No, market never went in play?
|
|
By:
I thought that it went in play after a delay of about 5 seconds.
Easy mistake to make with all the racing on today. |
|
By:
Nope, late suspend at the off then it wasn't in play. No delay in bet placement.
|
|
By:
yeah it did go in play after about 5 seconds of the race. but if you look at the market now it says going in play.
|

By:
Was late being suspended and not sure the in play sign was ever visible - they USED to void IR bets in those circs, but more recently have made it up as they went along.
|
|
By:
It was suspended a few seconds late but then re-opened as an idle market, and not an in-play

By:
If you mean 4:05 Salisbury - then it did.
However - may be some glitch - LATE trigger - as Market, unusually, NOT yet CLOSED. Prices moved accordingly. Tight Fit ... Last price matched: 1.01 Betfair Starting Price: 4.106833 Girl Of Cadiz Last price matched: 1,000.00 Betfair Starting Price: 9.845936 2.60 £6 2.66 £1 2.68 £5 2.70 £23 2.80 £52 etc. |

paid out on my in play bet
|

By:
The market re-opened after the off, you could bet on the race during it but it was not 'in play'. There was no bet placement delay. The last 2 or 3 times this has happened they have just paid out as normal.

Why not just leave it like that and not have the bet placement delay? Any reason why not?
|
|
By:
Because due to the delay in transmission it would not be fair - on this occasion however it was completely fair because otherwise BF would have to void all bets and lose commission.

The delay allows Betfair's bots to fleece us all, imo. |
|
By:
It has always been there though even before betfairs skimmer came in. Why is it there ?
|
|
By:
its the bots 'thinking time'
 |
|
By:
It provides an advantage to the market makers as they can cancel bets without any delay and provides a greater incentive to seed the markets.
|
|
By:
The problem here is, people use triggered betting that is designed for idle markets and not in-running, and they had their bets fire into an in-running market.
Betfair clearly state "the market will be turned in-play" and it just wasn't. |
