Bets void in arb

Wed Nov 18, 2015 8:55 am

Hi,
Monday I made 2 arbs on French football Lens/Niort and Bourg/Paris FC between a french bookie and Betfair. All was fine, but tuesday I received a mail saying that my 2 bets on my french bookie are void because the 2 matches will be played 5 days laters, and not on the normal date. Betfair has not void my 2 bets, they just change the date of the 2 games, but the 2 bets are still active. Unfortunately, the odds have massively dropped against me >:( , so backing the opposite would mean a big loss for me (more than 30%) .
Any ideas or suggestions to get-off these really unlucky arbs?

contact betfair. i think they void bets if match not played after 2 or 3 days.

Yep I contacted betfair, they are waiting for the confirmation that both games won't be played within 3 days. In my case that should be good, because there is 4 days of delay between the 2 dates. I didn't know this rule, but logically my 2 bets should be void, once they have the confirmation.
