I found the 16 points up being paid out as a winner on 365 quite good. Haven’t had a bet on the nrl since the ban. My spend certainly hasn’t increased with the tab since the ban.

I was there today, the ground sold out. I’m not sure what more you want them to do? They put an event on and people turned up. The game on the field was a little bit disappointing due to Thames not firing a shot and it pretty quickly turning into an opposed training run. I’m not having a crack at you but the days of crowds anything like that for a shield or NPC match are long long gone, life gets busy and technology makes it easier to not go to events.

Yeah it is sold out.

Yip, rugby only announced in early March.

Another issue I am running into is options disappearing as the game is about to go live. Yesterday all options were closed a couple of mins before kick off and today a game has completely disappeared before it’s about to start. It’s not showing under next to go or in play either.

I tried to get a live bet on a cricket match today. 4 attempts and one suspension for a single a long the ground and we got there. Hopefully they sort it soon as it’s a massive pain.

I think you just answered your own question.

I’d be interested to know what advice if any was taken from the Commerce commission in relation to the creation of the monopoly.

I joined up to just to see what the story was with it. I think I may have got the odd update but I don’t recall any of the horses racing and I don’t really see the point of it to be honest and don’t think it’s achieving what it set out to.

I personally don't think I will spend any more than I already did with the TAB. In fact I may even spend less as I won't be putting as much time into looking at the odds and working out where I see value. I do a bit of live betting as I can often find value there or even arbitrage opportunities, obviously the latter becomes more difficult with one operator and I do find there website live delays quite frustrating. I would suspect the type of punters they will pick up are the ones betting into your first try scorer and sports multi markets. I have shares in 4 horses at present, I am fairly confident these will be my last four (not because of this decision) as I am loosing a bit of interest in racing and the Entain money will run out in a few years.

Yip and how long do you think those youngsters are going to put up with the shabby platform and numerous delays placing live bets on a fast moving sport before they find a way around the ban.

That’s my frustration I often live bet on basketball, it’s fast paced. With the tab it generally takes at least 3 attempts to get the bet accepted.

Haha, I’ll just give up or maybe jump on an online casino as they haven’t been outlawed yet.

Just been trying to have a few live bets on the cricket with the new monopoly. Odds constantly suspended, slow to get the bet accepted. Resulting the option took longer than other operators too. If this is how things continue I won’t last long with them.

Can't see the government overturing the decision here.

Brodie, you are on the money! This is more egregious than the treatment of restricted punters.

I don't understand how you can say Greyhound racing is bad so lets ban it on animal welfare grounds, but it's ok for animal welfare to be abused off shore.

Could it be related to the covid vaccine?

Restricted punters are unaffected by the poor actions of starters involving standing starts.

Here here a fine starter was Peter Lamb.
