February 5, 2013 1 Comment
To wager you must be 18 years or older.You can bet either on the Totes or Totalisators or in the Bookmakers’ ring. The tote is a system run by the racing club. The tote (those ticket sellers behind the small windows you see everywhere) collects bets in various pools (like the win, place, tanala, jackpot, super jackpot, etc), deducts its commission and betting tax, and then distributes the balance amount to all successful tickets in respective pools.
