From Thursday 8 September, the requirement that TAB Rolling Doubles must be taken twice and that the amount bet on the Pick 3 must be a multiple of R2, will fall away.
The unit cost of both bets remains R1 and going forward, a Rolling Double can be played once, while a Pick 3 can be bet at R1 per combination.
Also, from 8 September the minimum amount for online bets on race meetings in South Africa, Kenya, Mauritius and Zimbabwe, as well as Place Accumulator and Jackpot Quickmixes, will be reduced to R1, provided that in the case of fractional betting the percentage of the bet played is not less than 1%.
The minimum bet amount in retail outlets remains R2 for Swingers and R6 for other horseracing bets.
Thanks for the update Bob. There's nothing to celebrate there, we complained about this crap when it was introduced but we were ignored, sadly it took a couple of years for common sense to prevail.
I still cannot play an online HK tote double with GC Tab.
My double bets are acceted at an outlet.
I have raised this with betting staff at GC to no avail.
`Error msg Paraly not allowed`
I can take doubles at any other venue.
On another issue,for the past two days in GC, online betting for Durbanville 24/09 has been uavailable.
anyone knows the reason?
Also, Track and Ball which is part of Gold Circle, the Double and Pick 3 has not changed to R1 a unit. An error message keeps coming up. I did email Track and Ball but got no response.
On Interbet however its working perfectly. I had no issues taking Pick 3s or Doubles even for Singapore and Hong Kong.
Tabgold should offer fixed odds betting including sports betting, a one stop shop. Currently Track and Ball offers Tote Betting but not for all centres at times. Also you cannot take any Jackpot Quick Mix or PA Quickmix. No Soccer Pool betting is offered on Track and Ball. Interbet is ahead but their sport offering is not vast like other online bookmakers.
Since the start of the new Hong Kong season and the Pick 3 reverting to R1 a unit the Pick 3 Pool for Hong Kong is reaching around R2800. Last season it was around R1200 to R1500 and occasionally going over R2000. R1 a unit hasmade a difference. The next step is if the Hong Kong Pick 3 get carried over it must go to their next meeting. That what happened before.
In the UK before the last Pick 3 in the night was reaching over R4000 and nearing R6000 and when it was carried over they had pools of over R10 000. Sadly that bet has been done away. Shaheen Shaw made the UK pools grow at the time.
On another note, all the carryovers of Singapore, where does it go to.
