I consider myself to be a middle class person in most regards, yet given my monthly obligations, I cannot afford big bets but do want to play nearly everyday.
R6 minimum tote bets ,I believe is a barrier to many .
If Track and Ball listens and offers complete tote betting on a R1 minimum bet basis, with this contributing to the total tote pool, everybody wins.
I know of many, myself included that uses/ used Hollywood only because of the low minimum bet.
I'm wise enough to know that I'm not going to get rich this way ,yet I know of many big punters that sure did get poor. I do it for the thrill and to pass time,and it's pretty much the same to me winning with R2 on or a R100.
The alternative to Hollywood is Betxchange new website. I primarily use Hollywood for all my tote bets and Betxchange has the second option.
The key to tote exotics is structure of the bets. Even with R20 it is possible to structure your bets.
