stewards bev

given its a neck probably stands imo

out

hogan unbalancing the 2nd all the way up the straight then the winner comes across to finish the job

morons closed the market

sure  to be disq

m
ust be dq

bing bong goes...

betfair settler settles 30 seconds later...

complete and utter bonkers...

do these folk have any sort of clue...?

Settled here

more cert than newbury wazza ?

absolute fking clowns settling that market so fast

Suspend monkey goes home at 5pm.

r soles delay in closing the mkt in case there's a stewards, the bing bong goes you think it's about to open but no.

clowns

where's the fkin market gone

1.4 to go, no thanks

I don't think the second would've won, but I do think it will be reversed

they can't even say 'we closed before the bing bong went'...

absolutely shocking stuff...

The fools must cost their company fortunes over a year with their incompetence.

Kitty's cove was idling and well on top and came from behind the 2nd.  No chance Deposit would have won without the interference. However, the recent high profile given to interference and stewards enquiries means it will probably go.

could go anyway, no way is it a 1/2 shot to go

james is there a market for this?

specials

looks a good bet to go at 1.5 but I don't play em except to green up

Closing the market makes them money - punters can't offset their commission.

Betfair know exactly what they're doing.

looks more a 4/6....6/4 to me

Unreal that they've settled the market. Pitiful incompetence

I'm on Kittys Cove what are my chances

lay off lol

i don't even look at that 'will it keep the race' market...

normally a complete and utter waste of time...

28k matched so far

2 bmps and 8yds left and nck..has to gan shirley.

Can't find the meerkat though

it's in Specials Virgin, and Kitty is 2.7 to keep the race

im just on the amended side but more because of the carry across the track than the bump

I think it would have kept it a month ago but because of the racing tv high profile given to such incidents they are more likely to throw it out.

They think they know what they're doing but the liquidity is far lower in the specials markets so new players cba.

Found it

https://www.betfair.com/exchange
/plus/horse-racing/market/1.170138632?nodeId=27088631

and Kitty was matched down to 1.01 inplay

The 2nd helped the winner to keep from running off the track so hard to say the first past the post would definitely have  won.

Yes
2.8 waiting to get matched

^^it was matched at that before it idled and bumped - it was much higher close to the line

The 2nd should be given the benefit not the winner given the circumstances.

yes Dave, 1.5x as it crossed the line

I take your point, but not only do betfair keep all the commission from the original market, but they get a whole new lot from punters like Virgin, laying off. They'd lose all of that if they kept the original market open.

I know that, i just think that they don't make more.

yes screaming, double bubble for BF this way

still not settled Rosscommon...

yet they settle beverley 30 seconds after a stewards is announced....

work that one out please...

Betfair can just do what they like. What is there to stop them?

amended ii assume

amended

ta

1.01 gubbed

the commission they will make from the 'will it keep the race' market is pennies imv...

it's bonkers settling plain and simple...

We'll never know for sure, dave. But after 20 years of profit, betfair should know by now which one does better for them - original market or new market.

No financial interest but I honestly think that's a terrible decision.

Betfair have effectively had an extra tenner outa me
Less the £4 PC

I would hazard a guess that 99% of punters wouldn't even know about the To Keep It markets

well they don't do it all the time only when an idiot is managing the market not a genius

did you get matched virgin?

Betfair will simply lose customers in the long term but these companies never think for the long term.

wd again willie..you're rarely wrong.

ty willie.

unlucky virgin

How do we know it's not the idiot who lazily just re-opens the original market? It might be the genius who's the one who closes it and sets up a new one to rake in more commission.

correct dave1357...

corret sparrow...

the winning distance was a head, not a neck as stated by one of the earlier poster .In an enquiry that makes a big difference.

its all managed by a human..dats why pencils have rubber at the top..nothing to gain by closing market.

just a terrible ride and gave them no choice. David Allan had plenty of opportunity to switch whip and try correct her
