Need help with what just happened please ... The 13.33 at Towcester.. on my screen at least, the market went in play and stayed in play until a minute after the finish. I was able to trade and match bets after the race had finished at seemingly pre off prices . it seemed like a glitch or something can anyone advise? for example i matched lays at high odds after i knew who had already won. I was of course tempted to put my whole bank roll on it but chickened out as i wasn't sure what was happening.. the bets are still open i take it they will be discredited?

Most likely Betfair will retrospectively void any bets matched after the official off-time.

Look in your void bets list.
