       Have just paid a visit to the new betting site

 which Ebet set up for playboy.  As we know eBet are

to recieve 3% of turnover at this site.

        I checked out some of the races which were about

 take place and was suprised at how high the win pools were,

when considering the site is new

https://racingusa.playboy.com/

 

         The average pool seemed to be over 10000 dollars,

and with around  15 meetings a day with around 10 races each

means a staggering  1.5 million a day being wagered

     If eBet recieve 3% then they are making about 45000 dollars

a day from this site !!

             Sounds too good to be true,  maybe i have got it wrong

and the betting pools consist of bets made from other sources than just

through the website. 

    eBet also set up the TAB site in NZ

http://www.tab.co.nz/  Which incidentally looks very similar,

this site too shows the pools, yet we know that much of this money

is placed on course, or by telephone.   I will endevevour to find

out the situation at the playboy site, to find out what percentage of the

pools is actually being placed at the site.
