I repeat - Bookies are not the issue. I also have a bookie account. But they DO NOT PLAY THE OPEN BET on their bookies account.

The OPEN BET is the issue here, not the existence or presence of bookies.

And I think it is precious that, after taking what doesn't belong to them and then not contributing equally or fairly to running racing, there are those who now want the tote to "offer a better deal" to same bookies, as if the tote now suddenly owes them something.

HI GUYS, I STOLE YOUR GOODS. GIVE ME A GOOD DEAL AND I WILL RETURN THEM.

Where or what are we ? Somalia maybe ?

No limits should be put on exotics...just my view :dry:

That's my view as well.

Maybe bookies should just start their own pool and take 26% from the top?

sure if they got together they could get some kind of carryover pool going with software these days

There was punters taking atc bets with bookies before electricity had still to be invented..

I still say in an ideal world the place to play exotics is the tote and the place to play wins and places, yankees etc are the bookies.

I have nothing against the tote and the bookie is the enemy as dave says,but as serious punters we need both so we can get the value of both..

Leaving all the emotion aside, the tote handed the open bet to the bookies by closing totes at 11am , and punters were in tattersalls asking for the bet anyway.
When the tote realized how much they had diverted they decided to take legal action ......and got stuffed!
What is left of course is the normal business strategy of wooing customers with service and good business practice .......::it's only been about 10 years ,so the tote are probably still intending to get around to that plan!
