Betfair on Twitter on suspending the market. What a load of sh*t:

‘After a short period of trading, and following updates from the US, we again took the decision to suspend the Exchange as we do not feel it is right to provide a market given circumstances.’

Really is crazy, it's meant to be a peer to peer gambling site, BF should settle markets and that's it

Let the market do its thing

If it isn't right to continue to provide a market if a candidate is unwell then why was it right to have a market that included selections who can only become candidates under those circumstances?

Betfair don't want to incur the displeasure of regulators inc possibly Yank regulators down the line.

I wouldn’t imagine having an open betting market whilst a candidate is unwell would upset regulators?

The 2016 market had plenty of activity when there was concern about Hilary’s health.
