WTF the odds on favourite gets scratched after the exotics started, and the tote favourite with the lowest win and place dividend wins the race and the TOTE declares the other JOINT favourite the TOTE favourite????? Costing all of us our bets?????>

According to my sources the 5 was definitely the Tote Favourite by 22 units.

Good morning Bob

I hope that you are well.

With regards to the thread "Kempton Park Tote Favorite", I can confirm that the correct favourite was declared.

As one would have seen, there was a "joint" tote favourite at R3.10.

A favourite is declared on the runner that had the most tickets.

The difference was 398 tickets, in the favour of Number 5.

I hope that this gives clarity on this matter.

Thanks

Whoever wrote this statement is an amateur and has no clue about racing.

A favourite will NEVER EVER be declared because of as stated above by them and quoted below,


A favourite is declared on the runner that had the most tickets.

The tote favourite is declared on which horse got more money on it. Our dividend is rounded to the nearest 10. In the joint favourite case they will actually which runner has more win units wagered on it.

See rule below from Tabgold. Just to note on previous occassions like this, the correct favourite was declared as I checked other commingling partner websites where they actually show the amount wagered on each runner.

This is happening for years. I have been fortunate to get on, on quite a few occasions. You do not have to manipulate a pool by cancelling tickets.

Naresh you are being pedantic and I wish I hadn’t asked for a reply

Tickets = Units

Units = Money

Thanks for asking for a reply and to confirm the favourite.

They could have definitely worded the release better in my opinion. Normally tickets is referred for our exotic bets like, Jackpot etc. Units is for Wins, Places, etc. The other press release on commingling for win which will cost R19 not once did they mention the word tickets will cost R19. The release creates more confusion than confirming the tote favourite.

.....4Q should look to employ more pedantic people so that their standards can be elevated to a point where the average Joe punter can have trust in them again.....but seeing them continue dither and doddle about and continue to have below par standards will soon end in another business rescue....:oops:
