Load Shedding effecting the tote pools?

Where`s the contingency plan? shocking (pun )

FYI i was talking to a guy from MARSHALS today (one of the totes biggest rivals) and he was busy checking the load shedding schedule,so Marshals made could make sure they had generators ready ...

Did you get your PA`S on today?

The guy from Marshals has just told me it`s not simple to set up and the shop needs to be wired to allow a change over.

But after that all it takes is trained staff to know how to run the generator and and the extra cost to run (R30 an hour )

He said they prepaired for the months and months ago

All Hollywood branches have generators!

The difference between "managing your business" and Saftote............lol

(it isn't really a "laugh out loud" issue .............it is in fact very sad !!!!!)

Yup Rob while they are eating chicken outside the tab,they are queing out the door and down the street at Marshals

During Shedding

So,during loadshedding ( which is getting more frequent )you can take the open bet because of concerned client service but you can't take a tote bet cos Saftote couldn't give a toss.
Another "tedious" fact about tote betting!!!!!.........lol
The most amazing thing is that the stakeholders who rely on the stakes are always the ones defending this type of pathetic management.
The fact is,that for as long as the present lot are entrusted with encouraging and growing the stakes pot, stakes are unlikely to be very positive........sad but true!
