Stupid Questions

I picked a few at random and it appears to keep doing the same. I'll go back to it tomorrow and see what I can muster up. Cheers guys.

How is cash out calculated? I’ve got 1pt on Jonbon for the Supreme at 33/1. He is now 8/1. Yet the cash out I’m offered is just the 1pt stake. I swear that in previous years, that cash out would’ve been 2.5 - 3pts.

That ones with PP but it’s a similar story with B365 for other bets.

Ive backed Balco Des Flos for the cross country with William Hill on the instore machines, but the actual name of the hose is BALKO des Flos (they've mis-spelt it)

Is this bet likely to be voided when they realise their error?

I'm no expert Sharp Hat ,but i'd say your fine . if the race is identified on your slip.

It depends on what price it is obviously.
I assume it's the right sort of price, and not 100-1.

Hills scratch of the day gives me a free 5er bet if i stake a 10er on a horse. It says excludes antepost markets. If i go to put an antepost bet on the free 5er isnt there BUT if i select a horse running today and then double it with a horse running at cheltenham the bet is available to put on.

The question is, having laid the bet do they have to honour it OR if both selections win, will they void and say you can't use antepost bets as per the terms of the free bet?

IF it is the latter would IBAS then be able to help?

My view is if they have laid a bet they should pay it (they can't claim palpable error as the odds are correct). But wondered if anyone could shed any light?

Coral do the same and let you bet on the DOR/AP double, my view is that:
1. the website allows it, and
2. you've satisfied the condition of having a DOR bet so to add on an AP selection too makes the bet more risky so it looks like they are happy with that

Appreciate the response, thanks IC - what you say makes total sense.

I've got a stupid question and can't believe I don't know the answer, when times are recorded for a race is it from when the tapes go up that the clock starts ?
Interesting being in the new members stand this season there have been a few races that start in front of the stand and it was noticeable (Friday) the 3m hurdle race they were set back 100 yards from the tape when they were let go and I kept thinking it will take them 5/6 seconds to reach the start line, how does that impact race times ?
I know there are some clever people here who will know the answer...

Yeah they start it once tapes are up which is another reason not to actually time anything until reaching the first obstacle or section of a race, the other being they couldn't possibly start in the same spot every time anyway.

Thanks Outlaw, appreciate the confirmation.
Always assumed that would be the case but with so many time judges out there these days it made me wonder, as you say the clock per furlong can be helpful I guess…

Any vets in the house?

What does the term 'clinically abnormal' actually mean? Can it be a range of things or is it specific to certain abnormalities?

This is worth a read as most clinical abnormalities refer to blood samples - https://www.rossdales.com/assets/fil...orse_blood.pdf

I work with quite a few equine vets and my understanding is clinically abnormal refers to any test result outside a normal range. Could be blood showing an infection, high levels of cortisol due to stress, might be an irregular heart rhythm post electrocardiogram, a test that shows unusual conductance speed (heart rhythm) - I'm sure a vet would tell you the list is endless.

Perfect, thanks charlie
