Very meagre Tote pools, 135k at Donny for the Placepot .....

Were is the berk

Good question Charbar ?

Tote dont just limit accounts, they close them.

At least betfair give you £100 per month in worst case scenario, tote wont even give that.

I got this. I refused call - why would i take it when my lifetime loss is about £300?  .....           I am following up with an email as we have recently tried to contact you to discuss your recent activity on your Tote account, but your phone was switched off.

Frm memory think my total deposits were around £1800 with returns about £3,200 so I was well in front.

Obviously appointing people to do these jobs when they have no idear about betting whatsoever.

Probably sets them up with credentials to work for the Gamblimg Commission.

I certainly wasn’t banned for winning, though I did suspect at the time it was to avoid paying me the 10% bonus on winnings that they used to offer ( that offer has gone now).

Nobody is welcome at the tote. If they were, Westberks wouldn’t have to spend all his time shilling on a rival betting companies forum.

Doncaster: Dividend £124.60. Winning units 1,076.80

Westberks is like a drug pusher loitering outside a rehab centre, trying to get former addicts hooked again just as soon as they have got themselves clean.

He lurks around the forum, trying to get reformed pool betting addicts to blow all their betfair spend budget on his higher margin more dangerous tote products.

Predatory.

When  O when will they realise there takeout in the placepot is far to much ffs it should be half as much.

... btw, do the Tote make public a detailed list of just wherabouts all the profit goes ??

The Placepot has always been a sleeping giant,poorly marketed and  a shockingly high takeout.I think it could be massive if they got some sharp minds on it.

I always dive in when there is a decent pot.

The Tote will be adding to the pool throughout the afternoon

"I always dive in when there is a decent pot."

Would you dive in if you knew the operator was playing in it in huge size at an unfair advantage that effectively gives them an extra 5-10% (that's my estimate)?

Its not exactly the crime of the century either is it.

If a self excluded slot addict got sent a free spin email in error, it hardly warrants jail time.

Could they not just have deleted the email? Im sure their junk email is stuffed full of free spin offers from all sorts of dodgy companies anyway. Mine is, and ive never even played them.

oh go away the management, with your self righteous holier than thou attitude.

We've been through this. It was most likely an administrative error, for which the company were fined and paid the price for.

Not all slot addicts are hopeless victims. The reason these games exist, is because people want to play them. Same as the reason drug dealers exist, because people want drugs. In both examples, some people get addicted, and lose everything. I dont like slots or FOBTs any more than you do, but people are going to play them regardless.


The tote, is another outlet for betting that i can no longer use. How is stopping me from doing a placepot going to stop people getting addicted to online slots? It wont.

You can educate people, just as you can educate people not to take drugs, but that is only going to go so far to solving the problem, its still going to happen. Where there is a demand, somebody is always going to step in to supply.


Unless you have a proper solution to the problem, rather than just an anti bookmaker, anti betting industry rant about why they are all so evil and predatory and to blame for all this with their free spins and FOBT promotions etc, then stop bothering me.

And if you really have been through as many bookmaker accounts as you claim to have, then you are just as big a part of the problem. The reason they need to keep rinsing mugs, is so they can pay people like you who just cant help themselves, taking all the easy money on offer, then coming back with new accounts every time an old one is closed. And i believe multi accounting is also illegal, so maybe if you are throwing people in jail for winning money, then a little stretch inside for you could be in order too.

I dont blame myself or the bookmakers for the situation i find myself in. I blame the gambling commission, the anti gambling campaigners, and the media who supported them (and the so-called punters who should have known better).

Anyway, im not getting into another troll exchange with you. This thread is for slagging off the tote. So unless you want to comment on them seeding their own pools, their heavy handed safer gambling team closing too many accounts, or their scrapping of the bonuses on dividends and the terrible value of the world pool, then i suggest we leave it there.

with how its structured now with whopper takeout %s & the scandalous house tickets, you are massive 2nd fav to win long term playing in anything other than (rare) big rollover pools

Very sad - and no way whatsoever that you could possibly have seen it coming.

It was sad. And no, i was unable to do anything about it. Just like that slot addict who was unable to stop himself going on an online casino binge because he received a free spin email.

Cant be anything sadder than hanging around a betting forum though, when you dont even bet.
