The Greek / Horseracing Question

[oxiswedloe]

Does The Greek have a 2 minute to post time cutoff? Made my 1st horse wager today, but was told it didn't count, because it was made within 2 minutes of post time. Thanks!

[The General]

Yes sir. They will even tell you the horse software isn't good, but that is a long standing rule.

Sorry.

•A timestamp will be placed on all horses wagers. All horse wagers must be placed prior to two (2) minutes before the race starts.

why does the system not simply close the race 2 mins before the scheduled start then and save all this anguish?

Thanks for the info.

When they say the worst, they don't mean software. They have the most pathetic max payouts anywhere, even on win/place/show.

betjams same way and yesterday it was showing 3 minutes and the race had actually started and was over and it was still showing 1 minute.. i was tempted to put 200 on the winner since it was 11 to 1 in that race hehe

Good point.. but maybe that is an inconvenience if the race is delayed or starts before it was supposed to for some reason. But it shouldn't be too hard for them to take down the odds on a race a few minutes before it starts. Certainly it would prevent people from thinking they have a winning wager when they don't.
