Attention to the tote.
In case you have missed the obvious. If we wanted another bipot or PA for local racing, we would just ask for it, or play the EXISTING local exotics.
Today the Bipot Quickmix is entirely local races, so why would anyone with a brain double their exposure to the local racing results by playing this bet along with the existing local exotics. The PA quick mix is 4 out of 7 legs local races.
Punters speak with their pocket.
Pool only R10k on a Saturday. Pathetic. Hire better people, do analysis, rather than sit and do nothing and complain about people betting through the bookies.
They also need to educate the punter. How to play the bet and strategies to win, in simple layperson terms. I used to love the PA... It generally gave me an interest in the majority of the days racing, and whilst not a larger money making investment, invariably have a return to be used and lost at the next meeting...
That would be my "safe" play. And I would back it up or enhance it with places and duplas.
Teach them to play another day. (Pun intended)
And by punter, i mean the small punter... They are the people that grow the pools. If they perceive it as a "value" bet. Or a bet that they can get a return. Turnover has always been the key.
