Are Australians being robbed by overseas bookmakers doing business here.
When you back a horse in the UK for a place in a 24 horse field you get at least 5 places.
When you back a horse in Australia with the same bookmaker in a 24 horse field you get 3 places.
Australians should totally boycott these bets with the bookmakers until fairness is applied in this multi Billion dollar industry.
The governing bodies that can do something about this are part of robbing Australians as they do nothing about it.
