Just catching up on email and spotted this from Betfair: -
Football Bet Delays
We wanted to clarify the situation regarding the Bet Delays applied on our football matches across the Exchange:
Premier League
5 seconds delay for all games provided there is a radio commentary available (available for most games)
6 seconds delay for all games without radio commentary
Running Ball feed available for all games
Champions League
5 seconds delay if the match has BBC Radio 5Live or TalkSPORT commentary if the game is in the UK
9 seconds delay is there isn’t radio commentary
Running Ball are not permitted in the grounds so we use a combination of Running Ball, TV feeds and Bet Radar
Other Top Leagues
Majority of matches are run at a 6 seconds delay (approx 85%)
Championship games on UK TV are manually managed and are run with an 8 seconds delay
Only Bayern, PSG, Juventus, Roma, Napoli, Inter, AC Milan games are manually managed when on UK TV; these have an 8 seconds delay
Longer Delay Matches
These are due to there being no live score feed providers sending information from the stadiums of these leagues
Swedish Allsvenskan – 12 seconds
Turkish Super League and Division 1 – 12 seconds
Spanish Primera – 9 seconds
Segunda Division and Spanish Cup – 12 seconds
Norwegian Tippeligaen – 12 seconds
Asian Leagues (Non-Peak Time) – 12 seconds

I remember Chinese Super League matches in the Unders markets where you'd see thousands disappear from the 'back' side a good few seconds before the market was suspended for every goal scored.

I've no idea TBH.
Totally bullshit!!! Especially for the Turkish league (and possibly for the others).
I watch Turkish league 1 & 2 from the fastest pictures available in the earth and they are able to suspend the market just 1 second after a goal (or penalty, red card etc.). so there is no need to make this delays 12 seconds!
Whatever the conditions are, I dont remember any other example in the industry who sets the delays for 12 seconds including all bookmakers and betting exchanges!
Until this year, they were setting the delay for Spanish La liga to 9 seconds. This was also bullshit! Finally this year they fixed this, now all matches are 5 seconds. The markets are more exciting, more money matching and as a result they are getting much more commission!

If there weren't delays the markets would be pretty much dead as the only people winning would be people playing fastest finger first with the Betfair suspend guy for when goals went in and my money would be on anyone other than the Betfair guy to come out first. Most people want some protection against their bets being hoovered when a goal goes in, obviously 12 seconds is too large. I'd agree with it being pointless having delays for things like horse racing where the market never suspends in play but for markets like football it's a must.

Indeed, look no further than NHL and MLB for evidence. They're likely never going to be huge inplay markets, but they are completed dead, bar breaks in play. On the flip side of that, it does work for the NFL, despite game-turning plays go unsuspended.spreadbetting wrote: ↑Fri Jun 01, 2018 1:42 pmIf there weren't delays the markets would be pretty much dead as the only people winning would be people playing fastest finger first with the Betfair suspend guy for when goals went in and my money would be on anyone other than the Betfair guy to come out first.

I am sure I read somewhere that the WC in-play delay will be 6 seconds.
I asked about this today,........ME to BF "can you give me a link to the inplay delays on bet placement for football matches" REPLY from BF Helpline "Unfortunately I don't understand what you mean. Can you clarify please ?."Bet placement inplay on football matches are delayed by a number of seconds depending on leauge/country,does that help."
BF final reply on inplay bet placements delays "I have checked this with a manager and was advised that there's no specific delays for different countries. Unfortunately we don't offer this information I'm afraid . Apologies for the inconvenience. "
