Please could someone tell me the best course of action when BF goes down just before in-play i.e. I have at £500 back bet on a horse 5 mins before the off. Thank you kindly for any advice.

you need to have a funded account in a different betting exchange to lay off your bet

They also have a telephone betting line. Programming it into your phone might be an idea. You will need your TAN also.

From the Betfair website:

Our UK telephone betting number is 0844 871 5000 with a minimum unit stake which is generally £50.

Our UK Minbet telephone betting number is 0844 871 5555 with a minimum bet: £2

Our Irish telephone betting number is 1-800 944 000

Every customer automatically has a Telephone Account Number (TAN), which is required to access your account over the telephone. You can find this number by clicking on “My Account”, and viewing the “My Profile” tab. At the bottom of the page is your TAN. You will be asked for your TAN by the broker when you call to place a bet. You may also be asked security questions when using this service.
