I have an experience from a long time ago that I think is funny. This was back when you only had betting at tote agencies (or maybe SP). On the TAB wall they placed the fields'. Directly under the field was a wooden box with your betting tickets and these tickets had the corresponding number of the race. So in row three there was a page of runners and directly under a box filled with betting slips with number 3 printed on them. I had a neighbour who was a bit of a desperate. He knocked on my door at about 11 am and asked me to go to the TAB with him. He had never punted before so I asked him why. He said he had blown most of his wages on the pokies at the pub after work and only had enough money to pay the rent. So he had no spending money till next week. He said he decided to put the rent money on a certainty with the intent of winning maybe $50 which he could use for his spending money. He picked out this horse very good weight for age horse called Winfreux. It was 1/3 on in pre markets. He intended to put his $200 rent money on the place which was no risk. So we went up to the tab and this horse was in race 5. He grabbed a ticket from the box below and put $200 a place on No. 1 Winfreux. Well it won easily and remarkably paid as more the place as it did for the win (This did happen at time with very short horses). I think it paid 55c a win and $60c a place. He was over the moon. He went to the window to collect after correct weight and the lady said that it was not a winning ticket. He said of course it was and looked at the tick which showed Horse No. 1. Unfortunately the ticket was a race 6 ticket. Someone had picked up a race 6 ticket and changed their minds and had put it back into the race 5 box (all the boxes were right next to each other so it was a common thing to happen). We checked race 6 and found No. 1 was a Tommy Smith stayer (General something???) having its first run back in a 1000m race. It was about 100/1. It ran nowhere and he went home to face the music. They separated about 3 months after that. But I cant be critical. A couple of weeks ago I placed a bet on Timeless Prince and took the best of the the 3 totes because it was paying more than the fixed price. I put it on Bet 365 and pressed the bet button and then went to look at the market on an upcoming race. Timeless Prince won and I think it paid $7.90. I went back to Bet 365 to check my winnings and there was nothing. I then saw a box on the right side which said the odds have changed and asking me to confirm the bet. I was so furious. Why would you ask to confirm the bet when the odds change when you are betting the best tote price. Of course the tote price will change. That is the nature of the beast. Very careful from now on to see the receipt number on the confirmation notice.
