\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 u\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 st be noted in order to gain a proper understanding of the issues facing the bookmaking industry.
\par \hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 Over several decades, the issue of the extent to which the horseracing industry is funded, and who should bear the financial responsibility for its ongoing ad\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39
ministration, has been the subject of ongoing controversy and debate. In order to lay this debate to rest, it is necessary to provide a brief, factual answer to the question as to exactly how horseracing is financed.
\par \hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 The answer is simple and clear. Horsera\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 cing is \fcs1 \af39\afs24 \fcs0 \fs24\ul\insrsid5256296\charrsid12214143 \hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 directly funded by its\fcs1 \af39\afs24 \fcs0

, and not by the holder of any totalisator licence. Every rand which is wagered by patrons on totalisator bets is placed into a pool, depending upon the type of bet taken. There is a separate totalisator pool f\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 \hich\f39
or each distinct bet type (e.g. \'93\loch\f39 \hich\f39 win\'94\loch\f39 \hich\f39 , \'93\loch\f39 \hich\f39 place\'94\loch\f39 \hich\f39 , \'93\loch\f39 \hich\f39 swinger\'94\loch\f39 \hich\f39 , \'93\loch\f39 \hich\f39 trifecta\'94\loch\f39 \hich\f39
and \'93\loch\f39 \hich\f39 jackpot\'94\loch\f39 \hich\f39 , amongst others). For the purposes of example, all bets placed by patrons on any horse competing in a race to win that race outright, will be allocated to the \'93\loch\f39 \hich\f39 win\'94
\loch\f39 pool b\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 y\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 \hich\f39 the totalisator operator. Once the race has been run and the result has become known, the amount in the \'93\loch\f39 \hich\f39 win\'94\loch\f39
pool is divided proportionately between the patrons who correctly selected the winning horse. However, \fcs1 \af39\afs24 \fcs0 \fs24\ul\insrsid5256296\charrsid12214143 \hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 before this occurs, the totalisator operat

, which may in certain cases be less than, but may not be more than, 25%. This deduction is referred to as a \'93\loch\f39 \hich\f39 take-out\'94\loch\f39 . The take-out is effected in respect of each and every bet ty\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39
pe or pool on which betting is offered, on each and every race. The totalisator operator uses the take-out to fund the administrative costs of running, or staging the event of, horseracing, including stakes on races and the payment of all applicable taxes
\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 \hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 (including provincial betting taxes and VAT).
\par \hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 Accordingly, it is clear that the totalisator operator does not itself either wholly or substantially fund the sport of horseracing, or even the tax obligations of the totalisator, but that this funding comes d
\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 irectly from betting patrons. In addition, it should be noted that the take-out realised by the totalisator operator applies to \fcs1 \af39\afs24 \fcs0 \fs24\ul\insrsid5256296\charrsid15226888 \hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39
the total or gross pool amassed by all patrons betting into that pool\fcs1 \af39\afs24 \fcs0 \fs24\insrsid5256296 \hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 , irrespective of whether these bets are ultimately winning\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 \hich\f39
or losing bets. Therefore all totalisator betting patrons contribute towards the funding of horseracing, whether they win or lose. Only after the take-out has been performed, will the holders of winning tickets share in what remains of the pool (\'93
\loch\f39 the net\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 \hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 \hich\f39 pool\'94\loch\f39 \hich\f39 ). To simplify by way of example: if, when a particular race is closed for betting, the total amount in the \'93\loch\f39 \hich\f39 win\'94
\loch\f39 pool (contributed by 100 betting patrons, each wagering R1,00 on different horses to win that race) is R100, and, after the race has bee\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 n\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39
run, it transpires that only three patrons have correctly selected Horse X to win the race, the totalisator operator will deduct (the take-out of) R25,00 from the total or gross pool, leaving a net pool (available for distribution) of R75,00. As there ar
\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 e\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39
three winning tickets only, the net pool of R75,00 will be divided between the three winning ticket holders, with each receiving R25,00 by way of winnings (referred to as a dividend). The take-out of R25,00, provided by winning and losing patrons alike,

ill be used by the totalisator operator to fund the administration of the sport of racing, as well as being applied to the payment of all taxes due. Taking into account that there are numerous different individual betting types, or pools, in respect of ea
\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 c\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 \hich\f39
h race, that there are multiple races per race meeting, and that the amounts wagered by patrons in respect of each pool will be appreciably in excess of the R100 used in the example above, it will be recognised that the individual amounts \'93\loch\f39
\hich\f39 taken out\'94\loch\f39 in r\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 e\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 spect of each pool collectively constitute a substantial amount \fcs1 \af39\afs24 \fcs0 \fs24\ul\insrsid5256296\charrsid11296819

