Unfortunately only made £45 the rest of the day, as I certainly wasn't going to put anymore money through in case BF went down again.
Overall, the lost is pretty insignifcant £184 or so in the grand scheme of things. In fact, with other stuff this week I should still end up with a small profit.
They really should void bets on markets where you can't access them. It's just not cricket !! - in fact it is pretty immoral really. I don't mind foregoing any profits in situations like this - in fact the 2nd horse which only lost by a neck would have won me £100. I would have willingly given this up, had the situation been different.
Anybody had any really big losses - just to make me feel not so bad about it all !!
Hi KESIMKESIM
you have my sympathy and understanding...
When I protested about the Premium Charge on top of everything else
the guy (supposed manager) basically told me if I don't like it then clear off
elsewhere! When I gave him counter arguments to everything he tried to justify
he actually became quite angry - at which point I politely found a way to end
the phone call - I felt he was on the virge of actually banning me?
You would hardly believe some of the crappy excuses he came out with?
Also regarding your unfortunate loss I have on a few occasions had unavoidable
losses of £30ish to £80ish pounds but I know for sure the MOST that a
sudden Betfair interface crash ONCE cost me well over £300 - can't remember
exactly but it was about £320? Since then, about 18 months ago I have been
much more careful.
This won't get your money back but it may at least help you feel better?
Ttfn - Have a good day - Michael
