Following enquiries received by the Sporting Post from punters, we approached Vee Moodley’s Phumelela Gaming team for an explanation of the voiding of Saturday’s Jackpot Quickmix.
Phumelela’s General Manager of Sports Betting, Mervin Gamble confirmed earlier today that a technical error encountered on Saturday’s Jackpot Quickmix betpool had delayed the betpool from closing at the jump of the 2nd leg (the first leg was Turffontein, which was abandoned), thereby compromising the betpool.
In terms of Tab Rule 2.13 the pool was refunded.
For the record, rule 2.13 states:
CLOSING TIMES OF POOLS: Bets must either be accepted by the wagering system of the Operator before the stated closing time or when the wagering system closes for the purposes of accepting bets for the particular pool for which the bet is placed. A bet cannot be accepted after the result of the event is known, if a wagering system of the operator erroneously accepts a bet in this circumstance the bet would be refunded.
