Piss poor from the TAB - no past the post results etc

Trained a runner in race 1 at Whanganui so obviously back. Great to see and hope you are well

Good to se that the "new broom" of George and Sharrock is sorting things out! NOT!

Knowing these guys they'll turn them off so as to not incriminate themselves - as law enforcement has been known to do

The lease may have run out but this was a high turnover TAB until recently. Manager who had run a very successful operation had been there for years had his hours cut - he told me that he regularly worked around 70 hours per week and was paid for 50 - to 40 hours. False efficiency savings. Nearest TAB is now Courtenay Place which is so inaccessible that people who live in Mt Victoria etc travel to Newtown to place their bets. As they have been doing for the last 15 years at least the TAB treats it's remaining loyal customer base (which is fast dwindling) with disdain.

I was being ironic/sarcastic

Yip it's a pity that these country tracks don't appeal to stakeholders!😁

Just opens up another can of worms

Got off light

Lucky to have Messers Sharrock and George in charge eh?

Seems some others have picked up on this as well as me https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/131715353/department-of-internal-affairs-says-22bet-brendon-mccullum-ads-misleading

Those with long memories will remember that Mark Walker received a lenient penalty when found to have broken the rules which resulted in a long running saga of complaints, ministerial inquiries etc etc. But that was then this is now eh? Never happen again

Nope never seen that one. The youtube algorithim obviously picks out something different in my profile from others

Really? Only seen this one

Yip I guess you can but I thought there were limits on overseas operators at least advertising in NZ?

I keep seeing ads promoting 22 Bet open on youtube with Brendan McCullum fronting saying they are legal in NZ. They must be running through the TAB? Are they?

Been the modus operandi for decades - that's why the industry is in such a parlous state

Yip he's basically a trots caller. Takes a bit to adjust to the gallops. He did fine

Yeah caught that myself and he called Dame Margaret Dame Margeruitte - usually have it on mute but I was so impressed by Sharp N Smart that I thought the aftermath might be interesting - alas no - silly me

Seeing the same things you are but now they finally put a scroll on TV saying they are having issues and can only offer racing bets but not sports bets!!! when there is nothing on offer

I agree

That's what I've been told

My sources tell me that it lost the plate before the race Couldn't put it back on as the horse was too fired up BUT they allowed it to race. Dodgy AF
