betfair= the malganaut from what i've 'alledgedly' heard
Bayman if the alledged horse The JuggerMALnaut is the alledged horse
Did they do it to make $$$
OR
Did some jealous people out there do it to stuff up my LATE MAL tip
Also I dont like Jackpots [sorry JJ]
There is so much $$$ invested in P4s and Trebs/Quads etc that thier
should be a dividend irrespective on that particular race
There should be a winner to every outcome.
For instance I take a P4 ONLY if I like that particular race, when its
jackpotted to another race it may be a race I am not interested in
I'm Sure the F4 investments on last nights race when only 3 runners finished were Refunded and NOT Jackpotted as Bayman suggests. I agree there should have been a dividend declared with any other runner for 4th but their rules must have obligated them not to declare a dividend.
.. There are 2 ways of looking at your thought on whether there should be Jackpots or not.
1/ If you have a Bet and dont select the numbers in the correct order, you LOSE and shouldn't expect anything back despite No one else winning.
2/ why should some one else Like Me, get Inflated dividends by betting on Jackpot races when i didn't contribute any money originally to the pool in the Race that Jackpotted?
The Fact is that there are Jackpots and its up to the punters to take Advantage of it or Dont. Rules change all the time in Buissness, sport, punting etc, and the people who adapt quicker will be more successful than those that stay idle and whinge.
I Punt to make money and it is a lot easier to do that by Betting into a pool thats paying back 120% (This % varies considerably, depending on the size of the jackpot and pool size) than into a pool thats paying back 75-80% like they do on a norMAL F4 Race.
There are many Inconsistencies in payouts between different Bet types and by different tabs.
eg. commission % varies on different bet types.
.... Trifectas pay any order where as First 4s Jackpot.
.... Trebles on Unitab Pay 1st, 1st and 2nd or 3rd or Any in order to get a winner where as Quaddies on S/Tab Jackpot.
An Example of Unfairness is the Following situation. WA combine with VIC with Quaddie pools. Gawler Dogs Quaddie Jackpots Tuesday afternoon so WA Punters get nothing Back obviously BUT DO NOT get the Opportunity to Bet on the Jackpot as the Pool Jackpots to Angle Park Wednesday Mornings and only the VIC Tab bets on this meeting as it is TOO Early for WA tab to Bet on this meeting so WA punters DON"T have an opportunity to get their money Back unless they have a VIC account. Same thing occurs with NZ Gallops from time to time.
There are numerous things that are unfair in our eyes BUT its up to us whether we Bet or not under these rules.
There is now plenty of Tabs and Bet types to choose from now so my advice is to select the Tab and Bet type that best suits YOU and Go for itand Dont get DISTRACTED by things you CANT Control.
