Placepot info

[Phil007]

Hi, new here so I'm not entirely sure on where to post this but hope I have it right.

I had the placepot at Bellewstown up tonight, and just I'm curious as to how the dividend is as low as it. According to the scoop6 tote info page, the total pool was £14,342 and there were 316.2 winning units, showing a £20.70 dividend to the pound. However, with the 30% deduction from the pool, this would mean the pot was £10,039.4. So, with the number of winning units being 316.2 shouldn't the placepot pay £31.75?

Using the dividend declared and the amount of winning units, the money used only totals £6,545.34?

I mean I'm happy winning £100 and all, I'm just curious to see what I'm missing here. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I'll let the racing guys help with that, perhaps @BillyHills?
