I watch a certain site that all day every day gives you constant updates of the percentage being bet on the win pools.. CONSISTENTLY the 3 Mainland Totes bet between 117 and sometimes 119 % Austote normally bets about 109%

Now you can call the takeout 14% fine that is what they say (the TABS that is, but the markets don't lie, nor do maths)... where does the other 3 to 4% go?

As an Example I will use R2 Moe the one you have quoted earlier

STAB 117.5%
NSW TAB 118.6%
UNITAB 117.4%

No 114% markets there.... Those are all win market % bet by the 3 mainland TABS on Moe R2 Today

There are 3 takeouts because there are 3 TOTES who are entitled to an individual take out... If they are combines wouldnt they only be entitled to 1 takeout?
