thaught i would bring this discussion up,
been a big debate on the betfair and MSE forum.

the MSE forum - is for a bunch of penny pinchers (i sometimes give it a read :) ). anyway - someone there had the bright idea thinking they could duch lay every selection in the 'first to score market' @ a 60% book (or whatever it was - eventually nocking it down to a 100% book). however the dumb :censored: 's didn't read the rules which state.
bets on players that do not take part in the will be voided
so laying the the likes of Henry, Ljungberg, Kalou etc...... will result in void bets (and no winning lays). yet as they were laying at such underound the screen was green all round - so no liability, and they could bet £thousands showing a green screen but in reality, racking up serious liability (going deep over there account balance).

not sure how betfair are handling it but doing this will result in negative account balances (not legally recovarable). so why do betfair to continually allow this sort of thing to happen? it has going on ever since betfair started, will be usefull to hear the outcome. though betfair will probably just take a hit.

Any negative balances will be recouped from future deposits. The only way round it may be to set up a second user account (which is against Betfair rules and may result in other problems).
