The issue is that now that Entain have a monopoly, are they going to allow serious punters on, sometimes in Head to Heads one can spend a lot by taking both options inplay as the odds fluctuate to lock in a modest profit regardless of the result ie Betfair or will anyone who shows an abiity to win often be shown the door, serious punters will mostly be Head to Head, just the same in Racing with fixed odds, it's irrelevant if Newmarket or myself are serious punters or not, the issue is some are, when you have choice where you wager your dollars thats ok, when your choices are taken away then Entain have a responsibility to provide a first class betting service, do they or will they, let's just hope they can or do moving forward.

I think their idea of sports betting is someone having a few bets /multis before a game but when it comes to inplay betting they are so far off, now that we have no 365 to inform, their betting options are actually ok but on the inplay page your bets aren't displayed, the cashout option which is probably not great is also not showing and now we don't get notifications when points are scored etc etc, you also have to load games individually, be nice if some betting options were all displayed on one page, many of the betting options are probably not needed.

He probably can , just not sure if restricted to a max of 22.75, is that inviting 😁

Not everyone is a serious punter, Trifectas, First 4s, Quaddies Doubles are all tote, naturally for win and place, top3, 4 you would want fixed but when there is plenty of depth in field totes still well supported, always will be, many don't worry. Harness will get better turnovers when they get better fields, will that ever happen, that's the big question.

I wonder if Bobbies Rock will be trying today, seems to go well when driven by junior and half points penalty wins, then runs a few duds to get rating relief, or am I just imagining that?

Probably find too that the afternoon turnovers will pick up once all the churchgoers have finished their Sunday lunches lol.

I will say for what's it's worth, some of those maiden trots do struggle tote pool wise, would doubt too many big bets on fixed odds either, just a lottery.

There isn't one website that has a effective platform, that informs you during live play, remember sometimes there can be a hundred soccer matches at same time, 10 or more baseball games, Tennis matches etc etc, it's not the end of the world, you just don't wager as much, if at all.

When a match is in play,might be OK if you watching match live on tele, hundreds of games though on platform that ain't, soccer tennis baseball, I ain't staring at a screen all day, as ive said, 365s platform was all there, and sent notifications, maybe in time Entain may update, they've said they want a first class betting site, some of the soccer matches have no time clock, no game animations, the worst ones are the NZ games, next time they are playing one check it out, all im saying is if they want to grow then up their game. As they are the only game in town, ond wonders if they will be allowing the big traders on, Head to heads in Tennis, Cricket Rugby, league etc etc, if they donf want the big traders then why take away choice.

No Betcha account., haven't had a bet for over a month, you know my views regarding live in play betting, if im not getting good info im not bothering, but I'm not off the horses, but just not enthused at the moment.

I got a hundy deposit match offer, expires on 11th, first time for ages, will I or won't i?

Do you believe there will be a sports betting boost, based on what I see I'd be surprised, irrespective of that the money sports organisation's get is very significant, the large punters won't migrate to TAB unless they update the platform, there are also concerns about pokie money slowly drying up with people playing online, awkward times indeed. Many curse gambling but without it many up shit creek.

The Southern surge has got good numbers, surprisingly but the weather has been kind there this Winter that helps.

Brodie I wouldn't worry about things, if the stakes are reduced then the stakes are reduced, it would be a learning curve, Iive within your means, shame they ain't doing that now but it's not sustainable based on the income,(turnover) but at present with small fields and good stakes the few left racing horses are probably doing very well, but nothing last forever. The 2 meetings up North is not sustainable every week, I think they are starting to see that, they survive nicely at the other end of the country with 1 day, I don't even think they want any more days, just make use of the ones they have. Same things happening to some of our sport, the Netballers are slowly dieing off and unless the Rugby union can move Sky on the NPC then many in that will be taking a pay cut too, Moana Pacifica is another example, money's not plentiful for many of us, fact.

Well if it pops up again it does, if it don't I think I will still get through life lol. I never posted anything sinister, I prefer constructive comments, not destructive.

I'm only on Facebook for one or two things, some of the news comments, the racing one I just stumbled on , it does have some rather interesting comments from one poster, Facebook can be a weird place, so much fake stuff.

No can't access said Facebook page, I just get the it's been deleted or restricted as to who can see it, I only posted one comment, strange indeed.

Something odd, computers do funny things sometimes.

I'm only getting a blank page, it was there last night.

Is it just me but the Facebook racing chat page Mr Wightmans always posting in, I can't find, has it been removed ?

Who would have thought 25 years back that full fields for a harness meeting in Southland in the first week of August was for real, racing longer season it's one thing that has been a forward step for some, but remember the weather has been good over Winter, think of the galloping guys who had their first day on Oct 31, last year, they have to be very resilient with all the issues with weather.

Well they have got enough for Friday night in the end.

Since 365 vanished I haven't had a bet on NZ TAB in play, 365 sent notifications when there was a wicket, a goal, a corner, points in Rugby, a run in Baseball, no where now you can get that info up to the second,, Betfair was the place for serious punters, Head to Head, doubt there will be any serious punters on Cricket tonight on TAB , the way the odds shift could lock in a profit and forget about it, Betfair was the place. So in reality they won't grow wagering on Sport.

Yes but the info there you could punt on TAB with it, now the in play info is so far behind, maybe they will update, maybe not, it's the fact we've seen what others sites are like to be able to see how far our mobs set up is.

In play platform is shite now that all the info from bet365 is no longer accessible.
