Tote Betting for the Vodacom Durban July opens today (June 29) and not only are huge pools predicted for all bet types, but the July place bet which pays out on the first six finishers is also a most popular wager.
The predicted pool for the Pick 6 will be R12 million. This is almost matched by the predicted July Quartet pool of R11,5 million, which includes a R1 million carry over.
The Place Accumulator has a predicted pool of R3,6 million.
The first Jackpot has a predicted pool of R2,1 million and the second Jackpot, which has a carry over of R125,000, is expected to have a pool of R1,5 million.
The expected Bipot pool is R700,000.
There are quartet carry overs in both the first and 12th races and the predicted pools are R1 million and R1,5 million respectively.
