BETTING BY TOTALISATOR
I, FAILURE 11ST NEW SOUTH | WALE:' 4 * - Betting on the totalisator does not appeal to the sporting public in New Soulh Wales, according to Mr F. Earl, K.C., of Auckland, who has returned after a threemonths’ visit to Australia. “The totalisator is a failure in New South Wales,” said Mr Earl, “owing to the fact that they pay a third dividend.” Under the system I2y per cent, of the total investments was taken out of the pool, and of the remainder 60 per cent, was allotted to the first horse, 20 per cent, to the second, and 20 per cent, to thirds He compared this with the New Zealand method under which 75 per cent, went to the ; of the first horse and 25 j per cent, to the second, after 10 J per cent, had been taken out of I the pool and 2\ per cent, divi- ’ dendtaxoff remainder. He said the additional 20 per cent, given to the third horse reduced the dividend on the winning horse to such an extent /that no one who betted seriously placed money on the totalistor. Mr Earl said the totalisator in New South Wales was supported mainly bv women, and he was astounded to note the number of women who were betting in this way. Being used to the totalisator; he used this means for placing his money, but in the queue at the stewards’ stand he found that he was of two or three men who were doing so, while 100 women were in the line. Most of the money still went on with the bookmakers. Regarding bookmakers, Mr Earl said they were very strongly established in New South Wales, and he did not think they would ever be eliminated. In' Victoria there was a bill before Parlia ment providing for the introduction of the totalisator and fixing a term, after which bookmakers wruld not be allowed to operate. The bill was not yet made law, an 1 he did not think it would be possible ever to eliminate bookm kers in that Stale. METROPOLITAN TROTTING CLUB. (.Per Press Association. - ) Christchurch,, Nov 3.
