I don't use betfair very often, but lately I rarely see markets for the first half of matches. Has anyone else noticed this? Any thoughts?

I didn't see first half market for Venezuella 2nd League Game (Yaracuy-Llaneros) yesterday. You may be right.

Suspicious betting,manipulation and another good reason is that they lose money.As time goes on,betfair should add more markets/matches and not cancel the existing ones.

Yes they are withdrawing themselves from such leagues. Match fixing has become more eminent especially after covid issue. Right now for example Most of CZ small leagues are suspended but guys still play friendlies with a lot of betting. Same goes for every other league with suspension because of covid. So more games are fixed compared the overall games which are being played. Before covid lets say the hypothetical % was 1% of the games which were fixed. Now its like 2-3%(those are random numbers, just to make a point). So it still could be 10 soccer games on saturday which are fixed but only 100 games on saturday compared to the pre covid time where there was a thousand games. Because of less events, those suspicious games become more eminent and therefore bookmakers are adjusting.
