Didn't get matched straight away, left it and went out
Just got in, been matched at 1.82 as Ellis a non runner...reduction factor 48%...!!???

Cheers, richgit, that's what I'm thinking...but the reduction factor is more akin to an even money shot, not a 3/1 plus...unless of course there was a huge plunge on the horse before being withdrawn, which used to be an old bookies ploy to increase the Rule4...

Reduction factor of Ellis was 28.5%.

2.4 - 28.5% should leave you with 1.72 rather than 1.82?

The 48% reduction factor only applied to the 3 place market, the 2 place market was 37% and win only deduction was 28.5% you must of staked in the 3 place market and noted the prices in the win market
