Anyone aware of the distinction between the above two markets on Sportsbook? Apparently the former is for all bets before the day of a final, and the latter for on the day bets. Usually this doesn't matter of course, but for the AFCON winner, Sportsbook have now paid Morocco as Outright Winner but Senegal on "To Lift the trophy" (literally true I guess!). Bad luck for Morocco punters who bet on the Lift the Trophy market, as they will not be paid out after all.

As you say the 'To lift the trophy' is on the day and Outright is if anything happens after the event (which it has in this case). As this is probably a 1 in a 1000 event surely Beftair will pay out on both. Senegal could also appeal and get it back so what do they do then?

I've always found Betfair to live up to their name... FAIR. They'll pay out if it is due.

I found Betfair to be unfair.

Please elaborate kincsem. Been on here well over 20 years and barely had any issues at all.

In 25 years betting with them, I've always thought Betfair were quite reasonable in relation to settlement, but they won't resettle my "lift the trophy" bet on Morocco as a winner, which seems a bit harsh. I now 'get' their different markets, but it still seems like semantics, even though I suppose no betting firm will want to pay on two winners.
