StuHolmes Jul 2016 10:57am, 21 Jul 2016 786 posts	0 StuHolmes Yes, there now. Oh wow, 1400 on my 10k Sunday! I'd better get some early nights!

FergusG Jul 2016 12:36am, 23 Jul 2016 215 posts	0 FergusG Is the refund mechanism borked? I've got some bets that've been 'waiting' for 20 days, that I thought would be cancelled out by now... "If the runner does not enter a time or deletes the race from their portfolio, your credits are refunded after one week."
FergusG Jul 2016 12:14am, 24 Jul 2016 216 posts	0 FergusG ^^^ Fixed now. Thanks!

westmoors Jul 2016 1:41pm, 28 Jul 2016 984 posts	0 westmoors I don't think this is working correctly. I have been awarded credits but the people I bet on didn't achieve PBs!

chunkywizard Aug 2016 9:28am, 10 Aug 2016 3,228 posts	0 chunkywizard I have a question. If I put a target in for a race which is a PB, some people bet on me, then I change that target before the race to something slower and then I achieve the slower time, what happens? I did this at parkrun last week. I has all set to blast it but felt knackered so I did some pacing instead. My target was 18:57 and then I changed it to 23:00 (which I achieved!)
Wednesday Mouse Aug 2016 12:06pm, 10 Aug 2016 444 posts	0 Wednesday Mouse I think the predictions are just there for guidance, so betters can see what they might win if you hit your predicted time. If you still beat your PB but don't hit the predicted time, betters will still get a small return, but it will be smaller than if you'd hit the predicted time. Similarly, if you have a great race and overshoot the prediction, betters will get even more credits than predicted. If you change your prediction, the predicted return for betters will change, but the actual return depends only on the performance and not the prediction.
