Fixed Odds Bet: Late Scratching

Recommended Posts

 

  Can someone please explain what happens when your FO's bet is a late scratching.

  An elderly neighbour backed Troup Road when he was scratched at the barrier the other day. He said his bet got transferred to another horse, I'm guessing it was the FO favourite.

 Seems strange. I thought it was a refund scenario.

FF win and place bets are refunded if scratched. That's why there are deductions from FF prices when there are any scratchings after you placed the bet.

FO (futures, non-final field) win and place bets have no refunds for scratchings (they are "All-In" markets).

A win or place bet wouldn't be switched to another horse. It's could be a weird screwup in the new system, or more likely a weird screwup  by your neighbour trying to figure out the new system and backing the wrong horse.
