Betfair traders need a stable market to place odds on

If traders see any events that require the adjustment of quotes in a market, they can update the quotes immediately or they may need to temporarily suspend the market. On some occasions, markets are permanently suspended.

Events that affect market stability, such as lack of information accurate, penalties, goals, expulsion of relevant players, etc., can lead to the suspension of the market and generally interfere with the availability of Cash out.

Sometimes markets are left active when they should have been suspended by Betfair traders and the user can still place bets. In cases like this, all bets will be void, regardless of whether they win or lose.

Cash out may only be available in stable markets.
