I think they initially use to guarentee 2% more than the NSW tote, so would probably go back to something like that if the pools joined up.

As a professional greyhound place punter i love it as my bets dont kill the pools as they would on STAB, however currently this year betting on STAB, IAS and the NSW tote, i have actually returned a better profit on STAB, followed by IAS then NSW. I think its because of the unpredictibility of the place odds in greyhounds and regularly i get returns of $3 win and $2 a place on 1 tote, but the other 2 pay a lot less the place. The best advantage for me with IAS is large sized bets not affecting the pools.
