Tauhei Notts 1,412 Report post Posted June 15, 2019 In a state of boredom I had a look at the odds at York races for tomorrow morning. I looked hard at race five. The total of the place pool was $11.00. Exactly. There are fourteen runners, so three place dividends. #13 is paying $6.20 for a place. If one deducts about 15.48% from the place pool that reduces it to $9.30; $3.10 per placed horse; so if a measly dollar was placed on that horse for a place it would be paying $3.10. It would appear that fifty cents has been placed on the horse. I always thought the minimum bet was a dollar. In the win pool the total turnover is $12.00 and #3 is showing $20.40 to win as is #13. That looks like 50 cents on each horse, but an unusual one is #4; it is showing $10.60 to win. If a lazy dollar had been placed on #4 and it is showing $10.60 on a $12.00 turnover that suggests a take out of merely 11.67%. These figures suggest to me some naughtiness going on. Please tell me where I am wrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty 575 Report post Posted June 15, 2019 11 minutes ago, NextPlease said: You can bet cents now. Not on the tote, as it is a minimum $1 bet for a place/win bet (and multiples of $1). You can bet cents on final field or sports events however. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruff 2,790 Report post Posted June 15, 2019 Hey ,every now and then they make mistakes to right the wrong, be alert and get some back ...although in saying that I thought they had O’guy over the odds at Ruakaka yesterday at 17s that ended up drifting to 21 very quickly???? Then I watched Spratts rideI compared it to her other ‘efforts’ on the day and then to her placed run at Te Rapa last time she rode it. Didn’t compare....Nothing worse than following a horse butchered by Lammas at puke, beaten by bias at Rotorua ( benefit of doubt)then to go around for a run today. There are to many variables in this sport as it is without having to factor in bloody good riders producing sub par efforts. Next time again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always good to see these types of collects Pondy, keeps us in the game a little longer the funny thing about this particular ticket was I had 4 marked on the slip in the last and the machine never read the other 3 , only gave me Poker Face lap of the gods.
