Does anyone know if the Henlow 8:27 was voided today?
Logs show trades occuring but it's not in my BF P&L.

Not sure about that race but something similar happened this week, which I witnessed in real time looking at both the market and the live stream:

- My software placed a bet
- Betangel correctly showed the bet as matched
- Handlers loaded dogs into the traps
- Betfair suspended market
- Handlers unloaded dogs
- Trap 6 dog was withdrawn
- Betfair removed Trap 6 from market
- Betfair reopened market
- My bet (Trap 2?) was correctly still there, but perhaps with no deduction
- Eventually they suspended the market, the race went off, but they ended up voiding all bets: not sure why

Thx Derek, that sound feasible but all 6 ran according to the results. I might never know, who the heck is watching dog racing in the middle of the night ! :)

It's a funny one, my last bet went in at 08:31:19
08:31:40.157 Suspending
08:47:22.392 Unsuspending
08:47:22.392 Closed
08:47:22.392 Stopping

Trap 6 bumped and fell but they were a long time closing that one. I've searched all over for video replays but I can't find any. Is there a site that has them? I dont mean to go on about it but I don't like these odd ones, they might end up costing.

Did anyone else have bets on that race that settled? Henlow 23rd Oct 08:27

Watching the greyhounds reminds me of going to a country fair one time, there was a field set up with poles, and a rag & rope threaded round them to a winch. People were running their dogs, mostly greyhounds and lurchers. Our (short legged) jack russell ratter was mad for it so I let her have a go. The fast dogs were on the tail of the lure and went round the poles, ours was behind so just flew straight up the middle and got to the winch first!

There's a tortoise and hare trading parable in that somewhere, don't zigzag chasing the price.

seems the punters backed 3 down from about 3.0 after the off, will keep it open to see how they settle

They rolled the prices back to the off time odds, if its anything like US racing the late bets will have been voided.

Its that time of year again when I start dusting off some Greyhound automation rules that have been parked throughout the busy months, keen to see if I can make any tweaks using some of the new features added since I last used them

New to these markets however they seem pretty erratic today presumably due to large stakes being put down in the absence of UK racing?
