This So You Think 3yo trained at Murwillumbah might be one to follow. Only narrowly won a Gold Coast maiden at first start. However was checked early, then hung in badly in the straight. Whenever the jockey was able to ride the horse he surged forward. Will be better over further (1600m+).

In the TAB Highway on Saturday. I managed to get $41 with Sportsbet. I rate him a $2.40 chance.

Dirty rotten mongrels at Sportsbet cancelled my bet at $41. Didn't even bother to tell me. Now $8.00.

If they are going to be idiotic enough to run him over 1200m they do not deserve this horse.

Don't normally bet in these TAB Highway races but a few promising types in this one.

I think the winner will come from Care To Think, Clipper and And There Is More.

Yes. 



How can they cancel it after it was accepted? Surely that is not legal! I would be straight on the phone giving them a blast and threatening to take it further.

Scumbags! IMO if they accept a bet it should stand.

I agree. If they accept that bet, then that bet should stand. It is not your fault that they put up the wrong price. If they cared about their customer then they would reward you for finding value - by letting the bet stand. They clearly do not care about the customer. They know they don't have to. It opens up the prospect of them not paying out bets due to the simple - and inconvenient fact - that one of their punters stands to collect, or even won on the bet. Their vague clause could have them legally not paying out on bets and leaving punters high and dry.

Pended for a minute before being accepted which means traders directly approved it. Should stand.

Should at least lodge with the Ombudsman so there is a record of it.  Also adds complexity to the business as they will need to respond to them etc.

If it becomes endemic - they will have the evidence to provide to any other body.

Odds makers are purely opinion. There is no fact behind them.

How do they determine factually that a mistake was made ?

This horse in my not so humble opinion needs a lot further than 1200m going from maiden grade to a class 2 event.

I would have been a lot happier if the race was 1400m. In the long term I can see this horse competing at 2000m+.

Their terms and conditions are weighted in the sportsbooks favor of course.

If the odds correspond to the wrong numbers or an error putting in the odds, such as adding an extra zero, it's industry standard to cancel the bet.

Were they the only ones with odds up when you bet, or were the TAB already up at $8?

I think they may have messed up 11 and 12.

They put 11 up at $12 and 12 up at $41 when it was supposed to be the reverse.

I am cheering on Care To Think simply because he is by the immortal So You Think.

He is now way unders in my book. He was unders in my opinion when he was 7/1.

Good luck Bonfield.
