Two Jackpots for evermore

From tomorrow, Tuesday 25 February , two Jackpots will be operational on all South African race meetings and TAB customers must mark the relevant venue oval and the Leg 1 race number to play.

A second Jackpot was launched on one South African race meeting daily some time ago, but TAB customers had to mark venue oval 9 to bet because of display issues with tickets going forward and will pays.

Tests on Saturday and again on today’s Fairview meeting indicate that the bulk of these issues have been resolved and from tomorrow TAB customers must no longer utilise venue oval 9 to play the second Jackpot.

To play Jackpot ONE or Jackpot TWO mark the actual venue oval (TURF for Turffontein, WEST CAPE for Kenilworth or Durbanville etc) and the race number of the first leg of the bet.

Jackpot ONE and Jackpot TWO will be scheduled according to the following table:

* 7-race card:

Jackpot ONE = Races 3 to 6

Jackpot TWO = Races 4 to 7

* 8-race card:

Jackpot ONE = Races 4 to 7

Jackpot TWO = Races 5 to 8

* 9-race card:

Jackpot ONE = Races 5 to 8

Jackpot TWO = Races 6 to 9

* 10-race card:

Jackpot ONE = Races 5 to 8

Jackpot TWO = Races 7 to 10

* 11-race card:

Jackpot ONE = Races 5 to 8

Jackpot TWO = Races 8 to 11

* 12-race card or more:

Jackpot ONE = Races 5 to 8

Jackpot TWO = Races 9 to 12

i wonder if any market research is done before they launch these new bets/modified bets. is this something their clientele was asking for?

do they actually generate more revenue?

In my opinion the p6 pool is the bet that will suffer due to these changes. I cant see "new" money coming into the game because you have an additional jackpot.

An extra Jackpot is good Imho in that it offers the punter a choice against having one pool only. There are days where you will find a standout in 1 or 2 legs so the idea is not to play the bet blindly but choose the better option of the 2 jackpots.
Now as is with the Soccer 6 where there are several pools on a day like V1 ,V2,B1 etc, the Jackpot can follow the same format.
How about if the bet was capped at a minimum of R2 OR R3 like the Soccer 10, maybe just maybe we could see some growth in the pools.

Pools on the Pick 6 will not be reduced. The sum of the pools on the new jackpot races will equate the lone jackpot pool before.

My fault, the press release was sent, then immediately corrected and I never opened the second mail.
