Noticed it close to start time and wasn't near a TAB to put a bet on. Hopefully they weren't accepting bets after the field went down to four runners and then paying them out as refunds.

Tauhei Notts 1,413 Report post Posted October 30, 2021 This is stark raving mad. Imagine that is one backed $85.95 on #1, $71.43 on #2, $58.82 on #3 and #55.56 on #4. For a total spend of $272.64 one would collect $300. If the figures posted are exact it means only one thing. The TAB are useless. Horse racing in our country is in a big pile of excrement if this is the industry's monopolistic betting agency. I learned about bookmaking in about 1965 when I laid 4 to one for 1s 3d about a toy horse at Escalado. My weekly pocket money was 5 bob. That loss was a salutary lesson about probability theory as applied to racing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
