Been refused a refund as Customer Services said my BFSP bet was placed in running. All my Bets Are BFSP and i have to ring everytime
i win on this Promotion. Some They Pay some not.
So are all BFSP Bets placed in Running?
Are BFSP Gamblers ruled out of this Promotion.
Pause Switch to Standard View BFSP bets not included in Money back...

It is IMPOSSIBLE to place a Betfair  SP bet - "In-Running"
Report Big Boss January 8, 2019 1:16 PM GMT
it is determined as flag goes up, so not in play

Danny - Are you placing a WIN bet at Betfair SP ... THEN...

Placing a SAVER  - LAY - bet 'in-running'?

If that is so - and what they mean ... poorly described by both Betfair Customer Services, and You, on this thread - if that is the case   ... Then the Promotion IS Voided by the 'In-Running' LAY bet.

I find this company hopeless and have little alternative.

I have nothing positive to add to the thread.

The sad thing is it will often cost them more in staff live chat time

----------------

Again - "BFSP Bet got matched in play" ... is IMPOSSIBLE

The Betfair SP is 'reconciled (that is Betfair's official wording) the SPLIT-SECOND that the PRE-Race Market is SUSPENDED - at the OFF.

Any shortfall of funds (to Match BSP Bets) from/in the SEPARATE BSP Market - is made up/covered by the 'Cross-Matcher' BOT then using UNmatched Backs and Lays from the PRE-Race Market.

ALL this happens in a SPLIT-Second at the SUSPEND for the OFF - and is the final conclusion of BSP Matching.

they don't have the answer to your query on the answer script, and none of them have ever had a bet in their life.  so they've just reverted to making any old rubbish up in the hope that you will accept it and be on your way ...

since Paddy took over the reins, the levels in CS have gone downhill quicker than Franz Klammer on acid

then again when you are on livechat to someone operating from a portakabin in Outer Mongolia, you can hardly expect great service

I was on livechat as noticed Meydan tote listings were missing and wanted them uploaded, I had to explain what TOTE was and also explain what Meydan is and what country it pertained to, it was akin to speaking to a martian that had just landed on earth who had just walked out his spaceship

How can a starting price bet be placed in running, if I submit a bet into the market with BFSP options set into an inpplay market it gets rejected. Are you betting via the website or using some software as I think Gruss will remove SP persistence settings if the market is already in running to avoid it getting rejected.

If any of those are losers I'd ask for your money back as they were set to match at BFSP not in running. There's a completely separate persistence for in running bets.

^ It is the CLUELESS CUSTOMER SERVICES who are claiming that the BSP bets, "were placed in-Running."  - which they, obviously COULD NOT be ... and NOT the Original Poster danny.

The T&Cs for that promotion

https://promos.betfair.com/promotion?promoCode=MBSINPLAYLOSES2

include "BSP bets do not count for the purposes of this promotion."

mm well spotted LB, seems you've been banjaxed by the smallprint terms danny then had the disappointment maximised by CS. The CS is dismal though find it similar to the level of disservice, lack of basic exchange knowledge, delivered before the PP takeover, just exacerbated by even less accountability from current live chat incarnation.

still trying to work out how you explained what meydan was to them - it's like camel racing in the desert, the favourites never win ...


.... ahhh Meydan !!!

From what I know of the general lack of exchange and product knowledge of CS (excluding on Twitter, whose agents are usually pretty able), I suspect they don't know what "in running" actually means. To them it might simply mean 'during the running of this promotion'.
