heavily backed all day as well. He's a shrewd operator. Not been able to watch anything myself so missed that.
Yeah it's Corals, was a little baffled because I'm sure I've done this many times before, mind you it's normally online.
Any Currency's disqualification from the Cross Country at Cheltenham this year today raises another issue for betting. Should all Josies Orders bets now become winners and deserve to be paid out? If the result changes because of foul play from the winner, shouldn't the people that backed it also get what it transpires is rightfully theirs? Is that punishing the bookie who's already paid out on Any Currency being fptp? Does it not punish the betting public more who steamed into Josies that day? I know for a fact i'd be sitting on a reasonable payout if Josies had won that day but obviously miss out because of the rules of racing. Very unsatisfactory to be perfectly honest.
Likewise would have a nice payout had he won! Already asked the question last night - I knew the answer I was going to get but still
Coral General Sporting and Betting Rules - Shop 19.23 FORECASTS Straight Forecasts are accepted only in races of three or more runners. However, should a bet be accepted in error on a two-runner race, or a race is reduced to two runners, Straight Forecast bets will stand, and be settled as a Single, at SP, on the horse named to finish first. Mick as the race in question had 4 runners you should be paid out on the forecast Good Luck
I thought 5 but I checked on betfair and they will allow it with 3 too ??? My "mentor" had said to never do a R/F unless you have at least 5 or more runners...perhaps for price reasoning, apologies for what appears false info.
Cheers Attivo, I will go and question them tomorrow. Not talking wheelbarrow loads of money but there is a difference between paying out on the 11/10 winner and a fc of £7.82.
