did this happen when all those moneysavingexperts were laying first goalscorers thinking there was a big overround, only to find that when the non runners were taken out of the market they were betting overbroke?

i believe they did their dough.

i know the figures are entirely differn't here. but surely if a precedant was set on that event it still stands?

or is this ebtirely differn't?

To make sure this never happens again.

Max exposure per account 1 million.

Compensation fund set up with the funds generated from the data request charges (as it looks like a bot gone potty) instead of going to BF coffers. 

That way everyone knows where they stand.

I think this is very different mex. I'd be amazed if the relevant account had more than a token amount in it and the account holder didn't know exactly what they were doing, so the real question is, should BF bear the loss?

and the answer is surely no. otherwise the precedent is set that someone can destroy the company by finding a loophole in their software.

i would imagine that if not knowing what you're doimg is grounds for somebody not to have to bear a loss, there are thousands on here due a refundCool

i'd like to know the detail behind how the exposure limit was breached. surely this should be very simple check in place. What conveluted piece of code have they it place where this check breaks? Can they give us a clear explanation to how this check is now performed to show us it cannot happen again?

Perhaps just be thankful that the glitch has now come to light, and has now been fixed.
But your point perhaps is " has it ? "

My last betID was getting on for 18 billion, Frog. I think the more surprising thing would be this hasn't happened once before in all those 17 billion bets submitted on here.

I'm sure it has, as presumably nobody is disputing that there was in fact a computer glitch involved ?
Or are they even disputing that ?
Techie wise, I have to admit it's all far beyond my understanding.
