Video Ref

[Simonlofc]

Maybe someone can explain, its happened again in Italy at Chievo, 1-0 they then scored a second and the market suspended then unsuspended , the game restarted while the Video ref looked into it and it was then ruled out the goal. so play was called back.
So what happens if in the time it was unsuspended someone trades out ,say the over 2.5 and it ends up 1-1. so anyone who backed unders would win, doesnt the market become unbalanced.
And what happens if during that short time the game is back in play a goal is scored?
Does anyone know?

All bets stand on the exchange whether in error or not, so I think the introduction of video ref's could present quite an interesting dimension to trading.

so when a video ref is in place in the game, the period between a goal and the outcome is a very tradeable time and not very risky

Betfair's rules and regulations state that if any bet is settled in error it will be resettled in accordance with the official result.

It happens in NBA too, infact they never suspend that...simply too many goals.

It fun(?) watching the body language of the refs and quite often you can see the monitor they're viewing, going through each viewpoint frame by frame forwards and backwards. It's when you curse the low res BF feed most and obviously the delay is your biggest enemy.

Video refs definately present new interesting opportunities.

NFL too, seen it a good few times this season where they're ready to take the extra point after a touchdown, or 1st down after a turnover, timeout is called, then seconds before the timeout is over the red flag is thrown to challenge the ruling. Quite often it's overturned and the market goes like a yoyo.
