There are a few certainties in this world. Death, taxes, and according to online bookmaker sportsbet, Black Caviar making it 25 straight and winning the TJ Smith Stakes tomorrow.
So confident is the bookmaker that the mighty mare will be crossing the finishing line in front at Randwick this Saturday, sportsbet.com.au have decided to pay out early on the champion!
All bets placed on ‘Nelly’ before 10am today will be paid as winners before she even gets out of the gate.
In even better news for punters, not only will punters be able to enjoy the race knowing their winnings are safe, but those winnings will also be doubled thanks to sportsbet.com.au’s offer of offering double the odds on Black Caviar.
Paying $1.12 with Top Tote Plus at the time of the payout, $100 on the mare would have netted punters $112, but with the winnings doubled, punters would now receive $124.
“Black Caviar has been the safest bet in racing for ages, so we are more than comfortable paying out early given we are certain that we would have been doing it anyway on Saturday afternoon. And if the payout wasn’t enough, the fact we are paying out double the odds makes her $1.24. I think we all know it’s unlikely she will ever be at that price again!” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.
