Mac, I am hoping that , if I read it right, bookmakers will still take the tote bets , but will pass them on in return for commission and we will still enjoy their service levels and not the Operators version!
In order for this to happen, however,the tote will have to extend the hours of their IT system-asking a lot I guess!!

Unfortunately,at this stage what I have heard is merely heresay,but I would say that some finality is going to be brought in terms of the whole PGE vs bookmaker battle within a short space of time now.

Where exactly we finish up only time will tell,but these are very interesting times if nothing else.

Rob, does Interbet`s TOTE run smoother than the actual TOTE?

No,but that is because it's system is just an interface into the Tote system..............that is the concern.................I am not sure any service provider can therefore provide better betting hours than Saftote!
