Betting is not like other things. Its hard to get along not buying food or petrol for your car but you don’t have to bet on sport or racing to get along unless you’ve got a problem. The punters betting with overseas operators were doing it because they didn’t want to take rubbish odds from TAB/Entain. I would always happily bet with the TAB if the odds were the same and they were prepared to take the bet at odds shown for the amount I wanted. They weren’t very often but if they were I was always happy to bet with them. Withdrawals from offshore operators can be a pain. Now I just won’t bet at all. No POC tax from me. Racing needs as many punters as it can get not as much as it can get from a small group of punters with a problem. Long term what they’ve done will be detrimental to the game.

Next time just use the speed maps at Racing and Sports site to identify the leaders and back those, You would have more than doubled your money collecting in races 2,5 and 7. I didn't win anything as I don't bet now its a monopoly.

Same and don't intend to start. Their odds are just rubbish.

RTP around 90%.

That's 42% of the proceeds from the machines not 42% of what's put in them.

In terms of percentage that's only true for Lotto.

Don't see the point in playing the scripted interview with Nick Roberts and the ads they're running. Punters already know they've been shafted. Why keep rubbing their noses in it.

Open accounts in friends and family members names and use those. Just get a cheap phone and don't use wifi. Walk down to the TAB and put bets on with cash.

As if this bunch of old fogeys will be able to come up with anything to increase TAB turnover. They're lives are so far removed from normal punters. They'd have no understanding of how to get new punters or how to get punters to punt more. Hope they're paying their travel, food and accommodation costs out of their own pockets.

Hayley is going alright. 3 winners in next 10 rides after Bella Mio. Ex Aye $8.10, Sense Of Timing $7.50, Ata Rangi $11.60. Meanwhile in his last 17 rides Jmac has only managed to get 1 win with Voyage Bubble $1.80.

Cant you just go down to TAB and put your bets on at the terminal?

2k is the minimum they have to let you on to win not the limit. If you are happy to take way under the likely SP you can get on for lots more.

They might not speak good English but they're not silly. Bookies offer 130% market and they think why would I give this guy 1 dollar to get 76 cents back.

Wouldn't know anything about what he was looking at.

Great place if you're a non punting freehold boomer or a dairy farmer.
