44.8 Million p/out??

[DFK]

A system error must have occurred on b/f as £1.6 million was matched on Voler La Vedette at 29.0 which won the Christmas hurdle at Leopardstown today,needless to say they have not paid out yet!!

Surprise surprise!, it wasn't Betfairs fault!! All bets void pre-race and in play!

Customers betting in-play on this race will have seen that Voler La Vedette was available to back at 29 when the in-running market was suspended, and that a considerable sum was matched on the clear winner at that price.

An investigation has revealed that this was due to an obvious technical fault which allowed a customer to exceed their exposure limit.

In accordance with our terms and conditions, all in running bets on this race, both win and place, will be made void.

We fully appreciate the dissatisfaction this will cause many customers, and apologise for a very poor customer and betting experience.

Betfair is losing all the credability fast

Looks like some big player has been given credit and his bot has somehow gone wrong.

Did they void pre race bets or just in running, could be bad if you let your position go in play.

[DFK]

Sorry for misleading you, it was of course just the in-running market.
