Non-runners
-
Good morning all,
This has probably been asked before but I haven’t been able to find the answer on a quick search of the forum.
So, I was just having a little look at the horse racing today on oddschecker. I happened to be looking at the 13.50 at Ascot when Label Des Obeaux was declared a non-runner. The odds on Flintham dropped at the exchange to 8.0ish as a result. The odds with a few bookies were still showing higher than this, Totesport and Betfred were showing 11.0, I assumed this was because they hadn’t been updated for the non-runner.
I logged in to Totesport to check. Totesport was showing Label Des Obeaux as a non runner but had odds of 11.0 on Flintham so I put a couple of quid on it.
I have a screenshot of Totesport’s site showing odds of 10/1 on Flintham and that Label Des Obeaux is a non-runner. Assuming Totesport were a bit slow updating their odds and still apply the rule 4 deduction to my bet, (should it win) do I have a leg to stand in arguing that the non-runner should have already been reflected in the odds when I put the bet on.
Clearly I’m jumping the gun a little (and should just wait for the result) but, I thought I’d ask now as if it loses I’d probably just forget about it (until it happens again).
