Final pool £114,875:after deductions, am I picking this up wrong? If its a guaranteed £100k pool and the pool is obviously a lot biggar than that, does that mean the tote have added nothing?

Think if that was after the 27% was taken out ( roughly 30k ) that would make the pot before the added 100k about 45k. Seems about right imo.

Glasgow, I don't think you're right there, but maybe I'm wrong
The t0te guarantee is to make it up to 100k net guaranteed, not add 100k So, for example, if there was approx 64k gross, 50k net just before the off... The t0te would put in another 64k to make it 100k net That's how I understand it There has been numerous threads, especially last few days on the non transparency of how the t0te put into their own pot, or seeding as they call it |

that was my thinking, they guarantee the pot to be a minimum 100G, if it's at 100G no need to add their own money. BUT, how much have they already added and maybe the algorithm tells them to add more which may make it over the 100G. Nobody knows.

Agree with you both, sounds more plausible than my theory, maybe another topic that they need to be more transparent about.

That was my understanding as well, swifty and reg but that size of pool on a Tuesday night at Southwell, just didn't seem right. I just assumed I must be wrong.
Some really strange goings on with the tote. |

Reminds me of the Tote scandal of years ago exposed by John McCririck.

When Shine On, at 11-1, beat Tina's Gold, at 20-1, in an 18-runner handicap, and the Tote dual forecast paid a derisory 45p for a 10p stake, McCririck refused to accept the Tote's assertion that it was "just one of those inexplicable turn-ups".

"these various abuses and malpractices were not the consequence of any arrangement by employees of the Tote for their own financial advantage", but were motivated by "misplaced enthusiasm"
yeah right. |
