Purpleheart,
What do you want the TAB's to do about it? Not a doubt in the world it was the mug punter approach to picking names that caused this divvy to be 1/10th of what it should be. If you can legislate against that you'll rub out about 80% of the money invested through TAB's each race.
A similar thing happened at Canterbury night races a couple of years back when Woodlands/Hawkes had the tri. From memory all three were around $8-$12 mark and the tri paid $190. In the field of 14 or so it should have paid $1000. Big Jack might have had something to do with it or it could have been the mugs following a stable blindly.
