Newmarket

Yep,

Chief, many old race goers would struggle with the tech side of the world. It was a struggle just to get the folks to use mob phone, never mind smart phone. Go back 10 years, I was in 4 weekly betting syndicates, 2 family, 2 work. I used to pay $10 to each per week, as did others. 10 in family synd, 20 in work synd, everyone, which we split up just before Xmas. We used to bet over $30k a year, not bad really. The older members, that ran them, pulled out. They couldn’t get the form in their trusty newspaper, then trackside got pulled free to air. I know what everyone is saying, I love looking on line, or printing fields, but I know for myself, you tend to do far more betting by yourself nowadays, rather than associating with others as much as previously.

Agree, canceled paper couple of years ago, do same as you. But many older folk don’t have wifi, so these are about the only ones buying the paper.

Yeah, I’m not complaining really, just asking the question. Works both ways, I’m sure we have all collected too with this sort of driving.

What a certainty beaten

Thought Hail Christian was a good bet tonight, but luckily I changed my mind. Reason- Dex & John Dunn had front line draws, sure enough Betters Heart steams to front, only to hand up to Billy Badger. Now I’m not saying anything dodgy is going on, but does other drivers in a race alter your way of punting? The 2 Green runners in race 7 Alex tonight was similar, stablemate burns to front, only to hand up to fav, which controls the race and sprints home to win. Should the stipes ask a few more questions, or is everybody happy with the sprint home tactics.

Racing print in ChCh press so bloody small, can’t even see it with my reading glasses!!

Good on them

Amazing how short horses start with DD driving. Mind you, he cleaned up at forbury tonight, so you can see why the public jump on.

Some real good races. That filly race is very open.

See, told ya.?

Funny you say yawn. If anyone was going to sleep thru anyone’s posts, they would be yours.

Jail!

Wow, I see a punter placed $100k on Hurricanes to beat Blues at $1-23 odds? Now, they should win, but both these teams are a little in or out at times. Not for me, I think I could find a better sports bet at same odds.

Absolutely agree. This crowd is showing the silly old pale stale males who’ve been trying ( really badly ) to run the clubs, and NZTR, how to reach out to and embrace fresh young blood........should’ve happened years ago....I joined their FB page today and if I can I’ll be subsiding their activities any time they’re in AK. They sound like a laugh to be with, and when’s the last time you saw anyone involved with administration laughing at the races ? I note they’ve registered colours, well here’s my first offer, every time one of the BGP boys says FUCK on Trackside I’ll give you a $500 bar tab.....and if you mention Headquarters Viaduct in the same interview I’ll double it ( but you can’t speak badly of HQ in any way shape or form, and you certainly can’t say fuck HQ !! ) Go team BGL....let rip and give this game, and the stupid old farts in charge, a bloody good shake. It is funny, the only mates he has now, are the ones that suck up for a discounted meal?. I notice the person that started this thread only had a couple of posts before, what does that tell you? Yep, scoobs making up more mock accounts, amazes me how he remembers them all! Mind you, he had to do something, nothing was happening.

Please BGP, stay away from the guy. It will end in tears. How come this guy has to use the F word? Come on, he’s not a teenager, grow up. No need for it on these sites.

Not me mate, but have a bloody good day.

A good read alright. I can just see them lugging around computers that were the size of a small fridge!

If it’s on turnover, my mistake.

Thanks cross code. So it is on turnover, not losing amount? Rebate amount is 5%?

Ha, wonder who this is from other site ?

I see you have recently joined, which is good to see. If I am wrong, tell me what you know regarding rebates at the TAB.

Must be a little early in the morning mate. If you bet $10k with tab, and broke even, you would get nothing. If you bet with crownbet for instance, bet same $10k and broke even you would at least get $50 bonus bet, maybe more due to their great promo deals. Big difference getting bonuses for turnover compared to bonuses for losing.

Shiv, Matched deposits, free bets, promos of course work, that’s what enticed me to bet mainly with aus bookies. But TAB pay rebates on punters that lose for a certain period, they give back 5%. So an elite punter loses $1000.00 in a month, they give him back $50? To pay on punters losing, is crazy. By the way, I have emailed tab before, they wanted my tab Acc details, but as I don’t bet much with them anymore, they would not give me any more details. So what’s your views Shiv, rather than just direct people to an email address,

Yeah, Reefton I think you know the snarky remarks were intended for a certain person, you will know that he loves the banter?. To have a horse good enough to even set foot on Aussie soil is huge. Good luck for the future, both owners & horse.
