I think small bets with corporates like bet365 might be layed into the local totes (so they can payout on mid div). Otherwise i can’t explain itjackpot jim wrote:Can someone explain to me how Tabs display their pool totals for individual races?
For instance why are pool totals for WIN pools displayed with odd amounts of cents when as far as i know all win bets have to be in multiples of 50 cents or $1 etc.
SA Tab paid a Win Div for Rockaball of $540.90. The Win pool was showing $1,081.80. So if $1.50 was invested on it for the win then that accounts for $811.35 or exactly 75% of the displayed Win pool.
The old days before flexi betting the pools and dividends (especially large multiple payouts like F4s and Quaddies etc) were easy to work out how many winning units were on them .
I'm sure someone has a simple explanation to this?
Ok, just realised that maybe they're displaying the pools with their commission already deducted from them ? That way punters cant work out the exact commission they're taking from each pool as the rate of commission may vary? Would that be right?
Like the old days commission was like 13.5% for win bets
16% quinellas
20% for Trifectas, Quaddies etc.
It was very transparent unlike these days it's all secretive it seems

I saw the odds last night and the fluctuations were something like $101 into $34 into $12 into $9 into $4.60 which is what it opened at today and then eventually shortened into $2.90
I assume it wasn't a mistake, i'm guessing sometimes the bookies or whoever sets the prices just believed it was a 100/1 chance
After all, the odds set are just someones opinion and they sometimes are proven to be correct and other times not.
I noticed Uncle Leo opened at $51 and was backed into $6 and ran unplaced so the Bookie was right on this occasion and the punters who plunged it were wrong. Works both ways.

Happens sometimes, lucky for the punters who get on.

Track design to be based on the Melton track
With tracks like Victor Harbor and Gawler already being under utilised from race meetings at least , it's hard to see the benefit of yet another track being built when harness racing seemingly is at it's lowest ebb ever in the state
