I don't know why they didn't just forgo the print and go off the TV pictures. Far side obviously won by a large nose or even a short head.

But clearly the print is a total joke.

We don't normally allow links to external sites, but I had a read, and there are some interesting angles that the poster may want to discuss and debate here.

I have a question regarding risk and delayed start times.

I've seen PW holding open positions on markets with delayed start times. But recently, I've come to understand that when there are cock ups, such as failing to turn a race inplay, the market is settled by positions held during the original scheduled off time.

So is following the new start times not a huge risk? Especially given how often races fail to turn in play?

It's very rare that a UK&Ire horse race fails to get turned into play. Perhaps once a month on average. It's more common in non-UK&Ire racing, but still unusual, perhaps a handful per week.

When this happens Betfair will usually void any trades matched after the actual off-time, not the scheduled off-time. This is why market settlement is usually delayed, because Betfair have to wait until the official off-time is published from the track.

I swear it's more common than that. Maybe I'm just inflating due to the perceived potential damage!

Sorry James, i should have been more clear. So i meant specifically regarding SP. So using SP as a safety net would be settled at the original scheduled off time? Rather than the new time... if the race had never turned inplay?

Or would they settle SP at the new time? Let's say a 30 minute delay hypothetically.

Also puzzles me how tennis traders are so comfortable opening large positions when an injury can cause the match to end suddenly...and then you're toast. Especially with the checks on big losses etc.

Somebody always will update this thread when a UK&Ire race fails to go in-play. viewtopic.php?t=29232&hilit=errors&start=165

I don't use SP so not sure how they handle it. My assumption would have been that they calculate it based on the actual off-time rather than the scheduled or rescheduled off-time, but perhaps somebody else who uses SP can confirm either way?

[Euler]

If you have something marked at SP, it should be resolved in the reconciliation.
