Sorry if this is not the right place for the topic, but as it involves the Monaco Grand Prix, I saw this as the more obvious place for it.
Yesterday I had Alonso backed to be on Pole Position. I was gutted at first to see Schumi post the great time (and his subsequent behaviour) but chuffed when I heard that he had his times removed, so expected Betfair to pay out on Alonso being on Pole.
When they still hadn't paid out on this today, I dropped them an email asking when it would appear on my statement.
Their response was:
My discussion point here with them, is that the FIA stripped Schumi of his times, and hence he could not be on Pole, but placed at the back of the grid, and liken this to a stewards enquiry on a horse race.
The question here is, am I right in my reading of the situation, or are Betfair just being a bit awkward as they have probably already paid out to those who backed Michael?
