Archer 296 Report post Posted June 13, 2020 I put 30 a win on the horse, he ran 4th. my bonus 30 dollars was to be put on another horse paying 1.80 a place, instead of getting a return of 54 dollars, it indicated my return was 24 dollars !!! Apparently they deduct my bonus from the return divvy and give me whats left .................. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been using them a bit last few weeks, keeps the account ticking over . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the way it has always been done since they started paying out bonus bets as fixed odds bets only. Also, when the results first go up all the placegetters from 4th back go up in racebook order, until they have the confirmed official placings back to last. So in your case no1 originally showed as 4th and your horse, no2, showed as 5th. Someone from the TAB should come on an explain all these things to disgruntled punters, but I suppose they have gotten rid of all the coal face people.

If you have $100 bet on a $3 shot you only get $200 in your account if your horse wins Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Rum 1,833 Report post Posted June 14, 2020 9 minutes ago, Archer said: Never again for this lad. Problem is they give a free bet and give stake plus winnings , it would be tough to lose . Bung max on horse loses , finishes 4th then Bung on a 1.01 shot in one of those Albion Park donkey races for a place and there's your lost bet back . It would be too easy , that's the problem I think they had . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's their $30 you used for your bet, so you just get the profits which actually cost you nothing to get. tasman man 11 and puha 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have $100 bet on a $3 shot you only get $200 in your account if your horse wins Effectively, yes, but realistically your account goes down $100 then goes up $300 only if it wins, the gross being a gain of $200. But yes, Archer has gone off prematurely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slam dunk 1,317 Report post Posted June 14, 2020 One has to marvel at the marketing experts at TAB. Their innovative thinking and enterprise enables switching customer from tote betting to fixed odds. Next week or the week after I'll marvel even more more when they switch their "talents" to marketing fixed odds punters onto tote odds. Yes racing is really fortunate having these geniuses.

wobbly 76 Report post Posted June 14, 2020 SD...you are on to it. Ownerplus (bonus odds for elite punters betting on their own horses) has just switched from FO to tote. Perhaps they have tired of chasing the fixed odds rainbow? Patiti 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leggy 4,076 Report post Posted June 14, 2020 I guess you have to be able to read to make sense of the promotion: Please note that the ‘Potential Return’ is displayed underneath your selected bet. This is calculated as ‘Dividend’ (Total winnings) minus the value of the Bonus Bet you have applied. (e.g. Potential Dividend $70.00 – Bonus Bet Stake $10.00 = Potential Return of $60.00) Huey 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how you feel Archer......I was with the wife in the supermarket and we saw the Soup on special so we bought a can along with some Lasagna.When we went to the Self Serve machine it would not give us the special price. We didn't have our Club Card so we had to join the long service lines. A wait there , impatience took over , so we dropped the soup in bin and returned to the SS to buy lasagna. Then wife couldn't figure how to complete transaction so she just left it and walked out.The supervisor who advised at start of transaction chose to ignore her. We showed them.......took a stand , gave up. Problem was I missed out on my meal ! Gruff 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
