** PROVISIONAL **

Note the provisional sign still showing 20 minutes after the race was won.

Nico mentioned the place dividend on the 2,and also the size of the place pool of R3 million,which he said clearly looks incorrect.

Is it incorrect?The only thing that makes sense to me here is that Phumelela are guarenteeing foreign punters a minimum place payout of R1.10.

A race where they betting is 7/10 and 14/10 the top two looks the perfect race to bet R3 million on the place and earn a quick R300 000.

Clearly it never panned out,but to my mind I don't see any other reasonable conclusion.Nobody puts R3 million into the place pool by mistake.

This looks like more evidence that local punters don't get the same deal as foreigners.

Both runners 1 and 3 showed R0.60 when they jumped.

Money from Australia.

Clearly this is some sort of deal where dividends are guarenteed.Absolutely no shadow of doubt.

I just can't understand why anyone would want to back on the tote to get there money back...:S

the place pool on both favourites showed not 0.6 when they jumped, but about 4-1, strange enough.

?......and in the meantime the race is not clear and my stake winnings are trapped.......fark local tote is a joke but how many bookies can get burned if they offer an open bet and cannot lay off a 22/1 payout.....:

All clear now.The money went into the pool alright.

Bloke screwed himself.FANTASTIC.

I hate double standards.

something wrong with this story

The Australians are just used to punting into bigger pools..

Ban the TOTE and let the bookies pay 6% towards stakes

This is the right question.

In Aus the minimum payout is $1.04 ...
