# Why do I sometimes receive a bet\_cancel message instead of a bet\_settlement message with void factor?

A bet\_cancel message is sent when we can’t settle a market as voided for the whole time frame. As an example; a producer offers a market in error on an event, but then a live producer correctly offers the market. This means that the first producers can’t send a bet\_settlement with the market voided.
