Re:Re:HOW TO WATCH KZN RACING

Thanks Naresh
I am aware the punters are fighting a losing battle on scrolling fixed odds as 4RACING has to promote the tote.
However the punters had the best of both worlds and were used to this facility and if you consider what WSB put into the game, I think it's only fair to show both.
Admittedly it is normally embarrassing to show the both options as only on a very rare occasion to you find value on the tote.
Plus consider the more you put the less you get 😉

Ps I feel the tote is for exotics and bookies for fixed odds

Would also add that there is no logic in watching the trend of tote betting as opposed to fixed odds bets with bookmakers.

As mentioned above why would a big punter take grands on his fancy at regular intervals watching his odds/payout reduced as he punts.

Singapore, Hong Kong, France and the UK. These countries only show tote odds on all their streams. Tellytrack's biggest mistake was starting the sponsored fixed odds. Now that they have taken back this bit, the onus is on 4racing to make the tote an attractive platform to bet on. Gold Circle, to their credit, tried the 1% rebate. Still awaiting on 4racing? No point forcing the tote odds but not doing any more to encourage tote bets. Might as well bring back the fixed odds displays then.

No disagreement Thor but R10000 in these markets they can absorb and have a different culture and no other option.
Not sure if it's possible for SA to get there?

Sorry notice you mentioned UK not sure how strong the tote is and will be interesting if we don't scroll fixed odds for Cheltenham

Example now :

First race from Southwell

Fav is 11/10 with bookies race caller says even money fav and tote has R1.70 at off
No idea if it wins what payout will be but what would a punter do ?
