aspro. It's a petty gripe really I suppose but I did have a moan about no score-line a while back, it's a nuisance but what can we do?
Also, they should not be consorting with bookmakers, that was the whole point of BF.
I wonder what messrs Black and Wray make of all this.
Report ALIEN SEX FIEND October 28, 2020 10:33 AM GMT
Nobody shoud have to have ask why a bet is voided. It should be put up for all and sundry to read so everyone knows what happened.
The fact they put no reason up and you have to chase this up, is a concern.
Report ericster October 28, 2020 11:01 AM GMT
ASF, the concern is that they will change tack inplay with bet and lay  offers going through  the markets of a game, some matched, and just pull the rugs from under those involved. If they want to pull events from the exchange, okay, I can live with that, that's their choice, but when bets have been matched couldn't they at least  let these  games play out to the end. I suppose  I should be grateful that my stake was re-funded.
Report Darlo Bantam October 28, 2020 1:13 PM GMT
Last two posts nail it.

It's a concern when they do pull active markets when people are betting/trading and can't actually win. It's frustrating when a supposed in-play market is not put in-play especially for those wanting to take a position before the off and trade out in-play, but sometimes that's understandably beyond BF's control. But pulling a market when it has naturally run its course is a different problem altogether.

I should have added NO Major company ever defends a small claim (say under £500) if there is ANY doubt

Also if you get judgment they wont prevaricate in future

I remember Betfair transferred a lot of their operations in terms of market management (admin) from Ireland (Dublin) to Romania a couple of years ago, there were quite a few posts/threads at time made about poor management, adding markets too late, no extra time markets, wrong times/date that sort of thing, not sure why it's gotten worse now but maybe has something to do with a lack of staff over there because of Covid-19 restrictions, foreign office update on Romania was that new restrictions were put in place on October 20th which included closing of gambling venues (along with theatres and cinemas, plus all schools teaching is now online from home), and that would include their headquarters over there which is in Cluj-napoca, one of the places where the new rules apply.

Maybe reduced staff and access to company technology/facilities is the problem.
Report scandanavian_haven October 30, 2020 11:49 PM GMT
btw, anyone breaching those rules over there are fined up to 2.5k. No Romanian worker is going to risk that.
