reduced BSP

[bolpx001]

Can anybody help/explain/advise I did an BSP lay on 'Behind the Wire' for 210 Euros but for some reason it was reduced to 188.61 Anybody any ideas why this happened. I have noticed it before but was to busy to pursue it - all help comments appreciated - Paul

You will never know what the bfsp WILL finally be
It depens on the time you make your bet , closer to off closer to the bfsp you see (odds movement)
It also depens on the money at either side - back, lay - sitting for bfsp (like your 210) wich you can not find out how much they are

Thanks for the reply alrodopial, but that is not what is happening. I Layed two best at about 10:30am for a liability of 210 each It took them and no issue about an hour before the race I noticed on my phone that the liability had dropped to 188.61 on one bet but the other other lay bet I had also done at 10:30 for still 210. I layed the 188.61 one again at BSP to bring it back up to 210 At the off my liability for each race was 210 which was what I originally wanted. What I am not understanding is why it dropped an hour before the off to 188.61?

If there's a non runner after you've placed the bet Betfair will reduce your liability by the non runners reduction factor.

Thank you Captain Sensible, I thought something like that was at play. I might place the lay at bsp bets closer to the off - Thanks again - Paul
