ROI Results 3/9 @ Tampa Bay

[JolyB]

I have no disagreement with your scoring, RQ. My comments go to the decisions of track management to simply cancel multirace wagers and refund the bets rather than calculate the wagers based on the legs that had in fact been run and pay the winners accordingly.

I've looked through the Equibase charts and can't find any payoff to those who were alive in the various multirace bets that were affected by the nonwagering Race 11 and cancelled Race 12.

If a player bet on the double involving races 10 and 11 and had the winner of race 10, why isn't that player entitled to a payoff on his successful bet, with the bet calculated on a 5/ALL basis? Conversely, if a player didn't have the winner of race 10 on such a ticket, why is that player entitled to a refund if his bet lost? His ticket was likely in the trash shortly after race 10 was declared official. I don't know how the Florida parimutuel regs address this, but most other jurisdictions require payoffs to winners of multirace bets that have one or more of the later legs cancelled.
