Last night, before all the withdrawals from the market, the Gold Cup ante-post turnover was well over £1M, and when I logged on today, it's now dropped to £980,000 Shocked

Has anyone got a clue what's gone on?

Also, is there an 'equigreen' calculation available, to see what my guaranteed minimum would be, where ALL the runners would return the same amount?

Duncan - no Friday session for me Sir! Wink

I even took a screensaver shot of it, as I've done over the months, so I know what stages the market starts to move next time around.

It DEFINITELY was over a million!

Nothing underhand Hugh.

We've not past the supplementary entry stage, so Betfair remove all turnover that is no longer relevant i.e. it's deemed settled.

If anything happens on race day which forces a re-run or reschedule, then the card is only rolled back to the 5 day mark...that's today

LUFC - that would seem to make sense but for the reduction to be only approximately 10% of the turnover, and considering the amount of withdrawals, it doesn't seem that high.

FWIW, I still can't really understand that plausible assumption of yours, because that money HAS been traded, so backers have lost and layers have profited.

If that's the case, then this scenario must occur on every ante-post market - has anyone ever noticed this?

It does happen on every ante-post market. Non-runner volume is removed from the total
