    what does an unmatched bet mean? Some of my bets have gone through but one hasnt. Is this because of the odds being really high?

    Hi,
    I placed a bet last night using the grand national quick bet. The bet is showing as unmatched but I cannot delete or change the details. If I click on current bets they all show. They also show in my bets. Have a made a mess of it?

    Thanks

    What I would do! Go to the grand national betting page and on the right hand side there is "Place bets", "My Bets" "Rules" "Help"

    Click on "My bets" and your bets should be there. And above this it should say "the following bets were successfully matched"

    Sorry but I don't understand this unmatched thing at all.

    Hi Guys

    Little bit stuck!! I have placed my bets to win. But can't figure out if the bets have been matched or not!

    If I click on the grand national and look under current bets (ticking the option for cluster unmatched bets (bottom right) it states 'you have no unmatched bets on this market.

    However if I go into my account and click on current bets - all are showing as unmatched?

    So what are they matched or unmatched, and if they are unmatched I can't see the box to tick to cancel the bets!

    Any help appreciated before I end up bald - i'm tearing my hair out here!!!

    Thanks in advance

    Refer to my post just above this one.

    There is no tax on betting nowadays! Shows how long its been since you had a bet.

There are so many loopholes for them in their terms and conditions that they get you every way. It's also very complex to get your money out of the account; they debit your bank account straight away to place funds in the Betfair account, but it takes over 5 days to get any money out of the Betfair account.

    Be warned!!!!!

    No!

    Only in exceptional circumstances, even then I don't think they would.

    Oh well, just have to hope that 1 of the 5 horses win then :D

    Was that the code starting C something? that is what I left in. I really hope I get my money.

    Thanks
    I used a CT code that came up going through Quidco, and I've already got my £25 refunded, so you should be fine Lilly.

    Hi Lalamb

    I have done is it states :-
    Bet Status: Starting Price (SP) bet odds and profit will show when the event starts
    Starting Price (SP) bets
    Your SP odds and profit will display at In-Play

    Any ideas if my bets are matched or if indeed they need to be matched if you have placed them to win?

    Any help greatly appreciated
