I know that if a set is played, bets are taken but Betfair could not make a gesture for his customers?

I had a multipe with a odds of 9! And because of Voegele who retired in the second set having made the break. I don't ask to be paid off but at least Betfair could make cross the quotation of this match in 1.

It is not of our fault if the match is not completely played and what a player injures himself.

I know that my request is not lucky to succeed but if somebody is in the same case as I, we would like that Betfair modifies its regulation.

A disappointed man..

Thank you and sorry for my english

I can understand your frustration, but those are the rules.  It has been discussed a million times about what is the fairest way to go and settling bets as long as one set is played is the accepted way on Betfair and has been for as long as I remember.

As they hedge their liabilities from Multiples into the match markets they have to have the same rules for Multiples too.

If Robson had been the one retiring (a set up!) I don't think you'd be on here feeling guilty asking Betfair to take your winnings from you.

There are bookmakers that settle bets only if the match is completed, if you really think that is the fairest way to do it, then you should bet with them.

At the end of the day it's some you win, some you lose...... but Robson is going to be a pretty decent player so you will lose more often than not if you're going to continue opposing her. Mischief

Good luck.

you have my sympathy, but I doubt BF operate to the margins to make these kind of concessions, probably best sticking to singles.
