    SBR Racebook is a joke!

    After having this happen for the third time in less then a week I figured I'd finally post about it. I place bets all day long, some very close to post time others well in advance and of course there's never an issue unless a bet placed close to post time hits for a large amount. I should clarify that I don't consider it a large amount but clearly the mods of the racebook consider 200 points to be a lot lol. As stated earlier three times in the past week I've placed the wager no problem, it was accepted as it should have been since I watch all the live feeds as they happen and yes I know there's a transmission delay but its minimal (10 seconds at most). Two of the three wagers in question were placed before the first horse had loaded in the gate and the third was placed after only 2 of the 12 horses in the race had been loaded. All three wagers would have returned between 240 - 600 points and of course were voided. The best part is I placed other wagers on the races in question which lost and they were graded as losses. Seems obvious that SBR can't part with a few measly points

    The amount of points you bet has absolutely no influence over anything. The racebook software is automated and comes as is from state of the art provider DGS. The same software as can be seen in many real sportsbooks.

    There is a disclaimer listed atop the racebook to place your bets at least a few minutes out to avoid incident. It is advice worth heeding and would prevent issues such as what you have experienced.

    I wager within minute/minutes of post time consistently with no problems. Just be sure not to wager past posted post time. Sportsbook does tell you how many minutes to go. Don't wager past zero.

    True but you are cheating by only issuing refunds on wins keeping all lost bets. Software could have cut-off installed at post BUT intent is to SCREW WAGERERS!

    Again there's no truth to this. Bets flagged by the system as late are universally voided.
