Lol muthi.....

Told this story before, but always chuckle thinking of it.. Was with a chap at the local... He put 25k on a hottie overseas... Was 3/10... Duly shat in.. Paid R1-30 on the tote for a win.... R12-50 A Drum.... Never seen such an unhappy winner in my life....

.....one has got to ask how do these tote anomalies continue to happen.....and what are the tote operator doing about it to rectify and install confidence.....I do believe from time to time that strange results are because some idiot not realizing the size of a mainly international pool bets a big wad and lands up buying back his own tom.....however there are shrewdies out there making big tom on the inflated fractions of these manipulated payouts.....one has to only have a sizable tote place bet on a good thing.....then go to a bookie and have a smaller place wager at tote odds(open bet)....cancel the tote place bet at the jump and your odds on horse is paying 2 to 6 times more..... and one is only risking a fraction of the initial tote bet..... :whistle:
