Greyhounds
But just name the dog in bet slip
Saves the pain

The dog was named. I have even shown betfair the screen shot of this. On their settlement they have changed the name from original runner to the name ofor the reserve and stated bets are put on trap numbers and names are only for guidance. That's why betting with the sportsbook is not good.
That is absolutely disgusting sharp practice, the dog originally named is/should be your selection and money back on a non runner. That's shameful behaviour.
you are on the trap number
8 Greyhound Racing
18.1 General
The following rules apply solely to online and mobile bets which are placed via the Betfair Sportsbook on greyhound racing. Separate rules apply to bets which are placed on the Betfair Exchange.
For greyhound racing markets, Best Odds Guaranteed is available to all new and existing Betfair customers unless we have informed any such customer, via email or otherwise, that Best Odds Guaranteed is no longer available to him\her.
Greyhound names are displayed on Betfair’s website for information purposes only and all bets will be settled on the basis of the trap numbers on which bets are placed.
Double result concessions do not apply to our greyhound racing markets.
Where a ‘no race’ is declared, all bets will be voided unless the ‘re-run’ race takes place on the same day (in which case all original bets will stand).
All bets will be settled on the basis of the official result declared on the day of the relevant race. If the official result is retrospectively changed, Betfair will not resettle the applicable markets.
In the event that no starting prices are returned for an individual race, all bets on that race will be declared void.
Where a greyhound is withdrawn from a race or replaced by an alternative (e.g. reserve) greyhound, all early price bets which were placed on the remaining greyhounds before the withdrawal or replacement will be settled at those greyhounds’ starting prices (while all bets placed following a withdrawal or replacement will be settled at the relevant greyhounds’ early prices).
Each way starting price bets will be accepted for unnamed favourites. All unnamed second favourites are win only and, therefore, no each way betting is available for them.
