If one backs or lays more than one horse in a race, it becomes a massive hit.

I just did a realtime example @ 5% commission over a certain timespan.

Turnover $44,296.62
Profit $710.81
POT 1.60%
1.50% turnover tax -$664.45
Nett Profit $46.36
So POT drops to 0.10%
And if it goes to 2%, -$175.12, or LOT 0.39%

It cannot be successful.

So will they apply the levy to backers only, layers only, split between matched bets, or perish the thought.....both!!!!
