take SP then if not matched?
?
I meant if you take Start Price all your unmatched bets as you mentioned Albury trades well right before the off.
I only use BSP for emergencies, the price you get can be unpredictable and often leaves you with an open bet instead of a green book.

Did they nab you when you returned to collect the recorder or find your favourite party mix on the other side of the tape?
lol narr, it was the std "who did it" and a bunch of snakes who all pointed at me :roll: It wasn't a huge crime, but one too many and a bit too soon after we'd changed the paint code numbers they'd written on all the walls prior to the decorators coming in. Harmless fun in gentler times, these days you're not expelled unless you've stabbed a teacher.
I got suspended for two weeks for forging a note, trying to get an afternoon off. And it was all for this: :)

They should have spotted your passion and honed it, little did they know that would be the story of your life. Doing everything you can to not be at 'work' and watching horse racing :) Ironically me being suspended for bugging screwed my exams and I didn't get to Uni...to do Electro-accoustics, aka Audio engineer :roll:

Commentator at Port Macquarie just said his pictures are delayed 5 seconds - not much use for commentary!

He should watch the in-play trader screen :) that's the fastest 'picture' there is.

Sometimes the caller can't see the starting gates for some reason so they look at the TV screen till the horses come into view

So there are no tracksiders and the in-play markets are still ahead of the real time radio call despite the 4-5 second delay on Sky vision. Think we can now officially say that there is close enough to a real time feed available somewhere, despite Sky's denials. It's not just the odd meeting that pops up on satellite too, it's every single thoroughbred and harness meeting across the country.

Don't know why there are so many trees and buildings in the way on Auzzie courses. With the exception of Newmarket which is a very large L-shaped course, I can't think of any part of UK tracks that aren't visible from the stands.

Yes someone must have an unencrypted feed. you asked Sky about it or when did they deny it?

I agree. Prices late tend to go just as the caller says something on the radio.

Curiously, the TV was ahead of the radio for quite a few races yesterday and the it was easy picking just watching the race on Sky Racing. Back to normal today, sadly.

Beaudesert and Roma are two courses I can think of where the horses go missing. And plenty of starting areas where the caller can't see.

I think sometimes it might be the huge screens they have inside the tracks, and other times they might be looking directly at the front of the gate and can't see what is happening *behind* the gate (I think this was the case earlier today)

I last asked about 3 months ago, told them that money (within reason) wasn't an issue and they said that everybody gets exactly the same feed. I pointed out that NZ Tab has a clean feed where they put their own graphics over the top and they just stumbled over their words and said you must be mistaken, despite the fact that I was looking at it at the time 😂

A clean and unencrypted feed exists but I'm buggered if I know how to get it.
