Its frightening to see just how many people are writing on this forum about this and the above was what i originally wrote over a year ago before all this stuff happened(its scarily similar).Imo it was only a matter of time before someone challenged them over it and possibly is only a matter of time before someone challenges them legally over it because if you cant win you shouldnt be able to lose and the main ingredient is Betfairs greed to leave the scenario there so they can allow people to green up and bet more and pay more commission.

If you don't like rules don't play the game, take your business elsewhere.
I am sure the local bokkies will be happy to take your cash with no commission added. |

I know this is probably stating the obvious but here goes. A large slice of the money matched at 999-1 in running on horse racing is matched by bots. The bots are simply skimming machines and don't really care what has happened in a race as they are simply a mathematical calculator.
The real "thieving" by the track players is done at a lot less than 999-1 and that is a fact. |

im pretty sure its illegal to lay bets on events that cannot happen or you cannot win.
therefore in real-time if you bet on a horse that has already fallen and your horse cannot be remounted then you can't possible win it is actually againt the law. but im sure betfair have done their homework on this one and have it all covered. lets be frank if your silly enough to bet in-running on an internet feed then you probably deserve to lose. the same can be said for correct score in the football arguement |

folk are asking how betfair would know exactly when a horse has fallen.
of course they know exactly when it happened. it happened just a second before all the crooks priced it at 1000 on here. |

Hmmm, you see a horse at 999/1 during a race.....you back it without 'researching the bet'. Was this a wise move?
Hmmm, you're playing in-running. A horse went off at 20-1 in an eight horse race but you put up a bet at 100-1 feeling that this is the odds of the horse winning the race. The bet is matched because the horse falls. It seems your assessment of 100-1 was correct. |

By the way, does anyone remember when Thommo called the wrong faller and for around 2 minutes, several punters were crapping their pants as the horse they laid at 999-1 was still in the race?

If a match starts but is later abandoned or postponed and is not completed (i.e. 90 minutes of play according to the match officials, plus any stoppage time) within three days of the scheduled start date, all bets will be void except for those on markets which have been unconditionally determined.
Some good points on the thread , but thats the reason that for instance correct score markets cant be adjusted until the games deemed over. |

What really annoys me and what happened today.....
I laid a horse, it it fell during the 2 second delay and my automated back bet of £14.95 was matched after the horse fell at 1000.0, this gave me a green off/cash out figure of £19.94 - of course you can't place a bet less than £1 without first backing at 1000.0 for £1 (i'm sure most of you know how less than min bets work) - This made it impossible to green/cash out..... I was stuck with just £5.24 even though I still had about 2 mins to green up/cash out £19.94 - That's the dirty part, I was robbed of £13.50! Shame the odds don't go up to 100000.0 to allow punters to close of on fallers or have no minimum bet after you have already placed a bet to solve this problem! |

1000 shots do win on occasions so would always be subjective when to suspend , thinking on instances in T20 when game over but called back for a no-ball.
Also 1000 shots are used to free money up quicker in small numbered events , sounds daft but it happens. Know a couple of guys who NEVER bet but stick 1.01 up which have already cast iron won , you'd be amazed how many want to see green quicker than it's settled and quite happy to give 1% of winnings in return. |
