www. bookies.co.za

I noticed that the site has been revamped. It looks good. Well done guys

First class (tu)

I went on it earlier and nearly crapped myself, was such a surprise. Very nice site

In the horse racing section, there is something called 'claims', what is that_somebody can explain??

Someone more upto date can probably explain better than me,sure the bookies have to declare when a horse has been layed to lose R25k or R10k when they are first timers

Imo a claim is an antepost bet of a set amount( most centres R25k minor centres less ) set out by the bookies .

Date Time Race Num Horse Full Claim ½ Claim New Price Amount Status
Mon 1 13:04:17 6 7 UMKOMAAS 9/2 33/10 R 25000 Early
Mon 1 13:04:35 5 5 WHITE TIE 10/1 7/1 R 25000 Early
Mon 1 13:25:16 5 5 WHITE TIE 7/1 9/2 R 25000 Early
Mon 1 13:59:09 7 4 SERMON 5/1 7/2 R 25000 Early
Mon 1 15:04:38 7 3 SHAUNIE BOY 18/10 14/10 R 25000 Early
Mon 1 15:48:42 3 3 PAGAN DANCE 5/1 7/2 R 25000 Early

all the above runners opened up at their respective odds and somebody punted them antepost to win R25K each .

Sometimes horses are overpriced in the market and some bookies claim them thereby shortening their odds . Others are just fancied and so attract money antepost .Imo

Yup just a bit slow on 1st login
