Chief Stipe

About what?

Then you'll be back to training on the AWT.

How'd they know he was from NZ?

Amazing how NZ "journalists" find something out of nothing. LOL if the journalist wasn't lazy he'd report that a previous AUSTRAC case had one of about 300+ subjects of investigation turning over more in gambling than is bet on the NZTAB. That's turnover. Meanwhile we are expected to suck a lemon over a report that someone turned over $10m?! 20 years ago Kerry Packer tossed a coin for $50m.

Where is that stated in the Statement of Claim @Kit Walker? The sums mentioned were probably not deposited in NZ. So @Kit Walker what is your point?

ENTAIN are better placed than any other entity that AUSTRAC has taken on. TABNZ would have been nailed. You only have to look at how much AUSTRAC got out of their own bank WESTPAC to understand that ENTAIN are small fry. ENTAIN have been working with AUSTRAC to improve their systems.

Are you having another bad night Forbs?

What other business monopoly or otherwise publishes on a regular basis its margins? Plus they don't have a monopoly on selling the NZ product just a monopoly on selling it to the NZ market. But that said Harness seem to get their turnover figures and publish them so maybe it is a code issue i.e. NZTR and TABNZ. We still have no answere to where @TAB For Ever got his turnover figures from.

What the hell are you on about now?

You chose to "dip out on the coffee".

Post it here.

Commercial sensitivity. Now who is auditing the turnover so that a fair distribution to each code and the national sporting association is done? I thought TABNZ were responsible for that so it begs the question if they have the information why isn't it in the annual report?

Because there are monopolies and there are monopolies.

So you basically have no idea.

Looks like they have given it a good nudge and spent a decent amount of money to do it.

Well Ruakaka does need some renovation - desperately needs rain at the moment as I understand the track grass has browned right off due to irrigation restrictions and the drought. I know at least two major trainers who would set up a winter/early spring satelite stable at Ruakaka if they were guaranteed a meeting every fortnight.

Just did a search on BOAY @TAB For Ever and can only find the recidivist "fuck-wit" user @Joe Bloggs who often used the term. He and his mate @nomates got pissed off and left and since then I can't find use of the term until you just did.

Depends if it is used as a Term of Endearment or not. Where was it posted? I will point out though that your rose tinted honey glazed posts of positividdy do touch the anger nerves of people who have real skin in the game and are chipping coal at the coal face in the dark with their finger nails. You must admit you come across as an entitled individual who has links to the industry propagandists.

I thought you keep posting that things are going swimmingly? Where did you get this information from?

Some interesting bits in this report. Of course a lot less wagering information now that Entain manage that part of the business. TAB NZ Annual Report 2024.pdf

Yes in response to numerous complaints. Shame they didn't follow the lead of the likes of Matamata or Foxton who have been providing food and drinks service on trial days for decades.
