As im new, i guess this is the right place.
US horse racing doesnt go 'in play'. Is this right/normal?

Some US racing goes in play, but most does not.

From memory : Keeneland, woodbine, turfway, aqueduct all go in play. The liquidity on some is awful though so i wouldnt be relying on in play for anything. If you think you have something you wanna try out that is specifically inplay use VERY low stakes.

We all make mistakes, but another "classic" from Betfair today, failed to turn Tampa R11 in play. I watched the race - it finished but was still "going" on Betfair for at least a few more minutes after the winner had saluted, in fact it went long enough for a full replay to be run (which is perhaps what confused the poor chap(or chapette) from Betfair designated to keep an eye on it. Even more bizarre, the winner didn't trade down to 1.01 - :shock: , but got stuck at 1.12 with plenty of money around for other "chances". In some ways shows that the bots battling it out against each other are oblivious to the real world. Still might have led to an ugly result, given Betfair eventually resettled the market.
