I've never been in a casino, never played the pokies but have played the online casino, I was like a magician for a while, I could make money dissappear in no time, that was on 365, I told them I wanted a break, they closed my account permanently, hated at time but not bothered now, occasionally i play a few slots on one sight Betway, if it runs dry then that's it, only a few bucks involved, most of the time it's their money, but I did like their in play platform but it's gone now, hopefully Betway get a licence to operate in NZ. Gambling can be a incedeous habit sometimes, I run hot and cold, have a burst then nothing for a while, when it comes to the races I only bet win and place, I simply can't be bothered studying form, multiple runners etc etc, my attention span ain't what it was. They go on about large punters, but there are probably only a few who bet large amounts, remember the guy who put 300000 plus on the ABs not to win the world cup, then when they played aussie in final a bet of 400000 was placed before natch same guy more than likely so he did win a small amount but also risked losing a heap had aussie won, probably the sort of punter who probably only bothered once in a while, large punters only bet on select events, fun punters take a lot of bets like every eace but smaller, everyone's different, as long as Entain treat everyone fairly that's all that's important. -
I have Sportsbet where if you're betting while a match is In-play , you have to Ring in to the Bookie phone centre. This makes sense , as otherwise people would be going over the top in a short space of time if thinking they are on a winner. Alas Most are on a loser and legislation and limits stop people from 'Losing the House ' while drunk or thinking that large bets are easy or whatever. trying to win fast. they get themselves blocked real quick. One winning scenario was a Pundit had turned his $1500 footy Bet into $3000. so promptly deposited another $2000 and launched into the very next match with a $5000 bet. which won . He collected $7500 . tried to launch a third time but was timed/maxed out and maximum next bet of only $2 was allowed 😂 . the system cap didn't stop him from winning $4000 but prevented him from losing it and much more, when people think they're on a Hot Streak and just don't stop. The double or nothing punters sure to attract a block. -
Brodie has a big gambling problem Chief! They won’t let him on for much. With the $5k minimum fixed win now change of tactics 😂 -

No need for a bail out but a hands up would be nice and well justified to try and future - proof a struggling industry ! Clearly the ATC has a proven track record of running a profitable and successful club in Harness. Up to last 10 years ! Clearly it among the top two tracks in NZ , and is one of only 4 x tracks that operate with lights at night.Its facilities/infrastructure clearly in the top two. In the past it has hosted Australasia's top event many times.....the Interdominions and it regularly still hosts many of NZ's top races. The Infrastructure is overall quite sound ,and the track with recent changes can cope with heavy rain.. People visiting for first time and/or Australians are very impressed. Close to International Airport and close to ample accommodation [for horses and people] and to the CBD. The region currently has several of NZ's best Studs /breeders ,trainers and drivers who are currently reluctant to relocate. The Club houses NZ's busiest TAB and other businesses which bring in revenue. Pokies earn approx $2 mil pa. What it does need is an energetic marketing/promotions team to create more regular attendees and attract younger members cos current ones mostly 60 yrs plus . And investment into horse ownership to help increase horse numbers. And the most POSITIVE figure in their handbag is the overall Equity situation. A 31 July 2024 it was $93 million.....so net assets of $93m , and it compares with $46 mil in 2013 when the Club members agreed to build the apartments so every race would be a minimum of $30k. Obviously in the top two [with NZ Met ] but probably #1. , so the 'wealthiest ' club in NZ.I haven't checked this. Believe it or not ,what Industry would even consider kneecapping its wealthiest club . ? -
I still believe to maximise potential income/profit from sports then they need to upgrade the in play platform, and maybe they will in time, if so the sooner the better, I have no issues with Entain, I just hope they can up their game, they are a large unit, probably NZ is a very small market for them but as it's the only outlet we have in NZ it's important its up to same standard that others have access too.
