Foreign Racing Not Settling Properly

Arkle betPos has recently had an issue with Foreign racing not settling properly.
This is due to no SPs being returned on these races.

Some customers have mentioned that these races settle correctly in other bet settling systems.  The reason they do not settle in Arkle, is that for daily SIS supplied racing, we always waiting until an SP was in before settling any selections.  This was to prevent settling in the case of an SP being missed.  We assume the other bet settling systems use the last supplied price and assume it is the SP.  We are amending Arkle to do this for meetings that SIS don’t supply an SP for, but are continuing with our belt and braces policy for UK, IRE races.

Below is our communication with SIS on this issue.

 

With Arkle Feed 2.2.01 and above you should no longer have an issue for the current meetings with no SP (however any new meetings/tracks added may cause problems, unless SIS provide a permanent solution to let us distinguish between an SP race and a non SP race).

 

Rachel,

Is there anything in the SIS event that distinguishes between a meeting that will supply an SP, and a meeting that will not?

At the moment we are just having to hardcode this by meeting name.

This is currently the header information we receive with a meeting.
