The 'Can Anyone Place A Bet On The Exchange' Thread

It's a no here.

I've placed a bet, my bank has reduced by the bet amount, but the bet is not showing up.

Just another day in this hellhole.

No

No

No

Triple No - this is serious

Are we back up now?

placed a bet, it didnt go through, now balance has disappeared.

"Please wait while our Romanian CS operatives translate the meaning of 'WFT is gan on, u knuts'"

i can place the bet, balance reduces, then they vanish

"We’re sorry but it appears there are some problems with our site. Hold tight. We’re on the case."

bit weird, some races it works and some it fails

300 missing on my balance how do you contact them if you don't have twitter or facebook

So will bets be void then if it doesn't show you placed a bet try they took out the money? Cause I'm paying commissionom on exchanges, if I've placed a bet and can't cash out on it etc they're not providing the services I'm paying for therefore bet should be void?

And what makes things worse they still allowing people to bet

they will only tell you they are working on it. Usual waiting game. What a shambles.

The bets certainly have not been placed.

Anyone have an update?

They won't void because you cant cash out, cash out is not a mandatory service.

You bunch of wimps, none of this backing for a place for me. I've backed Lucky Dan to WIN!

You're talking non-sense. Other than better prices on the exchanges the point of the exchange is to scalp, hedge, cash out for profit pre game and in running and various other things. We pay commission to allow us to do those things. If I've placed a bet on the exchange and none of it is working. Even my bet hasn't been verified than my bet should be void cause they haven't allowed me to use full use of their website.

three hours and counting...

Easy apocalypse, read your terms and conditions regarding cash out and then tuck your tail between your legs and p1ss off. Bets not being accepted and not showing is completely different. Betfair reserves the right to close both the market and the cash out option AFTER taking your bet. Now pipe down.

You obviously don't know what you're talking about you clown. Probably a representative for betfair wanting a free £1 bet.

Read it chump

Betfair reserves the right to suspend or disable the Cash Out feature at any time.

Betfair reserves the right to suspend or disable the Auto Cash Out feature at any time.

Betfair may, in its sole and absolute discretion, decide to suspend betting on a market at any time (even if such suspension is earlier than anticipated by the Exchange Rules). In the interests of maintaining integrity and fairness in the markets, Betfair may also void certain bets in a market or void a whole market in its entirety.

You're so dumb I'm not even gonna argue with you. You're probably the 95% of losers Betfair goes on about.

money finally back in account.

don’t talk rubbish next time and you won’t get called out.

Bets are void. Got money back. Obviously **** like Hamlin don't know what they're talking about. Penny better. Lol.

I think he doesn't mean to "cash out" as in the sportsbook, he's talking about trading out of a bet he's had matched on the exchange and now wants to green up

the answer is still, no  … your bet will stand and they won't void it even though the exchange subsequently won't let you place further bets or lays

The answer is still no, the reason they've been voided is because of the technical error meant they weren't ever placed. Illiterates like En Sabah should read the terms and conditions otherwise they'll get their knickers in a twist next time Betfair decide to suspend a market he thinks he's "entitled to trade on". Simpleton.

Lee Hoo Fooks ,

Well said . I agree .That's the kind of post we need .

'I've backed it to win as well , but I'm even braver ,  I 've taken the betfred special price of 11/2 for it to win by 2L, with the 2nd to fall at the last, doubled with  Nico de Boinville to be named Forum Most Popular Jockey of the Year !

Unless , that is, Lucky Dan is a greyhound. Or unless, that is, Lucky Dan is a random customer at Piccadilly high streets korals.

And they offer a free bet token if the faller remounts and wins. You can't say better than that!   I've really lumped on, but Mrs echos found out
( mygooliesareontheline emojo)

Anyone else had no problems at all,
Placed bets last night and today with all seeming normal.

Yes, bet on the big bash on this iPad , then  later all seemed OK,  for me for sure not 4 hours that was mentioned earlier . maybe it was somehow desk top only?

No problems here, but the issues seemed to have been between 0800 and 1000 this morning which is not when I am generally betting.

Lee,

One of life's lightbulb moments. I would but you're a cheat.   And a gutless cheat at that !  But there's been a mistake, I want my money back..So they fixed a race risking today's equivalent of 20 million dollars, by arranging for it to finish 2nd for the place bet. Seems reasonable.
