Punters who back a winner with Sportingbet will receive a 5% boost to their winnings starting tomorrow.

 

Australia’s leading racing bookmaker will replace its existing MaxiDiv with an exciting new racing product called Best Tote Plus.

 

In a big win for punters, Sportingbet’s Best Tote Plus will pay the best dividend of all three Australian TABs, plus an additional 5% boost to winnings.

 

“We’ve taken Best Tote to a whole new level,” Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said.

 

“This product makes it easy for our punters, who will get 5% on top of the best tote on every race, every day,” Sullivan said.

 

“It’s a product that rewards our punters for backing a winner,” Sullivan said.

 

Best Tote Plus is only available from Sportingbet and will operate on all Australian thoroughbred meetings commencing on Tuesday August 27.

After blitzing her heat tonight, online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has declared the women’s 100m hurdles at the London Olympics is over and has paid out all bets on Aussie Sally Pearson winning the Gold.

To date, Pearson has attracted 88 percent of all bets wagered on the race.

“That was like a training exercise. We truly believe she’ll blitz the final and we’d be paying on her tomorrow anyway, so punters may as well enjoy their winnings a day early,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

As with all sportsbet.com.au early payouts, the market remains open, meaning punters who have been paid out can take their cash or can reinvest if they wish.

Sportsbet.com.au has a reputation for paying out early on major events, and usually is on the money with their predictions including the Liberal National Party winning the 2012 Queensland State Election, So You Think to win the 2010 Cox Plate and England to win the 2010/11 Ashes Series. However, this was not the case last year when they paid out on Chris Judd to win the Brownlow Medal with four rounds to go in the season, or in the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race when they paid out on Wild Oats XI for line honours four days before the race.

The payout applies to all single wagers placed on Sally Pearson before 7:33pm AEDT on Monday 6 August, 2012.

Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has refunded punters who backed Australian boxer Jay Opetaia their bets, after the 17-year-old star was controversially judged to have lost his Olympic games bout against world number two Teymur Mammadov.

Five judges ruled that Otepaia lost 12-11, despite experts suggesting the young star had pulled off a massive upset.

“In our opinion, the decision was wrong and the young Aussie boxer and his coach have every right to be furious,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

“The least we can do is refund punters who backed Opetaia their bets. It doesn’t change the result, but in our eyes, it’s the right thing to do.”
