$300 Chavanel over Vogondy @ $1.71
$300 Sanchez over Morenhout @ $1.83

Sick odds, too bad Sportingbet does not allow me to bet..

A very modest tickle on Velits in the TT (25s) and Samu in the RR (33s). Didn't double up though, sooo.. in the very extremely unlikely event of both coming in you know where the pistol shot came from

A LOT of people hammered it and they took down the market. I wanted to put more on. I had set to put more on the Martin one, but they took it down last night. Some people missed out but some people cashed in by getting on it a few days earlier.

I actually saw both odds right away, sadly Sportingbet does not allow me to play. Or well I was allowed about 5 dollar on the Porte odds and 12 on Martin...

Have won too much there. So enjoy their presents while you can. .

I saw them both (more interested in the Martin one) but was just waiting, should have got it when I saw it I guess

Be careful playing h2hs against nonstarters like Van Staeyen and Bole, its the certain way to limits if you do it to much. The risk of that is greater than the chance of them setling incorrectly at least..

Didn't realise they were non starters. Oh well, it might work in my favour. It's happened before.

In anycase if I dont get my money back on these bets, I will E-Mail the bookie telling them the certain riders didn't start.

So from here on it will look like one of two things.

1. I get my money back
2. They settle in my favour

2 has happened on a few occasions, but 1 is more likely.

So it's definite both didn't start?

Yes theyre nonstarters.

Final startlist (finally) :

Surely you have nothing to lose now, either refund or they dont discover the nonstarter and you might win the bets (rare) but be aware that if the bookie think you play against nonstarters on purpose (to cheat) (if this happens often, so its most likely not accidental) you will likely be punished with low limits, at least if youre a winning custumer.

Very rarely happens.

Last time I won on a non starter h2h was last year.

At least I can sit back knowing I get my money back! Such a shame they were non starters as those bets looked great.
