co-mingling

Interested to hear that the co-mingling tonight is Win,Exacta and Trifecta bets...............................they have dropped place betting from co-mingled pools
Is that because they have realized that the bet cannot support all the "extra" takeout perhaps? (too many R1 payouts)
(interesting that Saftote have never repudiated the allegation that extra commissions etc lead to a bigger take-out and relatively smaller net pools.)
Bets now restricted to pools where the lack of value is less obvious? .....................co-mingling must be the biggest con ever pulled on punters..............has not even nearly lived up to the amazing payout benefits they promised,in fact,on the contrary!

Bigger pools as a result of international participation have only lead to greater outflows of cash from local pockets.

FULL STOP

Definitely .....................but they shout BIGGER POOLS loudly to disguise the fact that the relativity between gross and net is worse (nothing else explains poorer payouts) so the "takeout " is the actual beneficiary of co-mingling!

The only benefit is when Saftote is able to commingle into the host country for example, France, Singapore and the USA bar the UK. This eradicates the erratic payouts for a fancied runner paying R1.20 for a win or sometimes you see the same runner paying R10 for a win and R6 place because of the pools being so small for example in Hong Kong (Morning) or Jebel Ali. The Tote is losing out significantly where bets are placed in the open bet exotics and this is a major problem. If all the exotics could be placed with the Tote only the exotic pools will be enormous and the punter will definitively benefit there.
