How is this possible?

Hi Robert

We have commingled pools into the UK Tote on Trifectas for more than a year now. The pool is hosted in Pounds and every R1 represents about 8% of a Pound. Therefore, you could have a carry-over despite having a winner in SA.

The only way to avoid this is to offer the bet based on the Pound equivalent to R1. At the current exchange rate the bet will be too costly. Boxing 3 runners will work out over R50.

The rules and policies can be found by following the link below:

Point 06.1.8 clarifies this incident.
