Betfair sort it out. If you can see £100 available in the market then Betfair have taken the £100 from someone and it is in the market until it is taken, the other punter cancels it or the market is suspended. You definately don't have to worry about that at all.


Skybet: Used to have stupid F1 specials prices in 2006 I think. I got a bit lucky hitting them 2 or 3 races in a row. Bets were around £50.

Coral: Again 2006. Think it was Hockenheim they were top price top price on Raikonnen for pole at 12/1 or 11/1. I posted the tip on here, it was clear he would run light and he pissed it. Think that was £100 E/W. Then I remember the week after they were top price on a tennis match and I won on that because of there retirement rules and since then I've only been able to get on a couple of quid.

Both places I havent really bet with much, Skybet I think was around 10 or 15 bets
