Rule 4 Query

Hoping someone can give a bit of clarity on this for the 1.35 Newmarket…

This morning I put £25 on Yalta at 9 on Bet365 and layed it on Smarkets at 9.

So far so good.

I then put £20 on Yalta at 9 with William Hill but decided to wait a bit to lay it in the hope the odds come down further.

There’s since been two withdrawals and I noticed that smarkets have reduced my lay odds to 8, giving me a lower liability.

So when I’m laying the WH part, do I need to be using 8 for my back odds as they’ll reduce my winnings accordingly?

Just spotted this. What you would have needed to do was look what price the horses were when they were withdrawn and then look at a rule 4 list and see what the deduction is add them together and then divide them by the price of your horse. Without checking i think the ones on your bet were both 5p in the pound making your reduced odds 8.2 instead on 9.0

Cheers Pickle, that’s what I worked it out to in and around anyway, didn’t matter in the end anyway as Yalta didn’t win. But something to be wary of that I wasn’t so much before.
