Newmarket

It’s another gambling site run by Entain and operated by Australians. Supposedly targeting younger punters who want to gamble on sports, but you can bet on horses also. No agencies, all online depositing and withdrawals

Big increase in Sports Betting, gallops turnover down even though more accounts opened. I assume majority of new accounts will be new Betcha accounts?

Yes I had mentioned that I get better offers from Betcha which is why I now use them over TAB. I am puzzled why would they offer better matched deposits, bonus bets for a punter like myself, around 70% horses & 30% sport? I thought it was targeting sports punters only. Yes they do offer different bet types, but mainly the same, even app same. I even had contact with my account manager from Betcha, asked me to let me know if I want tickets to events…. never had anyone ever contact me from TAB

Only 6% of all NZ turnover? Wow, thought it would be more that. Do you know the breakdown sport vrs racing? I struggle with the targeted market…. as they offer everything the TAB has so targeting the same market. Only real difference, all deposits a withdrawels online only.

So we don’t know figures for Betcha? I know it’s targeting youngsters to gamble, especially in the sports area, but I’m an old fart, Betcha are sending me bonus matched deposits nearly every week, and on fridays and saturdays I get about 18 bet returns available… so actively competing with NZ TAB…. end result being I am hardly betting with TAB anymore…. So interesting

Interesting thread….. What about Betcha? Is money gambled with Betcha included in TABs turnover? Seems very strange Entain starting Betcha in NZ, we were told it was targeting younger gamblers, but really both are similar.

All good, I’m just like others on here thinking it’s like the Scoobs and Leo days…. don’t worry, I’m gonna have a rest posting on gallops site, I’m over it. Maybe post odd time on harness site, but these sites have become very flakey and add nothing, farewell for now, won’t miss the BS ads…..

OMG… so it’s your site but you don’t know what happened🤣🤣 FFS, you do know, Freda was completely embarrassed about her comments, so she told you to remove thread….. how’s that…..

Ok, so the post where Freda said the C@“& and F&@$ on the Synthetic Track post, where is that? If you comment on it then I can see again. Ta

Was gonna say the same thing

Where have all the threads gone Chief, can’t see threads regarding poly tracks? Or did you need to delete because of the nasty language by a certain trainer? Let us know, seems strange and others have asked the question and nothing has been said, ta

Chief deleting a few threads🫣

Back To The Future was a great movie 🫣

Oh ok, I think Peter Ryder trained horse from memory

The Ryders had a handy team in the 80s….you may be able to answer this. Speedy Cheval started off with M Vermuluen, but was transfered later to Ryder stable, what was the story there, maybe it was sold to Aus and had a few starts in NZ first. From memory it went ok, I punted it in NZ cup when it came 3rd to Luxury Liner, think Speedy looked likely turning in, but others outstayed it. What are the Ryder’s up to now, cheers

Well done…. Patiro still looking for a gap…. Next time.

Driver can’t carry them…

Both TAB and Betcha fixed odds are the same prices, so one must be doing it for the other. Entain stated they would not lay off any TAB staff for 2 yrs…. that date must be getting close so must be a few that go. I contacted Betcha last year to enquire about something, I am sure the guy said he worked at Ladbrooks, but not 100% sure. Makes sense, cut TAB staff in NZ, get Aussie staff to pick up slack. Have had Betcha call me a few times recently, offering tickets for events, never had offers from TAB ever in 40 yrs punting….

Yep, agree with you, I’m a good winder upper….Must just fly under the radar as not been banned yet 😙

Some good memories right there…. Back then racing & rugby worked together, was a group of us that would meet at The Lancaster for a jug before Canterbury played on a Saturday arvo…. then special buses would cart you off to Addington for the trots…. we loved it.

No mate…. too busy punting🫣

I get what you’re saying, but you have to be realistic. So many variants, too wet, too dry, wide draw, too short distance, too long distance, straight too short, straight to short…. and so on. One thing I will say…. if every race at the poly track at Riccarton one Saturday was worth $40k…. all of a sudden trainers would be jumping out of trees to line up. Just to add, of course I would rather watch and bet on the grass at Riccarton, that’s a given. But at the same time, I can see the benefits of racing on the poly, some horses love it, some don’t.
