And you just cannot see or concede that pools will increase massively. That part is a mental block, we only see the one side.... :dry:

Of course it would be ideal for the industry if all exotics went through the tote.................it doesn't take a mathematician to work that out.
How sad is it that those who need to negotiate a mutually beneficial solution, have made no headway in over a decade ,in fact, get their noses bloodied at every turn.
If the open bet is so vital to racing's survival, it needs skilled people to resolve the issue with the bookmakers!

The use of the word manipulation creates an unjust impression.

Utilising the carry over pools optimally does create a better return for both the operator and the punter and we have seen it put to good use the last while with bigger days getting its fair share.

I agree with Louis that we are very selective in terms of our comments and the sport can do with a more balanced approach.

I have often thought that carryovers should go back immediately but when you think about it actually when we have bigger pools on a big day everybody wins as payouts are often skewed eg a pa that would normally pay R40 now pays R75 because of "newbie money" and the extra strike from regular punters. Hard call to make I suppose

There u go Bob !
But you "forgot" again, the costs of staging racing and the small percentage of Punters profits that the bookie puts into racing. ... Both sides is always better.
Bob, you clearly defend the bookies whenever you can. No problem with that, that's your opinion etc. I just believe that the input for the product is very important. Bookies should pay their fair share.

FOR THOSE INTERESTED

Hollywood and world sportsbetting have a R1 000 000 limit

Betxchange pay the full tote dividend .

At the end of it all , it would be ideal for all exotic bets to be in one pool . Until this happens PUNT where it SUITS your pocket !

The biggest problem with the Pick 6 came when couplings were taken away. R500,000 plus payout are now very common so need to look closely at payout limits when taking a Pick 6 on the open bet. Be careful of BIG days as the exotics often pays bombs and have carryovers flowing into them.
