Yes Party, i took one over the phone with someone there. A Claytons one for a better term. I didnt believe what i read in the terminology so i rang and asked if they could walk 1 through with me.
The result, as was explained, was if we took 4x mules @ $10ea then the TAB equivelant would have to pay $2.50pl. I told him "WOW set odds, i like that"
The chap was pretty chuffed in himself until i then said " The bit where i have to pick from the races you decide though, is sort of like me coming to your house for a game of backyard cricket but i have to bat french style" The conversation dulled there after.
I think thats the point here. I like set odds before hand but this all revolves a house advantage because of set betting races ( the wide open ones ). The $56 we added up together ( i just picked #2 in each race for our on the phone example ) is where they will also catch the mug punter who starts multiplying enough of those $56's until he visualises a new car in the driveway. Good agency, dumb idea.
