Rolling Doubles

PHUMELELA MEDIA RELEASE
SUBJECT: Rolling Doubles reintroduced on SA races
DATE: Sunday 29 September 2019
RELEASED BY: Phumelela Gaming


TAB will reintroduce Rolling Doubles on all South African race meetings with effect from this Monday 30 September.
Rolling Doubles were discontinued last month in favour of a single R6 unit Daily Double on SA and many international race meetings. The Daily Double has shown steady growth since its introduction, but a significant number of TAB customers have clamoured for the return of Rolling Doubles and TAB is acceding to their wishes.
Consequently, Rolling Doubles (races 1 and 2; races 2 and 3; races 3 and 4 etc) will be in operation again on South African race meetings from this Monday. The Daily Double will be retained for many international race meetings and the new BLITZ Race Meeting, which groups seven of the best races daily into one meeting offering five bets - Place Accumulator, Pick 6, Jackpot Quickmix, Daily Double and Pick 3.
The Daily Double is on races 4 and 5 at BLITZ meetings and on the last two races at most international meetings.
The unit of betting for both Daily Doubles and Rolling Doubles will be R2 effective this Monday 30 September.
Simultaneously the unit cost of the Pick 3 will be increased to R2. Rolling Pick 3s (races 1 to 3; races 2 to 4 etc) are offered on all race meetings in this country with a daily Pick 3 on many international meetings.

Fecking eejits

Well someone is reading ABC!!

Are there no limits to their bad decisions and backtracking .
Really don't have a clue what the customer wants!!!

Well done to them.

The Pick 3 should have remained at R1 a unit. R2 a unit might lead to bigger payouts but will be more costly to play a permutation which could see a drop in pools.

By doing away with the Aus Jackpot in the morning, they kicked themselves in the foot, for instance today Sunday morning there is no meeting from the East, so the Jackpot pool could have easily reached 15k.

Finally some sense returns - however why the need to increase the unit cost of the Pick 3 ? For me personally I have taken the occasional Pick 3 - but would take a lot more should the option of fractional betting be offered with a Pick 3 - now I will not be taking any more Pick 3s .....

......I actually migrated from taking doubles to taking more P3's......but now who knows .....may not take any of them.....dey f@cked me mojo.....

you can take a fraction with hollywood open bets(and I presume other bookies taking open bets) - so if p3 perm is R500 you can play any amount from R1 upwards

Three Aus Harness meetings currently in progress yet for some strange reason Trifecta and Quartet bets are only available on the one meeting. Why?
Surely more pools increase turnover and churn over.
