TAB Racing (VIC)



		The Victorian TAB has entered into an exciting long term partnership with the South African racing industry, which will mean an exciting new adventure for Victorian punters. The Victorian TAB commenced pooling with South African races on Wednesday 23rd September 2009. "Pooling" means that Victorian punters will now bet directly into South African betting pools for Win, Place, Exacta, Duet and Trifecta. This means bigger, more stable pools, and some new and interesting changes to your favourite bet types when betting on South African Racing! The key changes you will notice when betting on South African races are: - A Fourth place dividend is paid for all races with 16 or more starters - No place betting is available for races with fewer than 8 starters - Win, Place, Exacta, and Duet pools can jackpot - For races with fewer than 8 runners, Duet pays on 1st and 2nd only For a more detailed explanation see below. We hope you enjoy the new adventure!
