I am devasted to hear that the tickets taken for Saturday’s Turffontein meeting were supposed to be refunded and retaken for Tuesday.
Not a single person on Tellytrack, or anywhere else, mentioned that bets must be retaken.
So writes Vivian Mansour in the Sporting Post Mailbag.
I went out one leg in the Jackpot. I am now told that if I had caught that Jackpot that I would have only received a refund! It is the rules. But what ‘small’ punter knows that rule?
Normally I hear that you must retake your bet but this time not a word was mentioned!
Thank God the bet I should have won only paid R22 – but that is not my complaint. The public should have been informed. How many other punters will support me in this rule?
I think the general public should be made aware of this rule each and every time a race meeting is cancelled.
Abandon I can understand – but the meeting was just moved from one day to another!
