Hi, Mark.

I remember some time ago Mark Read offered head-to-head odds on a certain boxing match. The match was a draw, and because he did not offer any odds for the draw there was a huge outcry because every one who had a bet with him could not win. I do not know what was the final outcome - if money was refunded, the bets voided or whatever.

So, if someone backs a current golfer on the Betfair list, and a late entry or an unlisted golfer wins, I wonder then if there is some justification to argue that it was impossible to back the winner when the bet was made, just as was with the "Mark Read" scenario.
