Anyone have problems with BF on the 5.15 at Newcastle today? I had a winning lay bet on the place market that they are (currently) refusing to settle. They say that it was a losing bet (the horse came 3rd in a 7 horse race). Just wondered whether anyone else has the same problem?

Just a quick sanity check for you. Altho it was a 7 horse race, were there any withdrawn runners (which would have made it an 8-15 runner race, thus 3 places)??Dipstick wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2020 7:49 pmAnyone have problems with BF on the 5.15 at Newcastle today?

[edit] -there was a non runner: COOLAGH MAGIC, thus the above comment stands. https://www.timeform.com/horse-racing/r ... /1715/35/3
The place market is based on the number of runners that enter the race, not the number that actually run the race. I actually used to use this the other way round to my advantage, i.e. backing a place market runner where one or more horses had been withdrawn (taking it to 7 or less from an 8-15 runner race), thus stacking the liklihood in favour of a win.
Reduction factors apply (exchange equivalent to rule 4) when a horse is withdrawn from a place market (applied differently to the win market), but unlike with the bookies, the number of places doesn't change. I'd guess this is because the place part of an each-way bet is just the garnish to the main meal and are a proportion of the win odds, whereas the place market on the exchange is independent of the win market so it's fairer when you place a bet to know how many places you have.
+1 been nice start to the afternoon
