This starting meetings that are almost certain not to be completed are an absolute rip-off for punters,as although +- 42% of the PA is run,the take out is 100%(other exotics too).It is robbery!
If you relate it to a bookies double ....if only one leg is run you are paid,rightly,as a single bet but they don't tax you as if both horses won,just the tax on the one race.Another reason not to support the tote.
It is truly time that punters had a body,recognised by racing,to look after their interests!
