Anyone trade it today Southwell 15:55 ??


1st 7.Confessional 6.18 9/2F
2nd 4.The Only Boss (IRE) 7.32 5/1
3rd 5.Whozthecat (IRE) 10.00 7/1


because after the races Confessional was still available for bet for abaut 10 mintes at prices between 1.02 - 1.02 and The Only Boss for prices 41-46 i think. The problem is that the results on betfair was very clear nr.1 Confessional,and betfair radio announce it the same, but people was still trading ... I was just affraind to place a back bet on Confessional because I never see it such situation before..

Hi,

I didn't see the race but it was probably an ongoing stewards inquiry which would keep the market in-play.

If it looks too good to be true it usually is.

As has been said it was either a stewards or a photo and I think it was a stewards as it was open for quite a while.

The websites and TV channels will often put up the unconfirmed result which is what you saw/heard.

Just because they are short odds doesn't mean the result can't be over turned so I wouldn't go backing such results blindly. I would want to have seen the race myself before I were to place a bet.

Be careful as if you had backed the 1.02 & the placings were reversed you would have lost!
