It is probably unfair to compare a race that is 2 months away( without final weghts,acceptances or draws) with a meeting starting within an hour!

Rob, Maybe they were waiting for card changes from the course, They would prob rather wait for them, and price up correctly rather than have deductions and revised betting!

Rob don`t you think exchanges can create false markets? especially if they price up too early? and the value hunters move in before there is much liquidity?

Im sure there will be alot of fun and game in the early days, They would finally be able to catch the crooked Jockeys And Trainers.

Hibs,you stated that there are 100 bookmakers on Interbet plus God knows how many other on-line bookmaker sites,all apparently finding it worthwhile.
What is your estimate of the SA internet market that makes you believe that it "is not enough"
Overseas bookmakers entering the market have surely done their homework !

Rob for starters you will be quite shocked at the amount of punters that have no internet access of their own at home, and none at all at the weekend,Saturday the busiest days racing of the week,is the quietest day of the week for us here.(always put that down to lack of internet access?)
