Vaal 8 - Wrong Result

Horse-racing (especially ex P) seems to be run with the same level of incompetence as the ANC runs SA...

Are these two entities being "run", or are people just occupying positions?

I remember in the 80’s an incorrect result was posted. The photo wrongly displaced the legs of a specific horse to another and vice versa. Perhaps not to the level now but I think incorrect results were posted occasionally without the populace knowing. Today we have social media.

If you played a pa yesterday please audit your tickets manually. Certain bookie paid out half of what was owed (disregarded the double up in the last leg of the correct result) had a bit of a fight this morning in order to get things rectified but it has since been sorted. Just maybe worth doing a manual audit of your tote bets with the bookies when these issues transpire.

Besides horseracing, your sports bets, etc should also be checked. On numerous occasions my team won but the bookie had my ticket has a losing ticket.

There was meant to be a press release coming yesterday

....went back on this site and read of the far too many times this type of error has been made before....and far too many affecting payouts of even bigger bets like P6 payouts and only then corrected later ...costing the operators money..... but never any constructive accountability other than a standard apology and no further sanction nor any blame...:whistle: .

That is because we forget about it or don't bother anymore as we never get a proper response,and that is exactly what they want.
Remember the other day when a double was supposed to pay a certain amount but ended up paying less without any scratchings?
And do you think they bothered to try explain even though they members on this forum?
And therefore I will not bother to play on the tote and rather play with the bookies.
Incompetence and shit service will bite them in the arse sonner rather than later.No one else to blame but themselves.

TAB4RACING MEDIA RELEASE
SUBJECT: Vaal Race 8 official payouts changed
DATE: 21 October 2022
RELEASED BY: 4Racing

TAB official payouts on Race 8 at the Vaal yesterday were changed after it was realised that the official result as posted by the National Horseracing Authority (NHA) judge was incorrect.
According to the NHA stipendiary stewards’ report on the race “the result of 11-5-3-4-12 was called by the judge to the stipendiary stewards’ boardroom. As this finishing order was correct, permission for this all-clear result to be disseminated was granted. However, when capturing the result, the judge incorrectly disseminated the result as 11-5- 4-3-12”.
The judge’s error was only spotted after TAB official payouts for the race had been declared and TAB then corrected both the result and the payouts.
TAB accountholder balances were automatically corrected to reflect the correct result and payouts. Any TAB retail customer who discarded winning Place, Swinger, Trifecta and Quartet tickets because of the incorrect official result must lodge a claim with TAB Customer Care (0861 444 822 or email customercare@4racing.com) or the manager of the outlet at which the bet was taken.
The same applies to TAB retail customers who were underpaid for winning bets as a result of cashing their tickets before the result was corrected. As an example, the Place Accumulator payout increased from R66.80 to R102.80 when the official payouts were corrected - any retail customer who collected the lower payout can lodge a claim for the amount they were underpaid.
TAB apologises to affected customers for the error and is investigating why TAB raceday auditors and operations staff did not notice the judge’s error in the first instance. Disciplinary action will be instituted if appropriate.
The NHA also intends to take internal disciplinary action if further investigation confirms the prima facie evidence that the judge entered the incorrect result.

EVERYTIME this happens, we hear the SAME THING. And yet, it happens again and again. How is it possible that a PUNTER can notice this error immediately, and yet the JUDGE, whose one job is to call the result correctly, and whoever verifies this, along with any other verification the judge themselves are supposed to do, could ALL miss this?

They need to check their systems to see the PA,or any other 'losing', tickets that where claimed at all TAB branches which where not actual winning tickets and see if the people who claimed them had any affiliation with the person who posted the wrong result.

Thanks OTA……the NHA can’t spell integrity.

Already spoken to a stipe about many cases of cruelty that have been ignored. Let’s see what happens ??

Mark if you got proof why not put it up on ABC?
What better place is there to name and shame the culprits and for everyone to see rather than letting the perpetrators get away with their crimes as usually happens with SA racing.
