I thought that it would be easy to find this information without raising a new thread, but can't see it anywhere. Apologies if it's out there (which it must be)

Would just like clarification re : in-play racing delay:

1) Does the delay apply to a straight 'kill bet' command, as distinct from a fill-or-kill bet?
2) Using fill-or-kill, does the kill-time countdown start from when the rule is triggered, or from the end of the delay? Would, say, a racing in-play bet with FOK parameter of 1.5 seconds have exposure of 1.5 seconds, or just 0.5?
Thanks, All.

My strong expectation is the kill time starts from when your offer hits the market at the end of the delay. So in your example the offer would be open for 1.5 secs.

Thanks, James - that's always been my assumption. Not wishing to sound ungrateful, but is there a definitive answer out there, anybody?
And what about the kill command - does a delay apply to this?
