I had a bet on the 6.00 At Wolverhampton - ultramarine. I took the 7/1 offered, best odds guaranteed was not available. There was a withdrawal shortly after I placed my bet and a 10c rule 4 was in play.
However, ultramarine won at 9/1, despite this, my bet settlement at 7/1 included a 10c r4 deduction. This seems like an incorrect application of r4 to me. It's not much of a difference, (I had a tenner on it) but it's the principle. I understand the logic behind r4, but applying it when the sp is bigger than the price taken is illogical. Before I go and request my adjustment, as I'm not a seasoned horse racing punter, I'd be interested in hearing anyone on here's opinion.
Many thanks.

Return - £73 ?
Right amount if you got that back.

if you take a price and there is a non-runner subsequently , R4 comes into play, the final SP is irrelevant without BOG being offered.

Yes, return was 73 - have to say I'm shocked that r4 applies in the circumstances - I'm struggling to get my head around it, it really seems like something that is open to abuse by unscrupulous bookmakers!
I know that generally b.o.g is on offer so that negates the issue in most instances, very little point in taking a price of b.o.g isn't on offer then.

Anyway, thanks for the steer, saved me half an hour arguing with some poor support agent and being wrong!!

It does feel like a double kick in the bollox when that scenario happens!

The SP would have been bigger without the noner.

The SP is not relevant once the price is taken anyway (unless bog of course).

OP feels a tw@t for taking 7-1 for 9-1 winner. Rejoice in the fact that it won.

Worse things happen at sea.

If you take a price then you have to live with it the choice is yours.
