[AusRace] Beware of betting SP/TF

[L.B.Loveday]

Scott from DO is excellent at responding, a beacon of helpfulness in a sea of ignorance/waffle/evasion and here's his reply:

*****************

Yesterday, unfortunately, we experienced a technical issues that effected the price display of corporate agencies,– hence the variance in prices displayed for runners in your examples below. 

 

The issue effected the markets of the early races yesterday, with regular service being restored at approximately 2.15pm (AEDT). 

 

Apologies for any inconvenience. 

 

To confirm, the Official Price, and fluctuation, were not effected and correct. 

 

   

 

I accept the problem with technical issues, of which there have been, imo, too many lately, but 130% is the highest SP market% since August 2016, when the VOP based on DO was introduced, and It's not good enough while bookmakers are offering SP/TF.

Just 2 of multiple examples from yesterday:

 

 

Yesterday's final Dynamic Odds display for Sandown 1 - prices the same as in download:

 



 

It is very important now that SP/SOP is determined from DO data that it be accurate, particularly for those who bet at SP/TF.

 

I can't see how the winner #9 reasonably gets an SP of 4.6 (my attention was drawn to this race by an extraordinary high SP market % of 130 for a Metro Melbourne meeting while the Best Odds% is just 96.6%)

 

Similarly the 4th horse #2 and its SP of 8.50.

 

Hanging Rock #2 (SP market% 134 compared to 102.5 Best Odds):

 



 

I cannot see how the 2nd horse, #10 gets an SP of 7.00
