My theory:

I think someone made a small mistake in a book-making bot that made it Back instead of Lay. That could happen quite easily if you copied and pasted your Json request (for example). Then the bets that that bot placed forced up the book percentage and the bot thought "hey happy times" and fired in more bets in a viscous circle. 

Whoever it was was a massive muppet - the coding mistake is understandable but not having safeguards in place to stop it from spiralling like that is incredibly dumb.

biggest fault is Betfair didn't suspend it immediately, anyone with a brain bigger than a pea could see what was happening Crazy

the winner of the race was still being laid at big prices when it became obvious who was gonna win, my bet is betfair will suspend all withdrawals/account affected by this mess up

If it was BF, then why have they settled so quickly?

When it was VLV, the market was still suspended until the next day if I remember.

Bots have messed up in the past and BF paid out. It will continue to happen.

I guess it depends if the right information was being returned by the API.

The API was fine - see my theory above Frog.

maybe, but you'd expect some account manager is getting the roasting of his life is it's a big punter

could be one part of betfair running the bot that the settlers just didn't know had had an issue, still think if that's the case they will freeze it and then if it's bf cash they wriggle off, but if it's a punter they will be checking the t&cs are tight lol

I sincerely hope that it is a number of Bots malfunctioning and they have to pay outHappy

if your bot had been spanked by a betfair market error would you accept it rs?  they may have to but i bet there's some heated calls taking place if that's the case

racingstar - Can u please give me some more info on what happened during the race? I get the jist at a high level.  Any assistance would be much appreciated

Were API-NG and API6 both sending out the correct information about the non-runner being put back in? It seems a big coincidence that this happened on a race a non-runner appears to have been taken out incorrectly for a time.
