I dislike 365.

They made a mistake with their scoreboard in a snooker match recently and this reflected in the wrong odds for the match. Rather than voiding my bet when they spotted the mistake, they changed the odds of my bet from something like 1.7 to 1.05 which was totally incorrect odds for the match and said the bet stands.

i remember a football match in b win long time ago, portugal league.

Home team scored but they put the goal into away side, people was backing the away side to win (the goal was late in the match) and b win never voided that...

funny times!

that's why the fine print on b365 (and most if not all other bookmakers) says they take no responsibility for their scores

... and why should they but to change the odds is disgraceful.

I dont think there were any. Because if there were they would have got those 1.79s when the match was won.

looks like nobody was on court for this match... a match with 6-3 6-2 and 1.9 was avaliable on croatia in the second set...

I think some of  365s odds are automatically calculated from the scoreboards now without human intervention. Certain sports do have incorrect odds (not mistakes, but wrong probabilities - ice hockey for one).

If there were people betting courtisde we probably would have known way earlier that something was wrong ;)

if there were people courtside betting that remainding £3 at 1000 would be long gone

I'm pretty sure an similar thing happened in a similar tournament a few years ago. Market was left open and the official website reported the wrong result - winning player was matched at 1000 and losing player at 1.01. I can't remember what Betfair did though.

Betfair paid out. They have never not paid out except for the Davydenko match, I think?

might be a foolish q..but for sites likes bet365 etc..Who determines the odds at each given moment..Is it just a room of bookmakers who just sit there for each match and put the odds up...I never understood who makes the changes?

Not involved but think Betfair will settle and Bet365 will void, or at least use palpable error rule to adjust odds, although as pointed out above, much fairer to void.

Would be surprised and a little worried if Betfair decide to void, would open a massive can of worms.

Would like to see it voided but i guess they are trying to find the exact time the match finished and void all bets after this time.
By:

Maybe, thats probably correct

They can't do that Diddydave as it is an unmanaged market.
