Anyone bet on FC Roskilde - Kolding FC?

[munk]

Bizarrely I ended up placing two lots of seperate bets a few days apart on this game in some obscure league... the match was cancelled apparently... only half of my bookies have voided the bet so far... no idea what happened... will probably only investigate if I end up losing money heh...

did you find out what the problem was in the end?

(had no bets on it hence no reply before now)

Yeah it was just cancelled because of bad weather. Gamebookers didn't cancel it until 48 hours later which is apparently in their T&C... which I kind of find a bit of a liberty to be honest... I could just envisage the game being rearranged for another date, say a week later, them keeping the bet on and the prices subsequently changing for the worse.

Just seems odd they didn't just void it as soon as it was cancelled.

Here's the email they sent:

I have checked your issue with our respective department and can
confirm
that the football game 'Roskilde vs Kolding' has been cancelled,
due to
bad weather. According to our Sports Services Rules, the following
provisions apply to suspended or postponed football events: 'Bets
are
void unless the game is resumed and completed within 2 days or at
least
80 minutes of play have been completed (winners and losers for
betting
purposes are then determined by the score at the time of
suspension)'.
That automatically means that if the game is not resumed and
completed
within 48 hours after the cancellation, you will be refunded with
your
stake.

Therefore, we cannot void this bet until Tuesday, when your funds
of
35.00 GBP will be released.

Betfair T&Cs do the same thing but for three days. Its quite standard.

Ah ok, cheers then. Just seemed a bit odd because the 3 other books I had money on this game at both cancelled/voided the bet immediately (eurobet (actually they took about 12hrs), expekt and PP I think it was).
