The galloping form on the new website is complete shit. I am pretty sure it is a purchased data service with the data filled by a bunch of data operators who know little about racing. A lot of the bookmaker websites in Aussie also use this same purchased service which is a waste of time if you want accurate descriptions. Our racing is going down the gurgler quickly.

From Entain after the big website outage earlier in the year. TAB operators Entain Australia and New Zealand managing director Cameron Rodger said they experienced some significant issues this afternoon when the TAB website and mobile app became unavailable for an extended period. “This significant degradation in our services was caused by an issue within our databases. Our teams worked to restore service as soon as possible and the site was fully operational again by 4pm,” Rodger said. “We are continuing to work well towards our migration of our digital channels to a new platform later this year, which will remove reliance on external providers, and will give us significantly better control over our digital operations. FFS that seems to be working out well for them.

Plus the odds showing are all over the place. No wonder the turnovers on harness are getting shafted.

9am on the day of the races and can't get a bet on at Ashburton. Only half the races showing and can bet on fixed win or place. They have come up with a new way of restricting everyone at the same time. This website is a complete joke.

I thought the deal included retaining staff for 2years as well as a number of other conditions. When the 2 years is up I imagine a big reduction in staff, a massive increase in restrictions of accounts and a number of other measures to increase profits at the expense of punters.

Still paying off their huge corruption fines overseas. Gambling giant Entain will pay HMRC £585m to settle over bribery allegations relating to a Turkish firm that it previously owned. The settlement was approved by the Royal Courts of Justice in a hearing on Tuesday. Entain, which owns Ladbrokes, will also make a charitable donation of £20m and pay towards the costs of the case. Its chairman added that the group had "profoundly changed" since the sale. The payments are part of a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA), that will be made in instalments over the next four years.

Been driving terrible on the telfer runners. Beaten on three or four red hot 1.40 shots the last few months. Looked like the stable money was on the stablemate in the Twista race. There were some dodgy drives all night. David Butcher on Irish Whisper only going 1:58 mile rate and letting the others into the race was not a great drive I thought. Another second or two faster in front and wins easily but let the others back into the race.

Thanks Brodie had a bet on it. Not because of the horses ability or change of stable but because you questioned it. Why didn't you say it couldn't win and then I might have unloaded even more. 😂

Not only poor but it complete shit. They should be ashamed of the data they put up on there. I complained but it is like water off a ducks back to them and they don't care.

The ratings system is not fit for purpose with the number of horses we have available.

I used to lay off in the last leg on the ones I had covered in the Quaddie so at least I made a few quid no matter what happened. I don't think they want punters to do that anymore hence they have taken away the ability to see how much you are going to win. They are in the business of wanting punters to lose as much as they can, not help them turn a profit.

If "MM" means market mover then their website is well and truly rooted.

It amazes me that Entain are relying on customers to tell them what is missing on the website. I noticed a couple of things, rang them up and they were fixed a few hours later. You would think their staff and computer experts would already know or have taken note of all the features on the old site and then just transferred them across. Incompetence or laziness which is it?

I hate the fact when you watch TV it will not go full screen. Makes the shit graphics even smaller. They have thrown the common sense book out the window.

Then he was worse than a shit punter 😂

Must have been a shit punter if he was able to bet that much with Ladbrooks. I got banned after depositing less than $500.00. Also I feel this has been dramatised as it always is in these situations with media. The inference is that he lost $2 million dollars to everyone who reads it but his turnover was 2million and his losses may have been 100K or less I would guess. Another gambling degenerate who has ruined his life

Why don't they run a few more of those betting competitions on the harness? I would think they would generate some decent turnover, but they stopped doing them for some reason.

They look determined to try to fix Alexandra Park and are using the excuse it is because one third of punters live in Auckland. My punting friends in the North Island all bet more on South Island harness and all of them say Auckland fields are shit and always have been. How do they expect to do this. Suddenly import more horses and trainers to Auckland?

Yes they have got the side blinkers on completely for anyone wanting leeway on their betting restrictions.

I predicted the outcome the day it came out. Could have saved 10s of millions of dollars if they had asked me instead of going off on a wild crusade.

That goes something like this. Winning punter: TAB bosses please let me win another 200K a year? TAB bosses:

You would be amazed how many degenerate gamblers will see that and have a bet on the favourite thinking it is like a free throw at the stumps. I know a couple of guys who would have been all over it. Not my cup of tea and I can see your point, but some people love that type of thing

They must be immune to the scathing criticism on social media platforms or they would have fixed it by now. Probably another case of I know best from the higher ups, just like getting rid of free to air.

Yes Ladbrokes are not interested in letting you have any profit at all and just give you a straight out ban after a couple of collects. I am surprised they have any customers at all they are that bad on banning people.

Yes Brodie is pushing shit up hill on this one. Let us know what your lawyer says Brodie!
