    • Over 55.99 seconds $1.80, Under 55.99 seconds $2.05. Max bet $50. $50 FFS. How pathetic. I guess it's no return if it's 55.99 on the knocker. No point asking them. I tried their live chat a few times and they just close it on you then ask you how likely you will recommend them to a friend. Rung them once and I couldn't believe how rude the guy was. Hopefully they're not as awful to their losing customers. Thanks for the world class betting experience Winston.
    • Thanks for posting that. I got some bonus money thanks to that fantastic drive on the favourite at Alexandra Park tonight and there's a good chance I would have let it expire if I hadn't read your post.  Entain really are the pits.
    • that race just run at auckland.Race 7. a 6 horse field.So a poor betting race because of field size. That was reflected in the win,place,quinella and trifecta pools. All pools were lower than you got on any of the previous 6 races run. but what did race 7  have. It had a jackpotting first 4. race 6 had a carry forward jackpot of $3688.That first 4 was not struck which resulted in a pool 4x the norm for the night in race 6,eventually being $18,292. Well that first 4 was not struck and the $18,292 was carried forward into race 7. So what did the first 4 on race 7 end up as $80,155. Thats on a race with only 6 runners. The first 4 pool for that 1 race was about the same as the other 15 harness first 4's on races run in nz combined today. imagine if race 7 at auckland had  8 to 10 runners. How much would it have got to then? winton today had a $2600 first 4 jackpot carry forward turn into over $18,000. both the jackpot races i refer to had timeslots in what i call the ideal timeslot window to capture australian punter participation.Its that australian market that is your target audience to maximise what is invested on jackpotting first 4's(and jackpotting trifectas). Its over a year since i posted my original topic. if harness racing worked with entain to implement changes to enable them to do as i suggested, i calculate its reasonable to expect they could easily generate an extra 5-10 million in turnover in first 4's alone annually. That would mean they could recieve from the takeouts,an extra 1.2-2 million in revenue. as i have said ,they could also do the same with a targeted trfecta jackpot race in the right timeslot each week. Then if they did what i said as far as directing the starters to make sure they eek an extra 30-seconds to 1 minute after they have been given the all clear,before they turn them in,(i have suggested how they should do that previously to ensure they don't lose any trackside coverage -in effect getting more).  so if they did that as well,they could increase all their normal  pools easily by between 5-10% on every race. i'm not talking rocket science,its so simple to, just do as i suggest. Then you would get several million more in revenue for the industry from turnover.  
    • Blind eyes to what exactly?  Counting whip strikes?  These people have only one objective and that is to end racing.  Why are you promoting racing instead of feeding them?  If you can't write anything justifying racing horses then take up a different sport.  Lawn bowls for example.
