Two guaranteed Pick 6 pools and an exciting big-race double across two days are the highlights of TAB’s betting line-up for the Gold Cup Festival of Racing at Greyville this weekend.
For the first time the Gold Cup race meeting has been turned into a two-day festival with Saturday’s meeting headlined by the R1-million World Sports Betting Champions Cup and Sunday by the R1.25-million eLAN Gold Cup, South Africa’s premier equine marathon.
To celebrate the occasion TAB is running a special Festival Double and adding R100 000 to the pool, which guarantees a good-value payout.
To win horseplayers must pick the winner of the Champions Cup on Saturday and the Gold Cup on Sunday. There will be consolation payouts for first and second, and second and first, with 15% of the pool set aside for each consolation.
Due to software issues probable payouts displayed will be to 100% of the pool, when in fact only 70% of the pool is for winning the double outright. So deduct 30% from any probable payout displayed to get the true likely dividend.
The Festival Double pool is already open. To play in a TAB use the normal betting form and mark venue oval 10.
There are big Pick 6 carryovers to both meetings – Saturday’s pool should hit R4 million and a R1.75-million carryover to Sunday could generate a pool of R6 million! TAB has guaranteed a R3.5-million Pick 6 pool for Saturday and R5 million on Sunday.