\par \hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 To summarise, therefore, from the perspective of the totalisator, the sport of horseracing is dire\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39
ctly funded (in part, as will be shown below) by both winning and losing totalisator betting patrons, to the extent of (a maximum of) 25% of all amounts wagered on the totalisator.
\par \hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 Unlike the totalisator, a licensed bookmaker, on the other hand, does not e\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39
ngage in pool betting, and are not proportionately divided between the holders of winning tickets. Each bet laid by a bookmaker stands in its own right as a separate potential liability on the part of the bookmaker, without reference to ot
\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 h\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39
er bets laid by that bookmaker. The business of a bookmaker laying bets on horseracing is therefore focused on balancing its book, by making sure that it has taken an even spread of betting on horses in a race and potentially locking in a small margin of
\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 p\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 rofit, as will be explained in greater detail below.
\par \hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 Once the race has been run and the result has become known, the bookmaker must pay the holders of winning tickets the amounts due to them, with reference to the odds at which the bet was struck. In respe

, the bookmaker is required to retain 6% of the amount won by the patron, of which half (or 3%) is paid over to the relevant provincial fiscus and the remaining half (or 3%) is ultimately paid over to the\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39
totalisator operator as an additional contribution to the funding of the sport of horseracing. The additional 3% which, by operation of law, finds its way to the totalisator operator is therefore money which also emanates from the betting public, but mor

regarding its licensed operations. Put differently, it cannot make a loss on any betting transactions to which it is a party. This is a fu\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39

totalisator) bets in respect of which either fixed odds are agreed to at the time that the bet is laid, or in respect of which the odds are not fixed, or the odds are determined, after the conclusion of the event, with reference to dividends declared by t
\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 h\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 e totalisator.
\par \hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39
For the sake of completeness, it is recorded that there has been significant opposition to the open bet from the totalisator over several decades. The argument of the totalisator in this regard has been that bookmakers do not contribute to t
\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39
he administration or funding of the sport of horseracing, which is the sole responsibility of the totalisator operator, but rather feed off the horseracing industry, inasmuch as they are able to use the intellectual property of the totalisator, in the for
\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 m\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39
of totalisator dividends, as a basis for the calculation of odds to be offered to bookmaking patrons. It is argued by the totalisator that this undermines the viability of racing, because patrons who would otherwise have placed bets on the totalisator in
\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 s\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 tead place these bets with bookmakers, on the expectation of being paid the same dividend as that declared by the totalisator.
\par \hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 This is not the case, however. As has bee\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39
n demonstrated in Section B above, the totalisator operator does not itself fund the administration of the horseracing industry. As has been shown, the administration of the industry is funded primarily by the betting public, in the form of the (maximum)
\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 t\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39
ake-out of 25% of betting turnover realised by the totalisator operator on all totalisator bets struck, and by way of the 3% tax on winning bets taken with bookmakers. In effect, therefore, the funding of the sport of horseracing, whether in respect of be
\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 t\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39
ting on the totalisator or through bookmakers, comes from precisely the same source, namely the betting public. Accordingly, there is no factual basis for the contention that the bookmaking industry makes its living off the back of a sport which is financ
\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 e\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 d by the totalisator.

\par \hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 Although the question of the open bet has therefore conclusively\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39 been disposed of, the attack on this bet type has continued unabated and is anticipated to \*\bkmkstart _GoBack

truck with patrons. In this way, the amounts which the totalisator alleges would have been wagered with it, but have been lost as a result of the open bet, ultimately find their way back into the relevant totalisator pools. In addition, the totalisator de

Betting on horseracing (and the horseracing industry as a whole) is likely to implode if the proposed withholding tax is introduced. The sport of horseracing, which employs thousands of people\hich\af39\dbch\af39\loch\f39
in various capacities, has shown a gradual decline over the past years, with a corresponding reduction in profits. As job creation is at the very forefront of the government agenda, the sacrifice of these employment opportunities would be entirely at odd
