Fergus' Parents Live In England?

Jackpot was c£42,000 according to Barry last week, with a guesstimate that it would maybe make £57,000

£42,656 from unnamed couple makes £103,000 or so

3 way split was £33,703 indicating a pot of £101,109.

Seems more likely that the other two winners were more selective in their choice of dogs than that the deduction was 35%

[bolt pp]

doing That math Ive worked out that Sheffield have taken at least 35%!!!!!!

101k was the rollover.

What about all the cash the regular punters put into the pool on the night too?

yeah, for the sake of working out what % sheff took i estimated £12-13k?

so how much do we think the tote took then?

 Is there a statutory max of 12%? That suggests a total pool of £114897 and a take of £13788

They can't tax the carried forward pool surely?

Only the new bets.

Ahhhh, in which case the figures look different, but I did find a link to a page that made reference to a statutory maximum of 12%

The couple took the remains of their bankroll home with them, and handled losing well. Clearly not Fergus DNA.

It was a 27% deduction from the tote placepots which seemed to be right if you calculated the result from the pool and the last result before tote made the annoucement.
