[AusRace] Something else to check

[L.B.Loveday]

DO did not respond to my request for an explanation, so I sent the same email to Sportsbet and got this reply:

 

******

Unfortunately we are not directly affiliated with Dynamic odds, so our live odds on our website may vary to what they show. Clearly in this instance their odds were not up to date with our odds and as a result have caused the $00.50c discrepancy. In future to avoid this I would recommend to double check with the SB website to ensure you are receiving the true odds.
******

 

As odds change in a micro-second, the only way to avoid this is to bet directly with SB - if you check the price on SB's site, then bet via DO (which you might do to have a composite record of bets placed) the price may have changed.

 

Some other sites report "odds changed", but not SB, you just get whatever they give you, not what DO says they gave you.

 

As ever, caveat punter.

Hello Len

 

i see the id crosschecks .... but the time of the accepted latter bet is 2 secs later.

 

embedded algo.

 

it's sad that a simple consumer transaction can be manipulated like that.

 

but that is the way the kid programmed it, despite it being illegal / fraudulent

 

they rely on knowing that the little guy won't check.

 

and if they do, the crap that you have to go through, it is not worth it.

 

there are consumer laws against this type of thing, but the regulators don't really want to regulate.

 

cheers sean

I requested a bet with Dynamic Odds at 8.00 (Sportsbet bet to lose $500 rather than $400 MBL), and the bet is shown as being placed at 8.00

 

 



 

 

However, Sportsbet has placed it at 7.50. I accept that the odds changed between the time I requested the bet with DO at 8.00 and it was placed with SB, BUT it should not be placed at odds other than those I requested, and especially at odds less than that.
