  1. I suspect that is not the TABs fault, more a aussie ruling, so if a Kiwi is on holiday and cant bet on NZ TAB does that seem fair ? So if aussie have closed borders and I suspect they may well have, why is it any different for NZ to do same. Personally I dont support the idea.
  2. Maybe if their heads dont hit the roof at 50 km then try 80 kmhs
  3. One other little thing i have noticed on NZ TAB, the odds on live betting is slightly less than what you get on a overseas site, i suspect thats more to do with the feed they are getting from their supplier.
  4. While lots are critical of the TAB or the website the in play sports setup is actually very good, MLB and the NBA are live, lots of Tennis and Soccer and the reality is they are out to get the maximum amount of betting which is all about one thing , profit which goes back to our sporting bodies. Closing off aussie bookmakers for racing for kiwis, well thats a different issue. completely.
  5. That crossing at Gore is a shocker yet a perfectly smooth all weather track sits idle, those crossings turn the race into a lottery.
  6. Would restricting punters be banned?
  7. Correct, seems odd to me.
  8. Emily Bosson is back next time. I dont watch often.
  9. Ladbrokes Australia, to place a live bet phone in , just looked.
  10. The real issue here with closing borders is Aussie betting sites and racing, yet sites like Betway, 10 bet, bet365 based in Europe really just do sport and casino games etc etc, woudnt make any sense blocking them as they mostly of no great issue ,its the racing guys who are wanting change.
  11. Can you or anybody else explain to me why you have to call the betting agency to place a live Sportsbet in Aussie, that seems weird.
  12. Simply want all the money bet off shore, no more Sportsbet, Ladbrokes etc etc. Benefits obvious , not my words, just the general assumption I suspect lots might pull the pin if it was close border betting
  13. Guerin asked the question, seems by the talk its a real possibility, benefits, fairly obvious.
  14. I see that guy Sharrock last night suggesting closing borders for betting a very real prospect, thoughts on this one.
  15. I note the Gore septic tank cleaning service are sponsoring a race on Thursday. One wonders if they will be donating a 10 litre bucket of shit to the winner.

  16. Are you a fan or just enjoy it ?
  17. Might I add none of us want Putins rhetoric either.
  18. Is Awapuni going to get that dollop of rain coming, ? weather map for the South is nice and clear.
  19. I often have a wee chuckle with Australia deporting criminals, wasn't long ago you had to be one to get in the place😁
  20. Gore on friday, probably be snowing, hang on just checked the forecast, fine and sunny for a week, the south gets a bad wrap about its weather, yet it's the North that gets all the rain.
  21. Actually pretty good, had some doubts, I see Robert Dennis has one nominated is he still training?, Another under the Dennis Bros as well, must be a hard habit to give up.
  22. Maybe if there is a public holiday then today might have been more timely, funeral overnight, a day to remember after, just a thought.
  23. As I said earlier in this thread, it's going to be interesting to see how many nominate for the Gore Gallops, Friday, strange how they don't want harness racing there but one would think the more a venue is used the better I would have thought.
  24. Good numbers for Saturday,(Winton), maybe the bigger tracks are more appealing, not much choice if you are in the north. Interesting Winton get Saturday, yet most days are Thursdays , Fridays, thats another anomaly.
