As you all know on less than 8 runners the place is only paid on the first 2.

Can anyone tell me a reason for this when the tab takeout is a set amount so doesnt matter how many runners they still get their %.

Just curious???

Cheers

Rhats true they could offer it on a three horse race....it may have something to do with bookies....but not sure on that may send the tab an e-mail and ask them

Gday Kenchar,

I may be wrong (quite likely I am) but i think i notice that in races where only 2 divs are paid the place that the divs are somewhat higher than you would expect normally... bearing in mind that I don't bet the place, it is just an observation..

Kenchar

Don't know the reason why, just the way it's always been. Some races in the UK they pay 1-2-3-4, seems to be on very big fields, but not all.

The divs are higher because the pool is only divided into 2 placings & not 3.
