irish tote

have to head back into ladsbroke

Anyone know the reason?

H.R.I.told tote Ireland to cease the partnership.

A big backwards step surely

Will cut down my investments on placepots and jackpots massively anyway

ye i use it all the time,pain to have to enter a ladbrokes,seems silly move.

Did anyone see the promotion of the €200 Free Bet on the hennessy meeting, if you bet €500 up to 31st Jan?

Also use the facility quite a lot. Won't be continuing on Tote website. Would like to hear the rationale for this. poohna?

I also use the tote through my BF account as it helps to have accounts on one site. So it defo will reduce my tote activity.HRI fools have a lot to answer for while P@ssing tax payers money up in the air. Any idea which genius thought this one up?

The smallest and inconsequential of betting businesses dismissing the biggest operator. Sure what would you expect from a business that is poorly run, lacks initiative and innovation and has an immoral take out. Maybe poohna can throw some light on this development

shame i often do tote on here also,exacta are my fav,like when u fancy a 10/1 or bigger to win do an exacta with the field ,have a decent win record also,some big divs

I can understand HRI not wanting to pay a percentage of turnover to betfair for business going through the betfair website that would probably otherwise have gone through the tote's own website.

However, if the tote's own website was half as fast or as user-friendly as the betfair version, then it would not have lost so much turnover to the betfair website.

Is there any chance that the betfair software interface might now be handed over for use on the tote website?

As regards the Hennessy promotion, what happens if the Hennessy meeting falls victim to the weather?!  No Plan B in the small print.

For those with free minutes on their mobile deal please beware that the Tote have moved from Portlaoise to Kildare.

The new landline no is 045 491830

The new landline number should also be used by those like me who pay for their minutes but cannot use them to call 1850 or 1890 numbers!

is the tote site that poor guys?

Try doing a banker (or, heaven forbid, double banker) trifecta and working out what you have backed from the printout that is generated!

joke outfit with unreal margins.should be sold or scrapped

Looks like the Tote have thrown their toys out of the pram. Todays RP enlightens us to the reason for the divorce from BF. Tote can no longer associate with BF because BF failed to reach an agreement on contributions to Irish racing. How come it took them so long to make this earth shattering move. From memory BF's contribution issue was more or less clarified early 2010 or late 2009. Clearly decisions are difficult to make and the word tardy comes to mind for their policy execution. What negative impact will this decision have on the Tote's turnover. Wonder if any HRI executives have purchased shares in BF. Guess I shouldnt even go there.

Interesting to see that the tote dividends for Naas today are appearing on At The Races before they appear on the tote's own website - there is absolutely no excuse for creating the possible suspicion that bets are still being added to the pools after the off, which is the only possible excuse for not publishing dividends as soon as the judge has declared the result.

Perhaps this is just an over-reaction to the past problems correcting the website when the tote anticipated the judge's decision, got it wrong, and had no way of amending the published result and dividends.
