One of the staff confirmed it, so they're behind the scenes trying to figure out what happened I guess. Well hear from them soon

i think it should go to ched or bookie manager instead of kop. i think he handles bookie 2.0 fixes and stuff but not issue.

I believe it happened due to changing start time from betfair api. I didn't find real start time. The last time which was set is 21-00 TCT. Is it correct time when the fight started? I see that all bets were made before 21-00 TCT.

Dude I placed my bet a lot after that. Also he had literally lost before I even got to see the fight.

the game is already on its way to 7th round by the time 21-00 TCT.  And the game ended around 40 sec after. (ended at round 7th) And the bet is still open during the whole game for one hour.

The game should start 20-00 TCT.  not 21-00 TCT

 i bet there is also some kind of indicator in the api that tells if the game is live or not. would be surprised if there isnt
it is pretty common in boxing when they have multiple fights scheduled for same event that the fights might start earlier than scheduled, if fights before end faster than expected.

This is how Betfair would handle this situation:

For everything other than horseracing and greyhound racing, if a market is not scheduled to be turned in-play but Betfair fails to suspend the market at the relevant time, then:
  • if the event has a scheduled 'off' time, all bets matched after that scheduled off time will be void; and
  • if the event does not have a scheduled 'off' time, Betfair will use its reasonable endeavours to ascertain the time of the actual 'off' and all bets after the time of the 'off' determined by Betfair will be void.
This info can be found from Betfairs rulebook - https://www.betfair.com/aboutUs/Rules.and.Regulations/#rulespartb

TL;DR: Bets made after match really started should be void.

Ok, we will void all bets after 20-00 TCT. If money were withdrawn, we will return the difference. In the other cases, we will refund money
