multiple english racing questions

[fouroneone]

#1 - who took over english racing simulcasting?- the graphics look very magna-ish

#2 - why are their pools for win, place, shw, ex, tri, super and swper for EVERY race which always have cash in them, yet not each bet is taken on every race?

#3 - What the hell is a SWPER bet anyway? (no its not super, there is a seperate pool for that.)

#4 - How does change get into the win pool? Looking at the tote the other day on Channel 73 in NYC (otb channel #2) the win pool had $xxxx.11??????


thanks

#1 - not sure

#2 - because the Americans are betting into the South African pools and SA is accepting all types of wagers

#3 - It's called the "swinger" bet. It's like a quinella, but you get paid if your two horses both finish in the top three.

#4 - change gets into the win pool by live parlay wagers, or by international sites commingling into the pools and change results after the conversion to USD.
