In January I lost 800 euro in a horce race. Tampa Bay US. I placed a bet when the horse that had a big lead was crossing the winning line thinking it was free money

. They closed the market, all was ok, but after 5 minutes, I had an 800 euro loss because of an inquiry and the winning horse was disqualified. Someone who knew it will be an inquiry layed the horse with big money and to make it worse betfair kept the markets open for ~ 30 seconds. They always suspend the markets seconds after the race finished, but not on that race.
Problem is I had a bet voided for the exact situation in the past, their reason being bets were placed after the horse crossed the winning line. This time they didn't wanted to void the bet when it was a losing bet because of that inquery

. I tried with live chat and they said it's nothing they can do.... so I moved on, but I'm done with live betting on US markets on the winning horse at small odds. For 20 euro I lost 800
