ye i was going to send them an email about this , but its to late now, betfair's mma coverage is terrible, even though there is not a lot of liqiudity, the ufc events have about 100k matched bets per card i'd say, i've seen more common markets with a lot less money on them.
last week they did a cage contenders market, which i had never even heard of, they offered 4 fights and 2 of them had nothing matched, and the market was up for 2 weeks, the other 2 fights had a few grand matched between them. then betfair fails to make any markets at all for strikeforce or bellator events...

Yes but they've had Strikeforce before. It looks like all MMA betting is suspended?

Just been on there and you can get henderson @ evens but ive just backed him @ 15/8 at paddy power. But saying that they didnt have any markets for the finish TKO etc like they usually do, just the win.

I have emailed Betfair at least 10 times to tell them to put bouts up on the website and it usually happens a couple of days later.  I always have to prompt them to put up the market.  The coverage is absolutely shocking and I don't understand why - the more markets they have up the more profit they can make.  It's not like we are betting against them as they just act as a conduit.  I have asked for other markets to be put up such as 'will the fight go the distance' and I have had no answer; it's like they don't want to acknowledge the question. I've asked them to put up the remaining fight on the card (Natal v Bradley) and they seem to have ignored that request.

I got an email questionnaire about how the customer service department deal with my emails and I said MMA coverage is disgraceful.  I have heard nothing back.  I want to escalate it further but don't know how to go about that.

i'll send them an email to, even when they do put markets up for it, you can only bet in play on the main card, and they mess the markets up by not closing them after a fight then voiding bets because some ppl's bets didnt get cancelled. Mischief
