Might void it in about a weeks' time if previous posts are anything to go by...

In my experience failed in-play markets that go straight to suspension usually never get settled, just straight to void within about 30 mins. Markets that flash into in-play before suspension have about a 50/50 chance of being upheld despite the failed in-play with those to be voided usually resettled sometime in the coming 12 hours, but can be up to 7 days later. If you are balls deep in either green or red then it's time to hold on to your hats!

Eventually turned inplay when they crossed the line and curiously, you could bet on the favourite which had already won.

Watching the markets when this happens is fascinating as it exposes the vast quantity and volume of bots going on in every race.

I agree

Betfair website down

Why is a CPL T20 market suspended in-play? I'm sure this is the biggest market on betfair at this hour. (20 mill)

API is now down as well

Site is suffering outage. API still working but they have suspended all markets currently in-play or about to go in-play.

FFS right now folks are being SHAFTED

[Derek27]

The API status page was claiming everything was operational but now the page itself is down!

Richard from CB's interview looks like a right paper pusher now, no credibility.
