A new mobile-phone betting service launched in the SAR last week has made it more convenient for punters to make or burn money at the races.
Cable & Wireless HKT and the Jockey Club jointly launched their 1010 CIT Mobile service which enables HKT's 1010 network subscribers to bet on all horse races as well as the Mark Six.
Users will need a customer input terminal (CIT) from the Jockey Club that will connect to a 1010 handset via mobile cable.
The three components are rented as a set to users for $1,680 per 10-month racing season.
Punters will also have free access to the Apollo Ng racing information service for 150 minutes each month.
HKT already has a 2288 information service that provides real-time information on horse racing results and dividends.
