Please note: - Subsequent disqualifications, appeals and amendments to the result will not be considered for settlement purposes.

ibetX will void all bets if a race is abandoned; otherwise declared void or takes place as a walkover.

ibetX Non-Runner Rule

Any horse that was declared for a race but subsequently did not come under starter's order is deemed to be a non-runner.

If a horse was declared a non-runner on the ibetX website but subsequently ran, all bets placed in the market up to the point the horse was removed will stand. All bets placed after the removal will be void. Any reduction factor applied due to the removal of the runner will be voided.

When a horse is declared a non-runner, all unmatched and matched bets on that runner will be void.

Upon uploading the race cards, each horse is given a 'reduction factor' based on ibetX's estimate of each horses chance of winning with reference to the racing press.

The reduction factors for all horses in the race will sum up to 100%. You can view the reduction factors in the 'Betting - Info Screen' for each horse by clicking on the horse name in the betting window.

Once the reduction factors are set, ibetX will not change them at any time unless there are horses removed from the market.

ibetX application of reduction factors

As soon as ibetX receives notification of a non-runner the horse will be removed from the market and all matched and unmatched bets on the horse will be void

If the reduction factor for the horse is greater or equal to 5%, all unmatched lay bets on the remaining runners are cancelled.

Regardless of the reduction factor of the removed horse, all matched bets on the remaining runners prior to the removal of the non-runner are reduced by the reduction factor. The reduction is made on the whole of the odds, including the stake.

Odds cannot be adjusted below 1.01 and adjusted odds are rounded to the nearest 0.01. - All the remaining horses' reduction factors are then adjusted back to total 100%

This process is then repeated if there is another non-runner in the race.

If ibetX becomes aware of two non-runners at the same time, the horse listed closer to the top of the betting window will be removed first.

Here's an example of how the reduction factor reduces the odds of previously matched bets:

If you have a matched bet at odds of 6.00 and a horse with a 20% reduction factor has subsequently been removed. Your odds of 6.00 will be reduced by 20% and become odds of 4.80.
