Swinpunt2 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 I hope that this is not a daft question. Why is the betting halted on the Exchange before the race has finished ? When the betting is halted I don't know whether to rescue a Lay Bet or leave it to run. I've had a couple of narrow squeaks which I could have prevented if I could have put on a Back Bet. I couldn't do that because the betting had been halted on the Exchange and I had to listen to the continuing commentary without being able to act. Why do they halt the betting before the race has finished ? Would be grateful for comments. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV pictures can have a substantial delay from 'live', probably something to do with that (otherwise those on track could have a bigger advantage).
