Nope - a mystery

Very late, had a speculative 18s up, didn't seem to break the stalls that late.... Someone traded 999-1 as well, someone has burnt fingers...

i can't remember a 9/1 shot going off at that price on here and winning
Report askari1 June 17, 2010 4:37 PM BST
The horse was weak in the market, perhaps b/c of the draw. It had traded out to 14, then in to 12 and fluctuating. It was v. strong in the shops this am.

Obviously primed for the race, went clear with another last time when not fully wound up, to my mind the likeliest winner...and it goes off over 20s!

Crazy! Some v. unlucky person has lost a lot of money IR and w/ this pre-race drift

Very strange. Traded at 13s a few seconds before the off so where 25.5 came from no idea.

are they allowed to change the sp from the 25.4?
Report Muqbil June 17, 2010 4:45 PM BST
These sp's can be sooo frustrating. Last time I left an sp bet up, was matched @ 4-1, industry sp was 6-1.

Maybe there was a huge sp lay that cleaned out everything at the off (lead to the 1,000 matched? ) as there was 97k matched at sp?
Report elise June 17, 2010 4:47 PM BST
wonder if this is an error, especially as not settled

Hmmmm, got a feeling that winners at BSP will not be paid out at 25.

Hills has done that before at Royal Ascot in a big handicap. I remember Showboat getting beat as fav a week or so before winning by some 8 lengths in the Hunt Cup at 10/1. How many burnt their fingers the other week on Ransom Note and didn't get it all back with interest today?

lol

When I complained about an sp that was more than 2pts below industry sp was told it was symptomatic of low liquidity markets. Clearly not seen as a premier customer :(

Bf shd honour the bets clients see on their screens.

I traded off IR after my bet at 19 was engulfed. There is no way I wd have rushed back into the market w/ the horse in touch on the far side if my screen did not show a liability at that price.

If they've made a mistake, take the hit and pay out imv!

We shd be able to bet w/ certainty.

Muqbil sorry it took me an age to find this thread again - this forum platform is such a substandard shocker BF, please replace gubbed.com and (as mentioned on another thread ) any explanation for timeform site saying I/R high of 21 when RP matt w. confirms 1000 matched?

Also surprised (on yet another thread) that Mauritian racing not really registered on your personal radar (and dont recognise you as a gratuitous ironist).

Just very odd betting on that horse all round. Big sp, matched at 1000 and the last price matched as the suspend came up where the horse won half a length was 4.9!
