Matt Posted 28 December 2011 Posted 28 December 2011 CONFUSION reigned among Betfair punters after near-incredible in-running betting on the Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown on Wednesday resulted in what should be a near-£23 million payout. A monster sum of £1,642,094 was matched in running at a price of 29 (28-1) on the winner Voler La Vedette with her price failing to drop as she crossed the line four and three quarter lengths in front of Mourad having been sent off a 13-8 chance and never out of contention. That sum however was only a fraction of what the potential liability could have been with Betfair's graphics (above) showing that there was over £21.3m offered on Voler La Vedette - which would have resulted in a whopping payout of almost £600m. Betfair issued a statement at 2.48pm which read: "The win and place markets on this race are currently suspended. "The markets will remain unsettled while we investigate the in-running betting patterns on this race. We apologise for the delay." Betfair later Tweeted to say: "Update to follow once issue fully investigated." http://www.racingpost.com/news/horse-racing/leopardstown-voler-la-vedette-punters-left-in-dark-over-betfair-mystery/968454/top/ Anyone lucky enough to get money on it?
