Betting Education

.....taken the liberty of C&P..... A J Yorkers post from another thread where it may get lost....

We live in a social media and influencer era.
People more interested in their phones or gaming.

A betting site such as TAB or Hollywood should try teach people how to bet on the various open and fixed odds options by creating/developing a play-to-earn app where based on challenges or quizes completed you earn a R10 or so voucher to be able to wager on said options.

Example:
What is a swinger?
1. List of swinger options. (banker, boxed, etc.)
2. How to calculate a swinger.
3. How to calculate winnings.
4. How field sizes effects a swinger.
5. Reward given for said betting option.

You'll therefore create interaction and build a betting option understanding.
The newbie will therefore feel more confident through knowledge gained and maybe encourage a few friends to try learn too.
Building interest will cost money but at this point what is there to lose?

A competition can also be created based on the above thereafter.
Choose a racemeeting and have a swinger competion.
All other exotics will also form part of this play-to-earn or pay-to-learn scenario.

Only way new interest is currently drawn is by creating boozed up fashion shows with an after party as a highlight.
The horse has been forgotten and so has the tote.

.....have often thought that the operators are missing a big opportunity here.....and us up country folk have an ideal un used venue and facilities for such an operation....there are many empty rooms at Turffies....one should look at kitting out one of them with a computer "lab"....10 -20 desk tops with a few large flat screens....and from there run workshops on non race days from that venue.....and on race days allow access for tote account punters to use for online punting....have the okes like Clyde Darryl et al give lessons on bet types etc....:huh:
