There is not much time left to use the couplings to try to catch the Pick 6.<\/p>\n

Punters can only use the couplings in this bet until September 8. It is a decision by the tote operators not welcomed by everywhere with open arms.<\/p>\n

It is clear what the objectives of the operator are with the change. They want mega payouts that can compete with the lotto and casinos.<\/p>\n

This also means that overseas totes will be able to commingle into TAB Pick 6 pools to ensure bigger pools in South Africa.<\/p>\n

The Pick 6 is hard enough to win with couplings coming into play. Now without couplings, it will be even more difficult<\/a>. It is hoped that the possible bigger payouts will attract the punters but this will almost surely chase away the smaller punter from this bet. \u2013 The Herald<\/a><\/p>\n
