Back to listsWhether Carried Over Amounts Are Club Revenue?
By Raghavan | 30-Nov-2020Bangalore Turf Club was adding carried over amount/s without fail in the next race day of the same enter. Of course, when jackpot pool is carried over, they were taking their own sweet time to add. I do not think it proper on the part of BTC to postpone indefinitely the c/o jackpot. But, it seems they are guided by a policy that is never made public regarding jp c/o amount.
For eg, there was 5 lakh+ carried over amount of jackpot on 6/3/20. That has not been added so far. Perhaps, they are waiting for normal betting to start (that is racing with spectators and bookies) before decidig on that. O K. The reason looks justified. At least, I can not refute that logic. Though when that normal betting starts and whether they are really going to add that amount is total suspense.
But, what I can not understand is the total silence on the part of BTC to add other c/o amounts.
1. A sum of 63k was c/o in exacta pool (KOL) on 11/3/2020. And there was KOL race on 24/11/2020. That amount has not been added. And tomorrow (1/12/2020) also there is Kolkata race. My bet they will not add that tomorrow either.
2. Treble pool 4695/- was carried over on 8/3/2020 (Chennai). That should have been added when Chennai races were held on 20/11/2019. BTC has mastered the art of playing cat and mouse game. I do not think they will add in next day's Chenna races.
3. There are several pools that remained unsolved during this month. Actually there were 12 racing days during this month (double racing on 29/11/2020) and there is c/o amount in all the days. Of course not in lakhs. Maximum c/o amount is in exacta pool. The carried over amount in that pool adds up to more than 2.5 lakhs in about 30 races. There were c/o amounts in Trinella, forecast, treble & jackpot also during these 12 race days.
BTC was supposed to add that amount during the races at the same center next day. But, it is maintaining deafenig silence on that aspect. Absolute negligenc or irresponsibility.
BTC should understand that it is not doing any extra favour to the punters in adding that c/o amount/s. In fact, the collections in all exotic & multileg pools are very very low and it can attract some higher sales if and when they add the c/o amounts.
But, it seems that the BTC is happily considering that the c/o amount is additional revenue to the club.
