Chris Wilder return to Sheff Utd? ...again?...maybe?...
Anyone else bet on the Preston v Middlesborough game?
There was an issue with the markets and they didn't suspend on the third or fourth goals. I just got shafted out of £500 by betfair because they voided all bets placed (in match odds and OU3.5 markets) after the third goal (2.17pm) in the Preston game.
I wasn't sniping, just betting at normal unders prices between the third and fourth goals, well after the third goal went in.
Sketchy and lame to have a big winner voided.
BFCS gave me £50 bonus as compensation. I always feel that when bets are voided after the event, it rarely goes in my favour (maybe just bias!). Would my bets have been voided if there were no fourth goal and I had lost, who knows?

It's real bummer when that happens. But I think there is a tendancy to remember when it goes against you and forget when it goes in your favour, perhaps. Hopefully it will even out for you super quick.Nacho wrote: ↑Sat Sep 13, 2025 3:56 pmAnyone else bet on the Preston v Middlesborough game?

Thanks Peter, appreciate the Pep talk.
It's annoying because I've seen it happen dozens of times that the markets don't suspend on a goal. I've never seen them just void all remaining bets for the duration of the game on multiple markets. Normally they just void the sniping bets around the goal.
Difficult for them when the suspension fails though because they have to draw a line somewhere and there will always be those who benefit and those who suffer.
On to the next!
