Australian racing

[rik]

Should we start calling you Aussie Rik?

allround, keeep trying what im not good at, i think the big races on saturday suit me best today quite lucky

[ANGELS15]

Since the suspension of UK and Irish racing I've been looking into Australian racing and setting up automation. I've often found that If I load up say 6 or 7 markets 2 or 3 of them will become suspended prior to the race and my automation dosen't run even though the races went ahead.

Also I've found on occasions when I try to load Australian dogs in particular into guardian, as I load them they show up as suspended? This happens when I try and use the 'Quick pick'

Anyone have any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? Never really had the issues before with UK racing/dogs.

One thing I have noticed is that the aussie racing has a hell of a lot of non runners/scratchings. Whereas with the UK typically 95% of the overnight declared runners start, with the aussie ones it's more like 60 - 70%.

G'day Angel15, dog race scratchings come through quite late sometimes but other than a late scratching, no other general reason markets are suspended. Horses are a different matter in Aus. All events are suspended for 1-2 seconds between 5-10 min before the off. Main meetings it's roughly 7-10 mins whereas smaller meetings tend to be varied. Someone more knowledgeable than me will know the reason. i use 'time since market unsuspended' for all automations...

Thanks very much for the info, I'll look into it.

lined up on a string whats the chances of that unbelievable 123456 8 and 7

Hmmm what are the chances? My maths is lacking at best but it's a nice probability question, is the answer; (just for the 1-6 I've discounted the 7-8 altogether)

6^6

1 in 46656?

1 in 6! = 720.

There's a 1 in 5 chance that 2 will finish second and a 1 in 4 chance that 3 will finish third, etc.

That seeems to make more sense

Not right - it was an 8 runner race

Sorry, I can't ignore.

It was an 8 runner race.
There were 8! finishing orders possible = 40320
The finishing order 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,7 was only one of of those.
D27 said discount finishing order of 7 and 8 (which really only discounts one other possibility)

Chance of dogs 1,2,3,4,5,6 finishing 1st,2nd,3rd,4th,5th and 6th in that order in an 8 dog race is 2/40320 (completely disregarding dog ability of course)

I took "6^6" as an attempt to calculate the combinations for a 6-dog race. The important point was using factors instead of powers.

Good Friday is historically race-free in AUS, but there are 2 horse meets in WA tomorrow

I think I lost 6 out of 6 last night and called it a day. Just as well I did the way my luck was going.

It's quite depressing when you do your accounts at the end of the day and enter £0.00 for profits, before entering your losses. At least no commission to enter, can't remember the last time that happened.
