Hello all,
Does anyone know for certain when an ante-post market on any specific horserace closes. I believe an ante-post market closes at the "final declaration" stage, but, when is the final declaration stage for a race. Like, is there a specified number of hours or days before a race for the final declaration? For instance, if you play the Grand National ante-post on the exchanges you will be told that "this market closes at the final declaration stage" ......... but not told in advance at what time this will occur.
I layed Royal Auclair at 14/1 ............ has drifted out to 33's/40's on the basis of Nicholls saying he might not run due to forecast heavy going. Went on to Betdaq this morning to Back-back the horse a bit for certain profit and find that the market is closed.
Needless to say, I should have known this before making a trade but I have very little experience of Exchange ante-post betting. In pre-exchange days, I did do a little ante-post but that was when you had no other choice but to let the bet ride.
So,.............. would be grateful if anyone knows this "final declaration" lark.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
