You people would seriously use betfair after what they did? £23mil (ish) and all bets are void.

On the day skysports spoke to J,McCririck and he said it was in the region of £23mil, this was just after the race.
I have heard that they have done a u turn on this and are now paying out some of the bets.  I asume all the in play (29/1) will be paid but all the bets taken once the horse had won will be void.

not for the purposes of the post no - them being well fancied etc was going to impact on toiher peoples perception of them and the value that they were to win the comp, i.e 20/1 shots, not 10 times that, so stake enough to cover a free bet and or profit, then lay the rest at the more likely 20/1 ish when all the 200 or 100 or wahtever it was was eaten up!
