if we are indeed "co mingled" with the OZ totes and they guarantee a $1.04 minimum payout why do we saffas not enjoy the same bonus...it appears that every time there is a $1.04 payout as was the case for Black Caviar a place etc our local operator enjoys an additional 4% windfall at our expense?/

.....just goes to show that the checks and balances are shoddy....systems have failed, human errors are a plenty.....sure these mistakes may have been beneficial to certain punters but if the rules were followed the actual dividends to the correctly qualifying bets would have paid more.....our racing and betting product are in the hands of absolute incompetent management and they only have themselves to blame for the mess that they are creating with regard to mass migration to bookies and distrust in tote systems......laughable that they want to monitor and track phantom punters around the globe.....yet their staff find it difficult to count to 8 when disseminating results and payouts on our local pools.....one has got to wonder if they have not already chucked out the baby with the bath water....in other words lost major revenue with bigger mistakes that have not been as easy as these to spot......:
