TOTALISATOR BETTING
FIVE SHILLING TICKETS. POPULARITY AT TAKAPUNA. The five shillings totalisator is maintaining its popularity at Takapuha, which was the first racing club in New Zealand to use it. At the spring meeting in 1930, when it was introduced, it accounted for 25J per cent, of the total investments and since then it has shown only a very small percentage drop. At this year’s spring meeting, which concluded on Monday, the ratio of five shillings tickets to the total turnover was 24 per cent. Totalisator figures for the meeting are as follows:—First day: Five shillings tickets, £5557 ss; ten shillings tickets, £7835; one pound and larger, £7149; total, £20,541 ss. Second day: Five shillings tickets, £3375; ten shillings tickets, £5357 10s; one pound and larger, £6802; total, £15,534 10s. On the first day, last Saturday, the proportion qf five shillings tickets was 27 per cent., and yesterday it fell to 21 per cent.
