Default Unmatched Bets On Betfair

Interested to know if anyone has had anything similar happen to this. On at least two seperate occasions now I've effectively been queue jumped by others when I've had unmatched bets. The first time was a few months ago on a Barcelona match where there was less than £100 already requested at the price I wanted. I entered my stake and the amount to lay changed accordingly. When I next checked the account over £700 had been matched at that price which would have covered my stake and the £100 or so requested before me, yet only half my stake had actually been matched. I sent them an e-mail querying this but recieved a standard answer which didn't really address the issue.

The same happened a couple of days ago on the Triestina v Juventus game to be played this weekend. I requested 1.31 on Juventus (nothing had been matched at that price by this point) and only £14 had already been requested. So I was 2nd in the queue after the £14. When I next checked £1252 had been matched at 1.31, easily enough to cover my stake. But again my bet had only been partially matched. I sent another e-mail to which I've yet had no reply.

I get the impression they aren't really taking this seriously, but there has to be an explanation. The first time it happened I assumed it must be my error. But having had that experience I now keep a close watch on what has already been matched and what has been requested at any particular price on any market on which I'm betting, and am 100% sure the amounts are correct in relation to the Juventus game. Love to know if anything similar has happened to anyone else.
