Have joined Beteasy and backed Trump. Beteasy is now being swallowed up by Sportsbet, so in the coming days Beteasy will be no more. All Beteasy accounts will transfer to Sportsbet. My first bet on Trump was at $2.60, he's now down to $1.95 and falling. Am impressed with their service and ease of navigation.

TAB just months away from collapse before Government bailout
aquaman replied to Chief Stipe's topic in Galloping Chat
Mmmmm, nothing surprising here if my experience with the TAB help desk 0800102106 last week is anything to go by. Had the misfortune last week to have a scheduled power cut 2 days running, so had no computer to be able to have a bet, so rang the help desk in the morning to get the Jetbet code for the meeting I was interested in having bets at. As I live in a rural area it just wasn't practical to travel the 50kms to my closest TAB agency to manually place bets. So after explaining my situation I asked for the Jetbet No for the Addington dogs. Answer to keep it short, no we are not allowed to give out that information. I explained my position again and asked if you the TAB cannot give me such simple basic information as the Jetcode for the meeting that I was wanting to bet on, then please advise me where I could get it. The advise was to ring a TAB Agency and ask them. Now I'm sure TAB Agency's have better things to do than answer phone calls wanting to know Jetbet codes. The TAB in their wisdom have stopped giving the meeting when placing bets via touch phone which I was reduced to using on this occasion, which meant without the meeting No it was impossible to know where you were betting. After 10 minutes of arguing the operator finally caved in and gave it to me on the understanding this was only going to happen once. F#cken amazing, no wonder they are going broke. -
After reading this thread I have come to the conclusion jelly fish have more spine than the above poster. For goodness sake man, grow some balls.

Thanks for that Newmarket, joined Beteasy this morning and put 1st bet on US election. Will try racing bets next. Still trying to work out all the bonus bets, not sure how it all works, but have 7 days from opening account to solve them.

Rang Tui at the TAB help desk this morning on how to place a bet on the US election. No help there, Tui says no betting available on NZ TAB. So after informing Tui that this phone call is being recorded for evidential and references purposes, I went on to ask if she could advise an overseas bookmaker or betting site that I could access for the purpose of having a bet on the election result. Once again no help there as not allowed to make recommendations on any organization that may assist. In fact most unhelpful. So my request to Bit of a Yarner's is, can I join an Australian betting organization, fund it through internet banking, and have a bet on the election?. Grateful for any advise. Cheers.

I think you should go and record it, and then post it on here so all those outside of Auckland can be privy to the proceedings. Sounds like it will be great entertainment. Would go for sure if I lived handy. Go on pretty please.

The Victorian hospital system is underwhelmed. They have many spare beds. They will need to get to 1500 cases a day before hospitals are put under pressure. At the moment they are only getting 400 a day. So a full lockdown is not needed as yet.

Clearly the fault lays with the Racing Idiot Unit. Failed to do their job when allowing meeting to go ahead without second lure driver as required under the rules. They have a bad habit of subverting rules to suit themselves. Before a meeting goes ahead, they the RIU are required to check all boxes are ticked as per the rules re safety of track, and proper people are in place to conduct a race meeting. They have clearly failed on this occasion. If Mark is to be dragged over the coals, then I would expect the RIU and Club to be dished out the same treatment.

Agree, crap bet, they win you lose. They shave the odds to make it impossible to win from this bet. Wouldn't go near it with a barge pole. Even on the money back bets they shave 50 cents of the odds compared to Aussie prices. I always compare them by checking odds on Supatab Australia and find the odds always less by about 50 cents.

I will say it now, how long has Jeffery Epsteins girlfriend got on this earth, how much will silence cost. Her knowledge of events and people say it all. Ghislaine Maxwell today has been transferred to a NYC prison ahead of Court date. I think if I was in her shoes, I would be flat out making a deal.

I too listen to sky sport radio NSW. Far superior to anything NZ ever produced. They have Liz Whelhan doing the dogs, Mick Gurien not sure spelling doing harness. Endless interviews with trainers and jocks. Have it tuned in on my android.

Good luck to them, they will need it.

Racing Greyhounds have to be registered as pets. The RIU enforce it. The stupid NZGRA missed the opportunity to combine with Federated Farmers when getting a dispensation from Government when micro chipping became mandatory. I implored the CEO at that time, Bickford from memory to join the Farmers in protest action to get exemption the same as farm dogs. Fell on deaf ears.

The ODT is the only independently owned major newspaper left in NZ. It is a fantastic read, and well worth sourcing it from outlets Nth of Otago. Some service stations sell it in CH CH.

Please no, tell me its not true, not Mark the talk talk talk talk talk Cookson. Ah well suppose thats what the mute buttons for.

Good on Pete for giving his dogs a stir up with the Cambridge resident rooster. Would of done exactly the same myself. No harm to the rooster. Just harm to the touchy feelie idiots that feed on crap. Get a life morons.

Further to the above, you may as well have virtual racing, and cut out the horses altogether.

All weather tracks are boring, and only suit compulsive gamblers.

Punters are the beginning and the end as far as racing goes, and punters do not like all weather tracks. They can of course run for ribbons.

Thornley: we should be at Level 1 by now
aquaman replied to Wandering Eyes's topic in Covid-19 and Racing
Never mind 1, the whole lot should be chucked out, its a fooken hoax. -
You lot are welcome to him, and as Clarkie suggests, take the other bludger Hughes while you are at it. New nothing about dogs, let alone wagering, but sure was an expert at keeping a chair warm.

So sad to hear of Mikes passing, trainer of the great Spadeworthy and many other good dogs. Your wisdom and humility will be surely missed. R.I.P John Goode.

Never mind, John Allen says more bet types will fix everything.

I see M Dore as the only positive in the ranks of the NZGRA. He is not in the same boat as Hughes whom would be much better utilised in the womens refuge.
