Haven't come across that situation re asking if it's a fixed odds bet,then again there aren't that many race meetings where i live these days lol. Mind you when i am on course i still prefer to use a bet slip rather than verbally say my bet...annoys me as to why people don't use them,they aren't that hard.So i guess for me,with the fact i use a bet slip,i'd never get asked if my bet is fixed odds or not.
