More Tote Manipulation

This is the type of behavior that is being encouraged - Every time this is called out, then nobody identifies the people taking the bets or cancelling, so of course it will go on.

The odds-on favourite, number 5 in Mauritius race 3, San Andreas, had all the place money on it until racetime, and was showing 0.40 a place. Then at the jump, all this money on it was cancelled, and the horse, blazing odds-on favourite, returns R3.90 a place. This happens on most races, and yet nothing is being done to stop it.

maybe its time to complain to the Gambling Board - then I think the operators will take us seriously

Place pool was R3874
Get 6 people to take a R499 and a R100 place bet.
just before the off cancel the R499 bets and you have the dividend go up 4 or 5 times

It's not illegal to do this so of course you will get people doing this when they know the pools will be small

Check what the 1/5 Cartel Boss paid for a place on the tote now.

In my opinion, its professionally manipulated, so that person wager bets on the Open Bet. If you watch the Pools closely you can take advantage of it. Happens often in the UK in 4 or 5 runner fields for a certain bet type. If you cannot beat them, join them....

R5-40 unbelievable.
If these tote guys cannot see this manipulation and don't ask questions it means someone working in the tote is probably in on this.

Same M.O. R1.30 a win. R5.90 a place.

simple to find out where the cancelled bets originate from -

The problem there is that the bookies won't pay out more than the pool total.
But R3000 and R1900 is not bad at all

I remember a Jooste henchman admitting to cancelling big bets when he thought he was going to get a R1or less payout
