Bimbo 732 Report post Posted September 2, 2017 The pools aren't commingled, but the girl on the television is promoting betting on Quaddies as a good idea. Telling people to get involved and how they can use the computer to help them make their selections. At least Michael Guerin did the correct thing on the other channel and pointed out what it meant for punters and told them not to have any big bets on the tote.

Got a small return on late quaddie at Caulfield. I was better off without the commingling for sure given the dividends in Aus.

Foaming 28 Report post Posted September 3, 2017 A bloke in our pub syndicate put on 8 $50 5% first fours on Sat morning. You can imagine our dismay in the afternoon looking at the pools knowing that even if he got one up the return was going to be less than the bet.

rdytdy 5,335 Report post Posted September 3, 2017 The problem with the comingling came at the Aussie end and NZ wasn't the only one affected. With regard to comingling to highlight it's benefit. Without it Chocante only paid $2.70 on the tote here in NZ for his third placing and paid $8.90 in Australia. Kiwi's were vastly underpaid. Place Fixed Odds were $5.00 though.

You got shafted whatever way you bet on the NZ TAB.$8.70 tote and $5.55 fixed the place on tab.com.au The percentages they had on those first 5 and first 8 finish markets at Hastings were unbelievable. With the prices they had up on the weekend the turnover must have been tiny and the margins enormous. Nice First Call Special though.
