Hollywoodbets.net is offering 15% bonus on all deposits. What are the tote doing? I can play all my tote bets on hollywoodbets, and have 15 percent extra, why the heck would I play on the tote? To do this for the tote would cost nothing since they're getting my 30% takeout anyway, and yet, sweet you know what from the tote.

read the t's and c's mate - I know nobody reads them but sometimes it's important

"Stakes placed on Open bets and Exotic bets will not be considered for the turned over amount and consequently the bonus element of the stake on these bets will be forfeited . "

It's easy to knock the tote as they mostly lead with the chin but whatever happens in future a strong tote is a must for racing to not only survive but to get a new lease on life.

The tote should accept that it is never going to be the first choice when it comes to any bet where fixed odds are available as a big strike needs some certainty in return and the tote pay outs are too heavily affected when large sums are placed in moderate sized pools.

The tote must concentrate on exotics but seriously consider introducing bets that can pay large amounts but in a format that will guarantee winners each time it is offered. If they do this it gives any punter a rock solid reason to play and this type of bet will be much more of an attraction to new players that is a must to increase the size and further attraction of the offered pools. The tote makes it's money out of turnover so why would a big paying bet with a guaranteed pay out methodology not make a whole lot more sense.

From a marketing perspective this would be a shoe in and I have designed a bet that will deliver on this promise. Would make the tote so much more attractive to newcomers and bring back all the disillusioned players as the bet places the punter first and foremost.
