Mexica V Bosnia- Wrong score..

You got lucky.

This reminds me of a night match about a year ago, when all the live score websites were displaying a goal and updated scoreline of 3-1. Trading was occurring on 3-1 as if it was the current score, then 5 minutes later 2-1 flickered into life again and the score reverted back! Carnage!

It's just occurred to me that if BF were displaying 0-1 that might go some way to explain why the 0-0 was still trading at it's kick off odds nearly 30 minutes in.

I believe he laid it in the HT market unfortunately. We'll probably never see him again if he's lost the whole bank.

so you thought it was free muney.

Was this on Betfair's live scores page?

Thanks pxb.

I sometimes rely solely on the BF live score site, and have never seen it wrong yet.

most will be glad you got stung

thieves never prosper

utmnig,

I suspect that it's not the fact that you've been 'opportunistic' that has caused annoyance. It's the fact that, having taken an advantage of a seeming opportunity of this type and got it wrong, you elected to come on to the forum crying about your mistake and looking to blame someone other than yourself without any valid cause.

Incidentally, here is the relevant t&c:

Warning: Although the current score, time elapsed and other data provided on this site is sourced from a "live" feed provided by a third party, you should be aware that this data may be subject to a time delay and/or be inaccurate.  If you rely on this data to place bets, you do so entirely at your own risk. Betfair provides this data AS IS with no warranty as to the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of such data and accepts no responsibility for any loss (direct or indirect) suffered by you as a result of your reliance on it.

Simply because a term and condition exists doesn't automatically make it fair and enforceable in law. Nevertheless, in this particular case I would rate your chances of mounting a successfully challenge at less than 0.1%.

I didnt really intend to take it any further than to see peoples opinions on it, raise the issue and ofc vent some obviously understandable frustrations!

Now on the note of "without any valid cause" lets be real here, regardless of the t&c (keeping in mind im only talking to other betfair customers and not talking to betfair about my rights or anything like that)the score was displayed wrong I made a bet, then the score was corrected. Are you to tell me you dont think thats a cause for a mild annoyance?

Its not like i'm here moaning demanding money back I just wanted to talk about the issue on the forum which does not seem unreasonable to me at all.

I came on and took my loses in good humour, spoke about learning my lesson and dont think i complained too much all I asked was is ther eanything to do about it and I even expressed I was doubtful!

Lesoon upnuts.
Never bet on anything involving Bosnia.

What can you rely on, if you're not getting a direct live feed into your house ?
Btw I agree with your comments in general, which is why I avoid IR betting.

Hey guys,
I posted here but it never showed up, I was asking if anyone knows a system or guidelines on the site thats good for beginners because i generally rely on guess work and it works ok i have the ability to build up from 20-30 euro up to about 150 then i take out 50 float around 70-100 for a bit and lose it all and deposit again! I'd like to break this habbit so does anyone know a good place to start?

Jt in my defence i did say lol and tone is hard to take on from text alone so since you seem like a smart man (or woman) how bout we agree to take my word for it I wasnt fuming or anything i was even joking about a mess in my pants and said lol!

I generally use those sites for football and espn for basketball scores since I work 2 jobs and am doing law in college time is not something I have the luxury of atm so i tend to bet on the go!

Thanks for all the replies good and bad appreciate them all!
any tips for me as im a newbie id love and will defo take them on board and appreciate them!

Read anything and evrything posted by Aye Robot, Contrarian, Investor and Bayes for starters.

Contrarian, I have seen it go wrong. For instance, it goes 1-0 and 5 seconds later it is changed to 0-1 when they make a mistake.

There was A swedish cup match last year some time, early in the cup, two nothing teams, an illiquid market.

fbol 24 put up a score of 1-0 the market on match odds moved accordingly, 10 mins later fbol 24 changed it to 0-1. There must have been no one at all watching the match and betting.
