Not like Betfair to be behind the curve and out of step with public opinion

I think same goes for Belorussian markets as well, but they're allowing all previous bets to stand.

I had some partially matched bets on the Krasnodar-Ural match a few days ago after it kinda popped up on my radar, didn't realize it was a Russian match at first. They suspended the market and annoyingly allowed all bets to stand, leaving me hanging, hence my BF CS thread yesterday. A bit lucky that the selection with the most green ended up winning but it could have turned out pretty bad.
