Open Bet

Noticed that many Bookies in Kzn have stopped all open bets.

Has this impacted on the Tote pool positively? anybody noticed a change in dividends

What bookies Aryan ? Is this anything to do with them taking TT pictures ?

There's a lot going on right now.

The rumour is that some bookmakers have signed agreements with Phumelela which allow them to show pics in their shops and then get back bigger rebates than is the norm on tote bets that they put on the tote.

The big rumour doing the rounds is that the bookmakers are looking to go into direct competition with PGE by either creating a tote(unlikely), or by having a pooled open bet,with something like a bonus on top of what you win in order to entice punters to bet with them.They would then take back amongst themselves if they so chose.

All rumours,but where there's smoke there's fire and the chaos of the last few months looks like it starting to escalate as opposed to dissipating.

No Open bets at Marshal's

What!! so if all the bookies don't offer the open bet we gonna see the punters flocking to the flithy totes....()

Also No international racing coverage for the past 2 weeks at Marshal's.
Very frustrating as even results get posted very very late.

my policy...no pic...no bet

all open bets are directed to the tote.

I have promised myself, because of the contempt served on me, I will not place another bet on the tote.

Marshalls won't be signing any deals
