The issue convoysur-2 is complaining about is that Betfair didn't void the bet he placed in accordance with their rules.
Personally, I'd rather they just stopped managing goals/VARs if they can't do it properly and let all bets stand. At least that way we'd all know what the situation and risk is.
Ah, OK. Sorry but I must admit I am not sure of the details around such an event because I have only been caught out once. I would have thought they should void all bets from when the goal 'was scored' and VAR overturning it.
Or perhaps the rules should be based on the referee's decision, not VAR. In the aftermath of a goal awarded by a ref, lots of people will be making other bets based on the supposed goal and left high and dry if VAR overturns it.
There is a caveat here that we all now know this can happen, so we should factor that eventuality into what bets we place.
Maybe the solution is as simple as, if the ref awards a goal, its a goal in terms of the bets placed.
Who loses if we ignore VAR?
Gets more complex with under/overs but that's not my problem.
