I think the place market was around 430% earlier!https://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/23572882/simple-question-for-some?post_id=422160254#422160254Thats right.If 45 ask to run then 5 have to come out (based on the racecard number I think) and layers would have to refund bets on those 5 leaving their book most likely under 100%.

If trainer declares horse, but its 41st on the list, its money back for AP backers, if its not declared then classed as a loser.https://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/23572882/simple-question-for-some?post_id=422160246#422160246Correct.

The book is really less than 100%.GLhttps://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/23572882/simple-question-for-some?post_id=422160234#422160234Careful buddy, I fell into this trap when I first started out!Some horses will apply to run but will be "balloted out" and the layers will have to refund the backers.

If your horse is a non runner its classed as a 'runner' for the purposes of an AP market - hence the sometimes bigger prices.https://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/23572882/simple-question-for-some?post_id=422160226#422160226in short, its sh!t or bust.
