Australia. Hamilton live: the meeting race by race
This is the in-play page of Australia. Hamilton: one racecourse, its races listed by number (labels such as "Race 3"), and the runners for each race with a price beside every name. The same page structure applies to any horse racing meeting that reaches the Live section, whatever the country; only the track, the time of day and the number of races differ.
How a meeting looks in the live list
The live list names each meeting as "Country. Racecourse" and adds a figure in brackets, which counts the races open at that moment. Expanding the row shows the track, the race number and a status line. Before the off the status reads "Starting in N minutes"; once the field has left the stalls it changes to "Event in progress".
Runners appear as cloth number, horse and, in brackets, the jockey, for example "№6" followed by the horse's name and its rider, with the price underneath. That price keeps moving. On the same horse we saw one figure in the list and another on the race page a few minutes later.
Markets on a race page
Tapping a race opens its own page, topped by a "Search by market" field. On the race we checked, the markets were these:
Winner: the horse has to finish first.
In Top 2: first or second place is enough.
In Top 3: the horse must be among the first three past the post.
Match-Ups: two runners paired against each other, W1 or W2 depending on which of the two finishes in front.
Finishing Position In The Race: a separate line for each runner and each place, shown as "Place (2)" and "Place (3)".
The menu is not the same on every race. Some races carry a single "Winner, Starting Price" market, where every runner is quoted "SP" instead of a fixed price.
Confirming a bet before the off
A live selection on a race can be played as a single or added to an accumulator. Nothing is binding until the server logs the bet and sends back its online confirmation; after that the slip is fixed, with no edits and no deletion.
Upcoming meetings and the races already on their cards sit in the pre-race horse racing line. Every other track running at the same time as Australia. Hamilton is grouped in the Horse Racing section, and placing a stake starts with opening a 1xBet account.
Abandoned races, non-runners and dead heats
The site's horse racing rules and its general betting terms settle the usual problem cases:
Situation | Settlement |
|---|---|
Race terminated, declared void, moved to another track or run under conditions changed after bets were taken | Single bets are void; the race is removed from an accumulator |
Horse pulled out before the start or named a non-runner in the official record, while no fresh SP market was opened | Stakes on that horse come back at odds of 1 |
Two winners announced | The stake is divided by two for settlement |
Three or more winners announced | Bets are settled at odds of 1 |
The simultaneous finish rule does not cover the Match-Ups market.
