another strong reason to drop in collection is most punters now betting online. before no one aware of that. but now they can do it easily with mobilephones.they get full payouts without any taxes,

Bookies celebrate the announcement with high fives, they write their own betting on that horse and submitt for the percentage decrease.

In hyderabad a horse for win amount 1000+ and in place 100+ in tote withdraws, still we have a 12% deduction. Dont know which idiot has so much money to play place at bookies for that particular horse.

Mr ABBAS J,

If you want to learn and know more about horse racing, pl meet some senior punters  .From your write-up, you seem to be a novice in this field. Racing is not for people with half knowledge, they will only loose what they have.Just ask the bookies how much money they save in each race by way of withdrawals. This will give you some idea of the nexus between the bookies and clubs.

Withdrawals in 90 % of cases is a very big scam, remember this.

Hello All, 

PG you don't know basis knowledge of racing, If horse got withdrawals is not any profit to Club. It's loss to Club and Punter's get refunded on withdrawals horses. In your home/house while eating food is the same price you spending on buying Rice, Wheat, oil, vegatables groceries ete Prices gone up and you and your family spending money on every aspect of life. As per Bookies you should know, Bookies are cheating taxes and club revenues, It's now you look out. Income tax dept look out, That's why Income tax dept trying hard to catch bad and corrupt bookies. My advice to you stop playing horse racing or gambling. No one win anything except every few punter's and even owner's, Jockeys and Trainers lost their money all the time. 

Still you want to play just play 5 rupees and 10 rupees only just for fun and enjoying.

Good Luck All

Mr Reddy has not mentioned why the club allowed the caterer's to increase the price of all eatables. Why did he do so ? Increase in prices was not essential and not justified. Why are the club members getting all these at highly subsidised rates. Prices now are very near the prices at hotels and restaurants. Punters demand the club subsidise much more all eatable items at the club without any delay and excuses. Food items are not ment for the members only  to enjoy at very low prices.

Mr Reddy should explain as to why many chairs are being frequently taken away from the 1st enclosure. Extra chairs were brought because punters demanded for them last year.Even now, punters and senior citizens get no chairs to sit for almost 5 hours.

Why are private agencies allowed to run the fixed odds tote ?Let it be run as is the case in RWITC.

Mr Reddy should also explain why the entrance fees have lately been increased by 50% or more. 

Last but not the least, punters want to know where all the money is going after huge collections from the bookies and races and deductions on withdrawals virtually on a daily basis.?????

More T V sets are required and the sound system is the worst among all the clubs in India. Nothing is being done in this regard since few years inspite of complaints being lodged.

Hope the chairman looks into these issues also.
