someone put a lay of 22m on a horse at 29s inrunning (horse started race 2.9 2nd fav) left the lay all the way up to the line horse won, only around 800k was matched =22m payout.
if all the money was matched would have been around a 550m payout.

explain to me how a horse at 2.9 2nd fav can push out to 29s in running? did its leg fall off?
and what did the guy stake because hes either in on the scam or about as rich as me -

That would never get matched on any betting site (simply not enough money in any market to get matched for the full lot)

I've laid a horse at 500/1 in running that as started a race at evens many times.
 
did very well to only get 800k matched???? r u mad the horse romped home and the lay was still up at 29s till it suspended at the line, lucky it didnt get took for more.

I really don't get betfair - so how much did he put on the line, in essence what was his bet?
 
So if the horse hadn't won, would the punter have lost the entire 22m? I don't get Betfair at all.
