I am not sure of the maths behind it but they might have taken this into account and figured they would be unlucky to chop it 3 ways or more, so were just taking a very +ev spot in reality.

yeah this is what i thought, bit ul really.

what is really sick is that the other two winners did full perms also Roll Eyes

I wonder if you became aware of someone else planning on having the full perm also beforehand and got in touch with them, how would you go about dissuading them from the bet, clearly both wouldnt do it once they were aware, maybe have a sort of reverse bidding war to see who'll take an upfront cash sum not to do it?

Dubai did this at Romford a couple of months back, his crew were the only winners though.

Is this true?

If three syndicates did a full perm and they all lost money.. just what % of the stakes did the track keep?

lol no, was just thinking how sick it would be, it did interest me to think how the haggling would go if two parties that intended to do it met beforehand.

It's a fair cop you got me.

Still interested what percentage the track takes out from these rollover jackpot thingys.

Isn't it just the normal deduction that the nanny takes, 23/24% ?

Ive known them to take us much as 30%

i'm trying to work this out because i dont get it, how much has the nanny taken, does the 101k jackpot include the 47k invested if not it'd diabolicale what theyve taken out?

101k was the rollover.

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