Sunderland Greyhound Results (20th Nov 2012)

Post by TheBetEngine »

It seems that thedogs.co.uk were publishing the "wrong" results for Sunderland earlier today, so anyone running in test mode (or in live mode, but with the results source set to RSS and Fast Dog Results enabled) would have had their bets settled on the wrong outcome.

It looks like someone at Sunderland published the wrong runners for most of the races this afternoon and then thedogs.co.uk reported against those wrong results. If I had to guess, then I would imagine that their system takes the winning trap numbers and then just publishes the name of the dog associated with that trap; so, when they had the wrong names loaded, the wrong results were published.

They have since corrected the results on their site.

A case in point was the 15:17 race. I attach the results as published by thedogs.co.uk and by Sporting Life - as you can see the output is quite different!

As a result of this, I will be adding a new option to TBE - the ability to settle the bet based on the published trap number (for clarity - this will be for Fast dog results only). This option will be added to version 2.6 only.
