Brodie

Would hardly think they would be more restricted than Brodie. Great that they won last night from betting big on the greyhounds, but they are coming to an end next year. No problem with them making money for punters that want to give them money, but TAB needs to treat all punters equally, but then we know that they dont.

Did they triple their money tonight? About time, I watched some of it but they were betting mainly on the dishlickers going on about Same Race Multis etc. etc! They are not good punters, but then again the TAB knkw that. The hypocrisy that the TAB dishes out in NZ is just repugnant! They go on about betting responsibly and yet the Out The Gate do nothing like that! These fellahs are allowed to bet whatever they like with the NZ TAB and they get every bet on, easy as! AND yet other punters are restricted to buggerall after being loyal to the TAB for decades. If it is good enough for these blokes on Thursday night to be able to offload several thousand on a bet, HOW ON EARTH IS IT OK FOR THE TAB TO STOP OTHER PUNTERS FROM PUTTING ON $100????????

Think Rangiora needs to water the track today? Dust everywhere!

Most races arent very good for punting on Friday nights, and yet the TAB still restrict some punters wagering?? Go figure!

Galah, wash your mouth out! Why would anyone want to be gambling on gallops? I have looked at all the harness fields this week, and can not see a single horse that is worth offloading on! Just no value and when you have 5 horses in many races paying less than $2 for top 3, then you are wasting your time. Just a poor state of affairs at the moment with where harness racing is and unfortunately I do not believe the ones making the decisions really understand ?

Sad news then. From all things I have been reading a very top bloke. Puts things into perspective Chief! A lot of bad health for so many unfortunately since you know what!

I note that Luke MacCarthy got suspended and fined $3,300 for using his whip with more than a flicking action on Kingsman in TuesdaysCup! The Ozzies are allowed to use the whip more and heavier in Ozzie than what our drivers here are! Kerryn Manning got done a few years ago on Arden Rooney when it also won! Luke wont worry about the fine too much but the suspension will piss him off abit you would think? The whip rule here is stupid and the soft cocks that brought it in need to change it back to what it was and worked decades ago! Colin de fillippi is not a big fan of it either!

Na I havent been in Punters Comps for many years! not a fan of the format having to wager on every race, not an ideal way of making money! I only had one bet Cup week and it wasnt at Addington! I am probably an unorthadox punter but it guarantees that I am always going to be a punter that wins consistently!

Brodie did make the statement earlier in the year that he thought that Got The Chocolates had been going bigger races than Market Place. Taking nothing away from Market Place either, but I believe that Ferguson should be driving Market Place with a sit!

The issue is the way the TAB treats punters differently. The heavy restrictions stops me from making more!

Na I wouldnt do very well at all on these Punters Competitions! Just not the way I invest, doesnt suit me at all! Personally dont like the evenness of the fields at Addington Cup Week to make it worth the effort. To make money on harness racing consistently, you need to be disciplined and betting on every race is also very difficult to make money. Good luck to all that are involved today!

What has happened with Out The Gate this week?? They took in over 12k from loyal punters this week! For some reason They have been extremely quiet in their wagering this week and they are all very lethargic, with very little excitement like previous weeks! They have had very few bets and hardly mention what the state of play is! Not sure why they need 4 people fronting the show and they are clearly showing that they are far from being experts, week in and week out! Maybe they need to change the format or presenters as they are not going to be attracting new punters to be wagering with their very poor track record of making any profit?

They are very quiet with their wagering this week?

Fair enough if you think it adds to viewing pleasure! If it is so great then have it every week!

Cup Day is not a day Brodie enjoys as a punter! Normally boycott it as a punting vehicle as it is a total gamble as fields too even to be offloading!
