The Open Championship.

3rd April sent you a message, asking you to update.

9th April (yes, six days later), you respond asking which players are missing, as your golf experts consider that they have every qualifier listed.

9th April, I respond listing many players missing.

Since then I have sent you 3 reminders, none of which you have even bothered replying to.

I appreciate that golf may not be your biggest money spinner, but this has gone beyond a joke.

I will not telephone, as I get fed up with being left on hold for ages.

Please go and give your golf manager a kick up the 'arris, and tell him to get his, or her, act together.

Without doubt, the worst customer service in corporate history.

Pathetic.

Rant over.

An updated market would be fantastic.

A reply would be great.

An acknowledgement that I exist would be fair enough.

Another few days of ignoring your customers would be more than likely.

I know you're out there BCM, as you've been posting on other threads.

Come on. Get your act together, and show me that you care.

Please.

@BetfairHelpdesk on twitter the quickest way to get anythin done around here now Sad

Hi Maggot - I can only assume you didn't send those messages to me as I've not seen them! If you add here the names you want added, I'll chase them this morning. I can't act much quicker than that - and if that still makes this the 'worst customer service in corporate history' can you let me know your bank, utility supplier and mobile provider as I'll switch instantly :-)

Sad that the quickest way to get action nowadays is to post stuff on Facebook or twitter .

Dont know how to reference either myself , but I hear this coming from the younger generation .

Its also a comment on society , a quick fix approach arising from perceived publicity instead of a proper business like response .

BJG / Kelly - yes, Twitter (@BetfairHelpdesk) is there to use if you want/need to. But similarly, if people contact me or the other BCMs on here, we'll also assist. On this occasion, I didn't get those messages but I've responded within 30 minutes of seeing maggot's post.

Apropos of replies to e-mails , sent one to a bookie site , about 3 weeks ago .  Took them 6 days to reply ( apologetically but the query was already out of date when the reply came ) .

Angel Cabrera apparently is one of those who should be up on site , certainly think there would be more interest in him than in Paul Casey for instance . But never sure about the Open , with qualifying tournaments all over the place .

At least a 8 - 10% lay influence on the market there , maggot , Cabrera being the lowest price among them  , but Gonzo and Lynn plus the Americans also could not be ruled out .

tough one as only the following have entered yet




http://www.theopen.com/en/Players/EntryList.aspx


of course we know there will be a few more

and

http://www.theopen.com/en/Players/ExemptPlayers.aspx

should help work out who will be able to enter


it wouldnt, imo, be unreasonable to list the top 60 or so in rankings as non runners are deleted and steaks returned (top 50 at week 21 get in...6 weeks to go )

It really is shocking the way that Betfair manage their golf markets.

Thay don't even have Michael Campbell in the betting, and he won the fekin thing in 2005.

Incredibly poor.

All players who qualified for last year's Tour Championship

Top 15 finishers on the previous year's European Tour money list

Top 50 players in the current year's Official World Golf Ranking as of a cutoff point approximately four weeks prior to the U.S. Open.

i know some of these are yet to be decided but for the ones that are already decided someone in the office should be going through the lists

I see that you have added those players, BCM, and I appreciate it.

I know it's nothing to do with you, but somebody at Betfair should really have their finger on the pulse, in particular, when it comes to the majors.

If we believe your advertising campaign, then you are supposed to be a leading light in the sports betting business, and it shouldn't come down to the likes of myself to tell you who has qualified for the biggest golf tournaments on the planet.

Thanks again.

I backed Garrigus last week,23rd of April. As far as i know he didn't play at all.

Bf didn't give me money back,bet lost. After 3 e-mails to Bf, I received no reply.

I don't bet often on golf,so there might be something I am missing.

Freddie Jacobson and Robert Garrigus are officially out of the 2013 Zurich Classic of New Orleans, officials announced Wednesday. No reasons were given for their withdrawals.


Garrigus recently tied for 38th at the 2013 Masters and Jacobson tied for 25th. Garrigus said on Twitter that he'll be at the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow next week.

Alternates Billy Mayfair and Gary Christian have been added to the field.

All they need to do is add some programming codes to re-order the market automatically.
