Some explanation to help you further with the totes.

The firming of the market starts when the horse first comes into single figures. That is $9.00 and in.
If the horse opens up at $2.00 and firms into odds on it still\nqualifies as long as the price doesn't drift over $2.50 on the tote.
The minimum amount in the win pool is to be $1000 to get an accurate market. Once the opening market is taken you will need to update the\nmarket at least every hour leading up to the race.

Note: When you are following the markets in and the price of the horse drifts out one point, the firming of the market must start again.

An example is 7654..56 Firming must start again from $6.00.

Learn the above it\'s very important and will put a real edge on your punting.
