Betfair has written an email to me saying they have suspended my account due to he integrity of the betting on my account specifically a match played in bulgaria which had won and they have subsequently withdrawn the funds in which were gained in result of that bet and are holding these funds in credebfraud int in the amount of 38,615.22. The accusation is ridiculous if they are implying i had any control over the outcome of the result of any match that i have played. Of greater frustration is that from tips gathered from a well know betting site this was one of three bets i placed with similar stakes the other two losing, first being benfica to win and over 2.5 goals in which i lost 25000eu the second match being slavia sofia v botev vratsa the game in question where i won 38,615.22 and then straight after dinamo bucharest to win in which i lost the majority of gains from the botev vratsa match lossing aprox 33,000. I am frustrated first at the accusation and most of all that the winnings were payed to account and made available to play the dynamo bucharest game of which i may have never played if i was aware of the intend actions that betfair was going to imply on the account the false sense of these winnings made me play an amount that i may have had no intention of making if the winnings from the previous match were never to be paid. Betfairs response to this is that an investigation will be put underway and it may take several months.
My betting patterns to the two losing matches may differ slightly but it is very much in line i have bet on benfica while losing to turn around the match , in the case of the botev vratsa i have followed and back the team heavily on the win and put smaller stakes on the draw half time after being down 1.0 in the 19th min and the followed on to place bets on the win,the dynamo bucharest match is very similar in which i place a large sum on the win pre match plus live i proceed to back the team whilst losing 0.1 and again after they score and bring the match back to a tie 1.1i back them again in this case the dinamo bucharest and the benfica matches have lost and the botev vratsa game has won. My stakes in total on losing bets was in a sum of aprox 58000 eu in which my integrity is not in question but is being put in question for the 38,615 that was won in the bulgarian botev vratsa event.
What action can i take
