The Tote have unbelievably raised the Deductions from the Win Pools by 3% to 16.5%. In my Blog of 28th February 2011 I outlined how all of Racing's problems could be solved if the Tote reduced its deductions for Internet Betting to 5%. As I said at the time it would be a tragedy for Racing if Andy Stewart and his Consortium did not get the concession. This week's hike rather confirms my view at that time.
