Leon v Tigres has ended 2-1 but you can still back over 2.5 at 1.03. I gave up trading the match early because it was suspended for 10 minutes. Looks like the monkey's fallen asleep again.
I saw that, they only unsuspended the first goal after the second goal was scored already so the graph didn't move an inch? Classic.

But thought those were supposed to be more liquid than that as the only matches on, where the hell is all the money?
It's just as well I wasn't pissed when that match was on or I would have been as confused as fuck!

Off memory, I think a goal was scored, VARed, the 0.5 market was wrongly closed and then reopened again. A valid goal went in shortly after, suspend monkey didn't know what to do and went to the toilet to have diarrhoea. I stopped trading at that point, not that I got much matched on the market.

I'm beginning to scale up on soccer now and won't be visiting Bolivia or Mexico again. But I really think the frequent and lengthy suspensions are putting traders off these markets. I've lost count of the number of times I've got a decent trade on, first I have to wait for the suspend monkey to wake up, then I have to wait for someone to take my closing trade or throw away a few ticks and get rid of it before the market suspends.

@Euler can we please get a forum swear filter that replaces the word "so**er" with the word "football"?

It's Betfair you need to tell. I only call it soccer to keep my markets database event headings consistent with Betfair's. :)

I would suggest that Schmiechel didn't have control of that ball. Imagine if a defender in that scenario had put their foot on top of the ball and then has it kicked out from under their foot.
I understand the necessity to protect keepers in that situation. But Villa did nothing wrong there. Bad decision.

Judging by what the pundits on Sky say, the rules could do with your grammar and punctuation. They look quite ambiguous to me. :)

Made a loss on a 4.5 market in Paraguay. Having had a good week, I'm now hoping another 3 goals go in and the market's settled before midnight. It's a bit of a kick in the teeth to be making a loss for the week the minute it starts. :lol:

Peter said on another thread Betfair suspends play whenever the ref farts but in Mexico they suspend every time a fan farts!

Typical Mexican match, potential red card foul on every challenge. I know I said earlier I'm no longer trading these bum leagues but I missed the best action today sleeping and there's nothing else to trade. :x

It's annoying enough when Betfair suspend markets for no reason. It's even worse when the players are causing the suspensions by their behaviour!

Just play football like you did when you were kids, with jumpers for goalposts!

I take back everything I said about bum leagues. Well worth trading if there's nothing else on. :D
