Stupid Questions

If I place an ante post Lucky 15 or 31 or even a 63 and I have a non runner, such as Monkfish who is out for the season, does the rest of the bet still stand. Does the Lucky 31 then become a 15 and a 15, a patent? Thanks.

Yep.

A lucky 15 becomes a lucky 7 with a non runner.

Thanks, from an ante post novice. Only ever did ante post singles before this year, and never usually that many either.

It's the downside of ante post multiples as bets can be decimated with a non runner or two.

I’ve been looking for the race conditions for the old roan and can’t find them and was just wondering what makes races like this and the Haldon gold cup limited handicaps? I thinks it’s to do with an extra restriction like a veterans race only allowing 10 year olds+, but not sure what that restriction is and can’t find it. Is it open company only?

As we enter the new season, and we look to refresh ourselves and outlooks, remember

The only stupid question is the one you don't ask

On the WKD entires Quilixios has a ‘NQ’ next to his name. What does that stand for?

I can only come up with not qualified but then my next question would be, why isn’t he qualified?

Probably at the more respectable end of the stupid questions i've asked, but a couple of players at the club I support have had FA disciplinaries for betting on football. The amounts one of them wagered (about 70 football related bets for a total of 700 quid overall) don't appear big enough to have flagged anything up on that front and he had made a loss (case has been heard and he got a small fine), but it was brought to the attention of the FA by the bookie. I know there are a few on here who have previously worked for bookies, i'm just curious if they somehow cross reference pro sports persons against some sort of list? They must have 10's of 1000's of accounts, maybe 100's of 1000's for some. I've never been asked what I do for a living, so how do they know Joe Bloggs is a lower league football player?
