You cant see a running tote. They cut it off with about 2 or 3 min to post. I rely on the tote to make most of my bets which are win or place. So it becomes a suprise. I have only bet larger sums when I get to be at a track running live. The simulcasting is purely and totally for amusement and to watch all the different tracks.

The pik bets for me are entertainment.
