How do I check why my placepot lost when one leg had a favourite substitution?
Direct answer
Read the Tote's favourite-substitution and dividend rules, then compare each race's official placings and returned favourites.
How to use this answer
A definitive win, loss, void or refund cannot be established from the question alone. Identify the operator, the exact market, the date and the relevant official result, then check the rules that applied to the bet.
Racing bets can have different dead-heat, withdrawal, non-runner and each-way settlement conditions. Confirm the race time, final official result and the operator’s rule that applied when you placed the bet.
