Wightman has NEVER hurt me - sticks and stones might bruise me but never name calling or personal abuse from someone I've never met. I have no "hurty feelings" - I do get pissed off with the likes of Wightman who denigrate all and everyone and then run for cover. Good luck to his horse. Geez at least Molloy would front up and have a go. Wightman just hands I his license. -
Look Chief we all know you have this thing about Wightman and you get a mini brain aneurysm every time his named is mentioned , I'm guessing he hurt you somewhere along your comprehensive journey in the sport of kings? If it helps to talk about it on here I'm all ears if you want to open up about how he hurt you and how we can work as a group to help you deal with those hurty feelings. -
Jackpots are defintely a factor that can boost turnover and engage punter participation.I believe your on the right track. The key,in my opinion,is combining jackpots with optimum timeslots and optimum pre race sky tv exposure. reality is ,nz harness struggle to get good timeslots and good pre race sky tv coverage and they always will. Thats why,jackpotting funds should be applied very strategically,when the factors i mention are in play. A very important factor in jackpotting pools,is having an understanding of exactly who and what country are the punters from,who invest. for example,someone at the tab/entain should have the data indicating exactly how much is from nz punters and how much comes from austalian punters. I believe the australian punter component, is a very important component , leading to big pools, in jackpots. Its a basic,that first you have to understand who and where the punters are,who are betting into these pools,as without that understanding you willnever maximise jackpots potential. and its a basic,that you have to understand what time of day is the timelsot that generates highest turnover. Any administrator who claims "high class racing content"is the driving force behind increasing turnover",simply is illustrating just how ignorant they are. Those in charge should be getting advice that enables them to come across as at least having some knowledge of the topics they are making decisions on. not that long ago i started a topic on how to increase turnover through strategic use of jackpotting funds on first 4 pools and when they should occur. Yesterday,on a low key thursday,provided yet another example of proof of what i said. Race 9 at winton. A 7 horse(including 2 first starters), 0-1 win 3 year old race. The first 4 jackpotting pool of $7,000 went to $35,000 and on the same race, the nsw tabcorp first 4 pool went from $800 to $4500. -
