I have to say, betting on the tennis for most of January on Bet563 seemed much safer - I didn't have to concern myself with the risk of a player retiring and so was able to bet larger amounts.

which makes me think that that Betfair would gain, not lose money, if they voided all bets on matches won by retirement as people would stake more.

By:

Andujar just retired after losing first set 2-6

betfair should be able to void all bets after the player announces retirement, it should be clear from the market when this happens. Don't have an issue with losing money on a player who retires but it is massively unfair to allow the fastest to hoover money after retirement has been announced.

+1 if player retires all match odds should be voided imo
|

By:
I was told the fastest to hoover money after retirement is betfair themselves hence the 5 sec bet in play delay,im not
sure if this is true but if it is then everyone here is wasting their time... |

he would be seething even more sitting on big green and the loser retires @2-6, 2-5 0-30*
 |

By:
you can also win when a player (opponent) retires, so i don't mind it. Same for everybody. Hoovering is the problem. Worst i've ever seen is Ons Jabeur in Baku this year, she was 6-3, 4-1 up at 1.01/1.02 and retired. there was talk of a fake injury as she didn't want to play an Israeli (Peer) in the next round.
|
|
By:
No. Like the rule. As someone says - same for everyone. At least you're not wasting your time for 2 hours when there is a retirement in the final set.
|
|
By:
assuming a lot of people are traders here, why would you want all your hard work ruled out by a void?
|
|
By:
betfair are not going to void an entire market and lose all their commissions. It is ridiculous to suggest that betfair do this.
|
|
By:
I suppose it is same rule for everyone.
|
|
By:
its annoying when you lose out to the rule. i haven't gained from it yet.
|
|
By:
Lmao don't you guys get it?
With the retirement rule the way it is it means that every time 1 set of any match is completely Betfair GET commission. Why would they want to change it? No chance! Sure I totally agree that it's arguably even unethical of them. But hey, they're a business after all and out to make money. |
|
By:
it should be one ball.
with the advent of in play betting and the myriad ways a tennis player could contrive the result, the original justification for voiding if the first set isn't completed seems redundant. i'd be interested to know what difference this would make to any arbers, i don't they have the same sway as the big lot of the cricket who got the match tied rule changed. |
|
By:
Arbers will have different methods and therefore different preferences, but I would have to reduce my turnover a bit if they changed to one ball since the majority of books I use are either one set or void.

Match completed market.

A possible better than 1000-1 double on Del Potro and Ferrer this week before their retirements. Albeit they both retired at two very different points - Devverman was just over 2-1 at the point of Delpo's injury.
