Welsh Open Bowls

Welsh Grand Prix.  Sorry about that.
1st set Hogg

could greenslade play any worse

He's having a mare.  Decent by Hogg though.

no point betting in the harlow match as its not been turned in play as they are liable to void bets placed after 1.00pm.

ha ha market suspended as i typed oddly though earlier they had the start time as 1.00pm which was correct,i notice now its set at 2.00pm in the market rules something a bit fishy imo going on here are they trying to cover themself for missing the correct start time and not turning in play?

The £1k+ bet on Harlow went through after I had informed them that the match had started (Harlow was 3-0 up by then).  Unfortunately, the helpdesk kept me on the phone for 5 mins or so, while they kept checking and disagreeing with me before it was reported to Market Ops.
If it is now turned in play, the bet will stand as per their rules.

crazy how betfair keep banging on about protecting customers etc, then allow things like this to happen time and time again.
it's just a sheer laziness rule because they don't want the grief of finding exact start times, voiding bets etc.

hi 1.01 layer my point is they had this match as starting at 13.00 hours earlier which was correct.after they failed to turn in play this time suddenly changed to 14.00 in the rules tab.further to that they had the price match as starting at 14.30 now showing 15.30 and ross match now at 17.00 it was 16.00 earlier i belive the earlier times they had up first were correct.so i dont think we will get any betting on the bowls done today,im on the wta tennis because of this.

curly they had correct start times but failed to turn in play which left bets up that should have been cancelled at start time i guess.

now they have moved price burnett match back to 14.30 where it was before lol,at least its right now,hopefully they will turn it in play

Hi scarecrow.  When I called at about 1.10 the helpdesk said it was a 2pm start, although my page said 1pm.  We can only guess as to how they managed to make such a hash of it.  Better luck later.

ffs i give up bbc2 wales now showing highlights

You know 3sixfive have it on live vid.

thomson looks a fair price to beat spud marshall who has a rotten record in wales and has looked a shadow of his former self over the last couple of years in singles on the indoor rinks.

it looks like the order of play has been switched with hogg v royal being the 10.00am game.

Thompson starting well. Not sure I'd call this yet.  Looking for some IP value.

Don't often see a 4.  Marshal taking it by the horns.

i could stop trains marshall wins in wales against the world champ

Did well, Thompson should have nailed it, though.

Not looking good for Wong.  Harlow 9-0 up after 3 ends

18-0 and the first set after 6 ends. What you might call a rout.

the morning match was a cracker between king and hogg,king won on tie break but hogg looks here to stay in the top echelon of bowls i reckon in the future.

Very impressive from Hogg.  A real contender.

1.01 ,curly if your about be careful this afty as the site is very unstable you may end up trapped in a position as it might crash imho.

Thanks scarecrow.  I heard API has been having problems today but seems ok to me so far.

cheers scarecrow

had to use the beta site this morning to cancel some bets - not ideal

good luck this afternoon

haven't done much bowls this year, on the tennis mainly this week

the beckham of bowls old goldenbowls himself in turmoil in set one.

his hectic lifestyle of chip shop openings and his recent big 'just for men' contract taking it's toll on the great man

gourlay a worthy winner of the final.
