mikeynz Posted October 25 Posted October 25 Were our lot included in the World tote pool on the Cox Plate ? That $1.90 paid out on the winner, great. Quote
Shab Posted October 26 Posted October 26 I think all from valley were world pool. It's just another way of screwing more out of the punters. Quote

The big plus is the liquidity and punters have the choice to decide if the marginally lower price is satisfactory or not and therefore whether they choose to bet. I doubt NZTAB would do it if they didn't think it increased revenue overall. They commingle with TABCORP where the reverse is the case. Quote
