Hi all

I was looking at Unitab dividends and pools for a race and was surprised at the difference in the pools from to minutes to go till 0 to go.

At the 3 minute point before the jump the win pool was $35000 and at the jump it went to $99000 it was still updating as the race was being run final win pool $205000?

Does the speed of the computer make a difference or is this the way it is with Unitab.

Are there other sites where more accurate/time dividends diplayed in real time. Or is there particular software one needs.

Regards

Real time data feed is a as best as you might get.
To rely on the web, well yeah it may take a bit longer, sort of traffic in a bottle-neck during peak hour.

Dedicating your PC might speed things up a bit.
This can be done, but my post showing which modem to use, got deleted.

Also don't forget what people are like.....next time you are the tab have a look at the counter with 3 minutes to go then 1 minute go everyone tries to get on at the last minute because most are betting race to race and the races are so close together these days
