This is the Superfecta thread.. I started it to generate ideas to increase betting turnover, and therefore income to trotting.........the gallops run the place already, they are creeping all over us, with night time meetings also!
I was not a party to it, of course I don't like it, it happened in about 1986...a long time ago!......All I said was they almost got away with it!.......I can tell that I saw him at the tote window collecting! He has been warned off for life as a result!

This week's TattsBet jackpot is $35,000 on the 1st race trifecta at Albion Park.............let's see what the final pool get's to........if it gets to over a $100k.........it's probably worth the TAB's return on about 2-3 races......clever work!
If its on tri/f4, that is OK, I was suggesting Superfecta as a rejuvenation for punters, chance of big "divvie" for a smaller investment.....the occasional novelty betting type event as a marketing idea!
Maybe, the TAB should hold back 50% of all jackpot pools during the week, for a 1st race Saturday big jackpot, whether Trifecta, 1st 4 or Superfecta! On the subjest of 1st 4's, Sky Channel should be showing the 4th placegetter on the front dividend screen, and not going to another race where possible until the 4th placegetter is notified! How frustrating, when it is a photo for 4th, and you are waiting to see if you got the 1st 4, and they nick off to another meeting..........maybe they should flash this on the screen in the corner somewhere, whilst the next race is running!
BIG 6 pool at Menangle tonight $1,564 - don't tell me a Superfecta pool on Beautide's race wouldn't have been over $10,000.......is the TAB trying to save face with itself??
