Technical failure causes bet cancelation

A failure in the Singapore Turf Club betting system has caused bets associated with the live broadcast of races in Macau and South Africa to be canceled, Shin Min Daily News reported. According to the Singapore Turf Club, the betting system failed to stop accepting bets after the race had started. Despite the fact that the race had ended in both Macau and South Africa, the system continued to receive bets. Consistent with the Singapore Turf Club procedures, the bets will all be refunded. One of the punters revealed that he had bet on the horse “Macau Spring”, but the prize couldn’t be delivered because the bets had been canceled. Some horseracing experts commented that if Hong Kong had been involved, the amount of bets cancelled would have been higher.
