Magic Time overs like she was 4 weeks ago? Doesn’t mind chop in the ground either. Barrier 1 will follow Alabama Lass and hopefully find a gap around the bend.

Lady probably too good for these though.

I'll be on Alabama E/W - 1x3 play

Hopefully gets a cheap section somewhere and holds on

What a stupid reason to dismiss the protest, because of the margin. Not the fact that you shifted out and could have caused Nash to fall. Nash couldn’t find a gap on this prick of a track, no wonder the margin wasn’t smaller.
 
I have to test something here to make sure I am not going crazy.

I just had $50 on something at $1.90, that dead-heated.

In my head, I assumed the odds would be reduced from $1.90 to around $1.45. Resulting in a payout of around $70.

Bet365 paid me out $47. There are no deductions.

The guy on live chat is telling me that in the event of a dead-heat. They half the stake, not the odds. So effectively, my $50 bet at $1.90, has become $25 at $1.90 - resulting in a $47 payout. Effectively paying my $50 win bet out at less than $1.

Am I going crazy or is that not how dead heats are supposed to work?

Seems like its just how B365 do it.

Sportsbet, Pointsbet etc do it as you mentioned.

I assumed if you bet $50 to get back $90. The profit ($40) is halved. So it would be a $70 return.

365 insisting I have been paid out correctly, $47. I can't be bothered arguing with them about it over $25.

That's correct from them. Halving $1.90 odds is $0.95 odds not $1.45

The guy on live chat is over complicating things as halving the stake and/or the odds is the exact same thing
 
Tim Yateman on Racing.com is unwatchable.

John Kelton tipped something at $8 in the last at Strath today (it was $5.50 the field).

Yateman: 'Oh, John Kelton likes one at a price here'

Kelton's selection loses to a $13 chance.

Yateman: 'That was close, John Kelton's selection was in it for a long way at a big price'

Fair enough.

It doesn't make sense to me though. There could be an 8-horse dead heat and they should still be paying out at at least $1 (money back) on each winner.

In theory anything odds on will return less than your stake when there's a dead heat. Basically just halve (or divide by the number of ties if there's multiple) the total value of the ticket.

Some books do have in their T&C's they won't pay out less than your stake though.

Royal Supremecy being twice the price of Soul of Spain makes no sense to me. Was the one I wanted to be on going forward out of their last race and now meets him 2kg better at the weights
