Not in play

FFS. Another one.

put Charles Town in-play instead. If you pay peanuts.....

What is going on at Charles Town with the market?

2nd race at Charles Town already in play. Only the 15 minutes until the off.

Just saw that at Charles.

Now Gulfstream R5 ffs

8.02 Gulfstream not put in-play

yep

made a complaint on 29th august about mismanagement of usa inplay races and got this response
The Saratoga market was confirmed to have been suspended early.

Our team have confirmed that whilst there were issues on the USA markets, they are aware of this and have advised that this issues should not happen again as this was due to internal technical failures.

dont think they have kept there end of the bargain sadly........

Their excuse is simply bobbins. These are issues that have happened ever since they started putting US in-play. Problems seem to be getting more regular though.

Tonight's shocker is getting Remington off-times wrong by an hour.

9.44 keeneland 1 mile 4 race market managers decide to suspend after three furlongs inplay ?

Gone to sleep tonight.

Two races in a row not in-play at all. Plenty earlier were a good couple of furlongs late in-play. Sub-standard again.

Well R3 at Remington tonight takes the ultimate piss. Put in play as the winner crossed the line.

Not the first race tonight.

And the incompetence continues. Two more races the same, now put the wrong race in-play and suspended one that hasn't even started.

First race at Mountaineer tonight.

Together with the continued complete mismanagement of the football markets, I'm completely questioning my sanity why I'm still trying.

Sounds like a bit of a shambles. No live stream for mountaineer tonight either.

Asleep at the wheel.

Like race 10 gulfstream tonite  - wtf is it?

1st and 3rd races now at Mountaineer tonight.

How can anyone be so incompetent, so regularly?

Muppets.

Even bigger muppets.

Zia R8 put inplay 10 mins too early, then suspended.
Penn R1 not put inplay at all.
Zia R9 didn't see exactly what happened, but looks like wasn't inplay for the full race?

Penn R2 not put inplay at all!

Zia R9 was merely suspended about 3 seconds before the line.

The rest is just absolutely abject. I don't know how they manage to get worse each day, but they do.

Neither of the first two races at Penn are even yet suspended. But there was next to nothing wrong for the last race at Zia. Doesn't make any sense to me.

Oh. And they were quick to settle the sportsbook markets.

Darlo, as a Bantam, are you aware of the Bad Boy Chiller Crew?

Oh look, someone who knows what they're doing a bit arrived!

1. No.

2. And yet, any said person still can't work out how to settle a market. Like I said, abject.

Where is best place to find off time for Penn R2?

Bet365 lists as 23:29:59.

Hope that helps you.

OK many thanks,could you post R2 as well, cheers.

That was R2!

Anyway, for completeness

R1: 23:02:33
R2: 23:29:59
R3: 23:57:36

Sorry, yes, R1,left the room and missed watching it ir, have some bets settled  others not, can't see time bets were placed in settled bets ( voided)  tab.

How do I see that info  now?

Cheers, for off times Darlo.

Not sure about that question. Whenever I've tried recently to find void bets, Betfair seem to just eradicate them entirely so I can't check stuff myself.

Yea I have  voided lays that were put on pre off,on the runner up, suppose yuou just have to trust they have settled correctly.
That race caught me out, I watched it from before turn but it wasn't trading properly so Market was all over place.

Anyway we move on.

I had lay bets matched at 11.29pm, before the off as verified start time was 23:29:59, one bet was paid out as a winning lay but the other was voided? All lay bets showed as matched at the time the race started, how can this be acceptable? I'm currently waiting to see if the remaining £49 winnings will be paid as the market is under review 2 hours after the race? I've been using the exchange for 12 years and never thought it possible that a winning matched bet can just be voided?

Looks like they just cancel everything after advertised or actual off time?
Everything before that stands, tbh I complicated with having some late bets,was still betting mins after it finished, lol, and not even on winner.
I backed pre off and had ir lays that were matched but I lose, and as I was trying to back runner up at a big price in the run I feel like I have lost twice.

Bedtime.

Voided bets can be viewed in the 'Exchange Betting History' tab. Select 'Voided - closed markets' from the relevant drop-down menu. For markets that were never put into play Betfair should settle all trades made before the actual off time and void any trade made afterwards. Where they get the actual off-time from and how accurate that is I don't know.

Yes they can be viewed, seen as voided but not whether they were matched, then voided, so no the bet details are not there.

Bottom line is if they don't put it in play your fckd.

Waiting an hour for them to suspend the race they didn't put in play is very poor, if I make a mistake I take it on the chin, if bf make a mistake I also take it on the chin.

My chin is sore, but overall they do a good job, the machine has been kind of late and ain't really complaining, but an hour to notice is a bit much imvho.

If they are under the 'voided' drop-down then they were matched and later voided. If they are never matched they appear under the 'lapsed' drop-down.

They've forgot Woodbine is on tonight

You have one job. Barely anything on at all across the entire site, and put the wrong race in-play. Muppets.

Delta Downs Race 8, ye fell asleep at the wheel. And it was all going so well tonight!

Clearly gone on strike tonight.

Fell asleep I reckon haha

They managed to suspended a harness race from NZ at 1.40am so God knows what they are doing. Shambles.

Last few days it seems to be the norm, rather than exception, that races are put in-play way after the start. Race at Golden Gates there put in play as they went over the line.

Clearly they've completely stopped putting the markets in-play!

Another day where they're not bothering with the markets then.

same again this evening..

Happened for a half hour stretch last night (Belmont Stakes night)
and now we've had, tonight, the last 5 races not put into play.

Worrying trend

Not just not in-play but still in a state of flux 30 minutes after it's started. Awful service.

Looks like the whole site has fallen over now.

Fallen asleep at the wheel tonight! Shambles.

Wakey wakey

That's four races tonight in total from the US by my count not put in play so far.

Yes one earlier and 3 just now, he's having a good nap.

School holidays. Work experience in charge of the markets?!

I won £800 on that race...until i didn't.

Thats great 500 quid on Just Relax at Tampa, had been wondering where the **** my winnings were, "voided". joke.

All bets would've stood before the race though no?

They're never going to pay out in-play bets matched during the race. The pre-off liquidity is still live, and you will be able to match thousands easily. They will usually settle any bets matched before the official off time and void anything matched after that.
