FFS…. just another joke … add in the ongoing App issue…. once you get a monopoly, you never have to get better do you. Didnt worry me, i put my Aussie bets on Sportbet

Yeah, this shit went on for quite awhile last night, its even slow and buggy today. Got mate to put bets on in Aus for me…. cant be arsed with NZ circus

So i suppose its a little like the BGP boys here in NZ? Seem to hear less of them now….although i did see them selling tickets Magic Millions day for $165, with lunch and 4 free drinks in special room. Think thats ok, as entrance is $65, dont think many would complain.

The majority of youngsters betting on sport usually follow only certain sports, Basketball a favourite. Game goes for 2 hrs, so unless betting inplay, money tied up for awhile. Compare to punters on a Sat arvo, races going every 5mins, as well as having a punt on sports. This brigade is the one the spends the dosh….

He pops up in so many FB feeds….. really abusing Jacinda and Labour. I am not a labour supporter…. but the things he says is very nasty, he has his followers from his bar i suppose…. must be a few up there happy he pulled out as mayor candidate….

I did try all other Apps, they seemed to work ok, so your on the money.

You have to be realistic with Entains figures, of course they were going to see an increase in betting revenue with below windfalls… 1- NZ punters can no longer bet in Australia, Entain was always going to see natural revenue growth. 2- Entain introduced Betcha App, targeting mainly younger punters betting on mainly sport, all sorts of promos available to entice punters. So it is easy to see why an increase, you would have to be stupid if you thought revenue would go backwards, although with the BS leakage figures that were mentioned, nothing like those gains, which we knew was just a way of cementing a NZ monopoly… as well of course their Safer Gambling shit, which as i have mentioned earlier is just a box ticking exercise. But in the next year or two, Entain going to struggle in NZ, just like they have in Aussie after initial splurge…. below comments will be interesting. 1- Greyhound racing, this will cost Entain millions, and i would say when the greenies see imported Dog racing from Aus, push will be to stop it, as i think they should. Those involved in Dog will most likely leave the racing game also, or at least revenue will reduce, going to be huge. 2- Betcha sign ups have now stagnated, will see less active TAB & Betcha accounts in next 18 months. 3-Ageing population is going to be a big one, older generation mainly have more weekly spend racing loyalists still regularly bet. Compare this to younger type punters, more into sports betting, or major Cup days. Majority wont follow racing all year. Chiefs going to say i am being negative, but i am being realistic, it will be a huge struggle to see increased betting turnovers, in fact it will be impossible. Have a good day all, enjoy the racing.

Both been down for 30 mins…piss poor.

How will they replace the millions lost next year without the NZ dogs? Anyone heard?

Never said i didnt like CS….just that he is quick to judge and i am sure that stops a few from posting, needs to be less hostile

Hey Hesi, are you not involved with the other racing site now?

Yeah, true…. Funny that the site owner disagrees with the majority of posters on here…. not sure why he does not delete everyone, still post under our names, then comments would agree with everything he says…

At least all the other posters on this thread can see my point…. sadly you are quite ok for all of our kids and grandkids to be bombarded with these offers…. sad, but i see an issue with it

Totally agree…. Entain keep giving them free $1000 bonus bets to keep going

What a crazy question…. you know i love racing, especially harness. But come on, surely you can see enticing kids at 18yrs to constantly gamble with matched deposits is a dangerous thing…. and online Casinos are the worst.
