What about this French way of betting?
East Coast RacingWhat about this French way of betting?Owners sometimes have a few in the same race and certainly the stables can have 5! plus in the same race,would take care of those "unfancied" stablemates when then win.
The Ecurie System
One important difference between French and British racing is the écurie system. In France horses from the same stable or ownership are coupled for betting purposes. In a race, if horses 2 and 5 are in the same ownership they are said to be ‘écurie’. This is shown in the race card by both horses having E1 in the column detailing their names. Should there be another pair of horses in the race both owned by a single, different owner they will be designated as E2. For win bets only, if you back one of those écurie horses you are backing them both. So if in the example above you have 10 euros to win on horse 2, which comes in last, should horse number 5 win, then you will still collect. Unsurprisingly, this ‘écurie’ or coupling process will be reflected by you receiving a shorter price than if the horses were not coupled.

quinellas went from 14.75 to i think 17.5%
exacta 16.5% to 20%
doubles 17% to 20%
in one fell swoop
and that is criminal too!!
it was another nail in the coffin for racing.
the excuse was they need parity!!!
so instead of wa reducing to levels of vic, it increased vic to wa levels.
and look what has happened to pari mutuel turnover here.
it is in freefall, and long may it continue!

and i have it on good authority, that wa tab(viz RWWA) has taken the place of tas tab, for giving extravagant rebates.
so your average joe may be paying 20% for trifectas, but the favoured few(depending on the deal they can negotiate) are only paying a commission of 20% less their rebate.
so basically here we have a government owned entity, partial to ripping off your average joe, to give expert joe's syndicate a discount.

No different to going to Coles your bill is $12.71 and Coles saying to the customer we want $12.80.
Tabcorp - a law unto itself.
Fat chance of that happening. They would pretend to discuss it then turn the blame onto the corporates. God forbid we have a go at the battling WA Tab. Wez and DMac were crapping on about them on inside running this week. Then had the audacity to say go down to your local TAB and bet instead. WA Tab fixed odds are essentially William Hill 8-}
Wished they had this form of betting on the Black Opal today. Bummer.
I love hearing the trainers comments after the race.Shame he didn't mention the winner when he was talking about the fav before the race. :(
