also the sprint races maybe the ones to cause a loss as they are fast races all closing at the end
need a rule where as no bet if 2 runners are there at the end
also need a rule that if a selection remains the favourite all the race
in theory back the likely winner should go on in the last few seconds anyway, at least the original version did - most of the time. I have had a very low odds-on fav where the likely winner bet went on before half - distance and it then got turned over right at the end.
There is a database somewhere showing typical times for races at different tracks. In theory you would have a different piece of automation for every race length at every track - certainly for sprints - and you could time it so the rule was active after a certain time eg last 1/4 of or 1/5 race in play time.
as regards 2 runners there at the end I think Dallas said to put a condition on second placed horse being over 2.00 or similar for your final bet to go on.
but its very hard to cover all eventualities ...
as regards checking to see if fav has been the fav all race that is more tricky. probably best to do it via signals - somehow ... Maybe better minds than mine can have a think
