[AusRace] Deductions "Scam"

[L.B.Loveday]

Pinjarra Race 2 today had #4 scratched when it was 1.80 the Win pretty well
across the board.

Both Sportsbetting and TopSport declared deductions of 37% for the Place.

Taking Sportsbetting's pre-scratching market, it's 246%, pretty typical.

 

BUT, after deducting 37%, it becomes 267%, highlighting the unfairness of
the deduction.

Sportsbetting then put up a new market, at 248%.

How would you feel if you'd put $435 on #5 at 1.92, saw it reduced to a
payout at 1.21 only to see the same bookmaker immediately offer 1.56?
