Soon you will be able to take the price on the Tote if doing a single.

good innovation, will obviously have limits and in small pools will cause price collapses. Has this already started?

No, not yet. They're putting the feelers out.

Bin bagged, are you sure the money is going into the pool?
From that screenshot, it looks like the T0te are just giving you the option to take a fixed (lower) price

We’ve got a horse trading at 4/1. Would you like to take 5/2! I’m guessing that’s just an example but it doesn’t look very tempting.

s.kenbo, the question is will the 'lock in' price ever be higher than the current bookie price or exchange price? I think we know the answer.

No. You may beat SP every once in a while if any horse is punted and you’ve locked in early. You’d probably still have beat that price with any books at the time though.

Should have added earlier... That looks like they are offering you a price that they will stand themselves... Not bad for them, as it looks like they're offering way under what is available elsewhere. May attract some on course casual punters.

Otherwise, if it's going into the pool somehow, it smacks of more of their "secret" seeding shenanigans. Can't they just carry on making enough already?

Reg 100% they clarified the money will go in the pool and they are not becoming a bookmaker. (even though they have a sportsbook albeit with no racing offering)

OK, cheers bin bagged

I will be interested in the logistics of how that works in practice, not that the T0te are likely to say... And also what sort of dividends are returned? And will they continue to guarantee matching or bettering SP?

Where's Westberks when you need him?

My guess is tote add it to the pool like a normal bet, but they are standing the difference between the final pool price and the fixed price available. As long as on average they beat the final pool price then that is profit for them.

Jamee, that sounds about right

Soon get pulled if not going their way

Anyone old enough to remember the horse called Big Finish trained by Brooke Sanders (Double Dutch fame). Back in 1990 Horse was 1/10 fav at Lingfield jumps and won 30 lengths. Because it very weak market “someone” put large bets on other 4 horses which led tote win on horse to be 4/1 against.
Bookies refused to pay out for weeks but in the end were told they had to.

Just wondering if you can manipulate tote price for this ?

Where is West Berks out Tote expert advisor on this so called innovation?

*our tote

Where's Westberks when you need him?


   

Skid row?

Hilarious given he is probably on a salary and not on here 24/7 like his detractors?

Again, hilarious from those that are incapable of constructive comment, sure you will agree GC, like me and my compy?

Moving from thread to thread sniping at every post leads me to guess you either need to reduce your meds or take a glass of water between drinks.

As already stated, you are incapable of anything constructive!!

BREAKING NEWS - SKY SPORTS NEWS POLL RESULTS.....

..... Surely not, this from the person who is totally against Multiple usernames. !!!

No surprise when anything constructive is challenged, my grandson aged 11 assures me it is a lack of intellect and a craving for attention that prompts cartoon responses!! HTH

Are YOU one user name GC as you always claim? I am but happy for a decent bet from you?

I’m just surprised there was 11% voted elsewhere!

YOU prove otherwise Numbnuts, if proved correct I will willingly donate 5k to a charity of your choice.

Ok GC, no worries about meting up with you then?

What has meeting me  got to do with you proving I have more than one username, nice deflection but a poor attempt just the same.

Simple GC and will make sure Westberks is there at the same time, no cost to you, Chester if you prefer?

So from your last 2 posts I gather you have No Evidence of me being a multi username. .... Apology accepted.

No apology and happy to meet with you and the Forum Mafia with Westberks alongside, all expenses paid for you?
