Anyone who expects that Coventry v Poole handicap bet to be settled is off their mind. No one can predict the score of heat 15, if it was a 5-1 or 5-0 to Cov all you Poole backers lose, but it never happened so nobody will ever know.
Official results can be declared after 10 heats now so how the hell can a handicap be settled as it's unlikey to be established by then?! We all have to expect all 15 heats to be completed to be paid unless it has been established at the point of the official result being declared.
This is the fairest way on both sides.
