Play the tote they say....it helps all in racing except the punter.
Two horses in the first race payed R1 a place.
Haven't played the tote in years and will continue not to support that entity until this money back for a risk gets resolved.
So in other words I will never play on the tote until I'm dead as they have been told about this a long long time ago but couldn't be bothered to do anything about it.
I see your point exactly 100 % durbs...... but let me put it this way.
Many a BIIG punter would risk 10G TO win 1g...... especially if it is paying 3 x places..
SO CUE THE REBEL WINS @ odds on....... how many of the big boys would have taken 1,000 / 10,000 a PLACE for this horse....... PLENTY.
How about the really BIIIIGER PLAYERS 10 g / 100 g....... after all u can't make this type of money with the bank can u...... expecially in 60 odd sec...... & i FIRMLY believe the big boys, Werners & co would happily punt a 100 g a place on their horses if they were guaranteed to WIN 10g
YES, the ODD bet will go SKEW..... & one must take the RUFF with the SMOOTH !
durbs 1st Springbok game vs SCOTLAND....... I took a bet i very rarely take.... 1,000 / 5,000 - why cause i believed this was a SURE WINNING BET ! Thank goodness SA turned the 2nd half upside down !
