for the record I totally do not think that any wager pre starting should auto turn into an INPLAY wager at all. Only your europe and australia turn inplay but that is really bad to accept a pre race wager and then allow it in play. two totally different bets.. but as you say you can avoid with flexible odds or fixed odds right? those would never automatically remain active IN play?
Yes, that's correct. If you use the "Flexible Odds" or the "Firm Odds" betting option, our automated betting system will either confirm or reject your bet immediately within a few seconds.
Here is how it works :
Firm OddsYour bet will be confirmed immediately, as soon as it is received, at the odds quoted when you ordered the bet. However, if by the time we receive your bet transfer the odds have been significantly reduced, your bet will be rejected and refunded. It is not recommended to use this option when the odds fluctuate, as is the case when the event is in play or is about to start, especially when betting on the favorite.
Flexible OddsThis option means that the bet odds will be determined by the time we receive your bet transfer. At that time, we immediately make a single inquiry to the current odds, and these odds are set as the confirmed odds for the bet. Most of the times, if you send out the bet immediately, the odds will be the same as they were by the time you ordered the bet, but in other times the odds might be higher or lower.
This option is recommended when the odds fluctuate, as is the case when the game is in play or is about to start. This ensures that you get the best possible odds when the odds increases in your favor, and avoid rejections when the odds decreases.
This is also useful when you want to order a bet but send the amount to bet at a later time. Once you order a bet with the Flexible Odds option, you can send multiple bets before or during the event without the need to re-order the bet. Each bet will have its odds confirmed at the best available odds by the time we receive it.
Recommended when betting while watching the game / horse race and shortly before the start of the event, or if you do not intend to make the bet transfer right away.
