Hi
Just needed some feedback with a bet I placed last night
I backed under 4.5 goals in the Porto game keeping the bet in play
When the game got suspended my bet had not been matched but when betting resumed and Porto had scored my bet come up as matched
I am now thinking my bet had been matched after the goal but surely my bet should have been cancelled
Bet fair told me my bet had been matched at 21:16:39 seconds
The only way I can prove this is if I can find out when the game got suspended for the first goal
Just wondering if anyone else had issues with bets being matched after a goal
Ps would bet fair know the exact time the game got suspended after the first goal
Thanks

See R&R 10

"For the avoidance of doubt this means that (for example) when a Material Event occurs in a soccer match and other unmatched bets are cancelled before the market is reopened, a keep bet will not be cancelled."

So my thinking is that even if BF magically suspended for the goal the moment the ball crossed the line (so your bet was not swept by those with faster pics or faster fingers than those BF were using to manage the market) then the moment the market came back for betting your bet would be sitting there at very good value (to others, very poor to yourself) and would be matched almost immediately.

Hi
Thanks for your reply
So what you are saying is if you keep a bet in play it will not be cancelled if even a goal has been scored
For example if I backed under 1:5 goals keep in play and a goal is scored in first 5 minutes for£200 at 1:30 someone would then match the bet once betting opens and come out with a decent profit

Not what I'm saying.  What Betfair say.  But yes.
