And what have you done for any dogs life?

Ok. I'm ok with the Jameson but the last time I nailed Guinness was when they had Toss the Boss at Rumpoles Bar at the Park Royal in Victoria Square, Christchurch. 9 free pints was a bit much.

Ok then over your Guinness what did you decide was the best way to get sufficient return from wagering to fund NZ Racing at the level you desire?

Turnover doesn't equal revenue unless these punters are betting on the Tote. So how do you explain that turnover hasn't moved downwards equivalent to the punters you talk to reduction in punting? Not that I would actually believe what a punter tells me they turnover!

On what basis do you make that statement? Anectdotal feedback over rums at the Racecourse Hotel?

That's a false statement. How do you arrive at that?

Why is banning AI 'bourgeois'? To save people looking up the meaning: refers to the middle class, typically characterized by conventional, materialistic values, and a focus on property or wealth ownership. Often used critically, it implies being suburban, unimaginative, or conformist. In Marxist theory, the bourgeoisie are the capitalists who own the means of production and exploit the working class.

But was the best Fixed Odds? On Betfair you were only ever going to get what someone was going to match you for. As for sticking up for ENTAIN from my observation they are no worse or better than any corporate bookie. They are also doing far far better than the last lot. But the far bigger issue is no one has come up with a way of funding NZ Racing from wagering. Surely you are not like @curious who wants the best of all worlds without paying for it.

I didn't realise you were @Shab as well. So essentially a low margin operator in a very low liquidity market. So how much did Crown Resorts make out of that exchange?

Do you mean the Tote or Betfair?

Well there are lazy ways most often taken by the intellectually challenged. Is someone elses opinon repeated your opinion or theirs? Who's in whose head? The person who feels they need to comment on an opinion from another site because they have an inferiority complex and need to put people or stables down?https://bitofayarn.com Or the person who is asked for an opinion - gives one and then justifies it with the analysis they used to derive that opinion. The lazy one is so motivated to prove someone wrong that they feel they need to "ring a couple of valuers" to get an opinon. Nameless valuers at that. For a horse that the lazy one has no interest in and is adamant it is "only average and not up to Group level in OZ". I can think of over $2m+ reasons why I wouldn't mind a share in it and that's not counting its residual value!https://bitofayarn.com @Comic Dog

Just for the @Comic Dog - NOTE - I didn't say $2m - I said around $1.5m. BTW that was my opinion i.e. I didn't "ring a couple of valuers" as you did to form your opinion.

What's the alternative?

His Great Grand-dam was a NZ bred mare by Lordship.

Are you losing your mind @curious ? I didn't start this Topic on BOAY. @Murray Fish did. Why don't you correcr that statement you have made elsewhere?

No more than I am in theirs Ned Kelly!!! @nomates @Joe Bloggs @Comic Dog

More polite to phone ahead. Easier to do that now with modern technology. Understandably. If you don't do that today then you are open to all sorts of issues. That is the society we live in now unfortunately. To be honest I'm surprised there isn't even more security. Many seem to rely on anonymity and being unseen in plain sight.

I gather with your winnings you will buy a horse to be trained here and/or sponsor some races with stake money? Buy a slot or two.

Most of it isn't worth commenting on. They are just stuck in a negative narrative and a nostalgia trip. Most of it comes from envy.

Back by popular demand from NZ's newest Thoroughbred Training Partnership - Wallace ( @Joe Bloggs ), Scott ( @nomates ) and Mackenzie ( @Comic Dog ). The future of New Zealand racing is in great hands!

Keep them away from all the grumpy old men and women who just talk about how good it used to be 40 years ago!

Start saving those coins and get to the next R2R sale.
