They are big fields there Chief, I think she will struggle to win a race!! Which one do you like the best, we can lay it 😗. I thought Saban run home well for 2nd, never going to win but beat rest easily.

Fair enough, you all seem to disagree and that’s fine. But really Harness is on a downward spiral, except the grass scene which offers a great family experience and keeps growing. Punters have far more options to gamble, years ago I would have offloaded on the Addington Trots tonight, but instead I have bet on the league and afl, looking forward to the Aus racing on Sat. Judging by poor betting figures lately, I am thinking a lot of punters thinking the same. Low class harness racing not helping, dumbing down an already poor product.

Don’t think we are the fighting types, too old. More like… A FRIGHT NIGHT 😆

Me, I am over the constant crap harness racing. Small fields that are less than 8 runners I never bet on, we are specialising in 2nd tier harness. When anyone comments on here about memories of harness, it’s never about a maiden, amateur or claiming race. People talk about heading out to Addington in July to watch Hands Down battle it out, or Sir Castleton and Basil Dean…. even when we have open class racing or cups, they are usually low class or small fields.

Crazy money….

Haha, you initially put up $6.7 mil and I corrected you…. Then changed your post and deleted mine….your funny

Very good post, I don’t agree with you all the time but do this time. Has McGrath done his time, how long is too long? Let’s be honest, been some pretty dodgy shit in harness over the years, most swept under the carpet. So I see no worries to see him start back out working for someone with limits placed. You mention Michael House, not a fav of mine but I have heard another story similar to yours, so he gets a thumbs up for me. And while we are at it, I always thought the way the David Walker disqualification was way over the top, talented guy yet never rode in a race again.

I think we are over the saturated low class racing. Bad enough the amateur racing, then we have claiming too? Maybe look at handicapping first, maybe first couple wins penalty free

Here’s a list of the countries that are Geo Blocking…. surely looking at this list NZ would be the laughing stock of the world if we joined. If NZ did go the Geo Blocking way, how does that affect those buying goods from overseas, eg Temu, ebay, Amazon ?

I suppose most have moved on from watching trackside and waiting for divs, results etc. Just get a smartphone while watching, easy as

Forget turning $100 into $6000, it’s the turnover the point here. So what’s your view if he turned over $30k in the 150 bets? What’s that worth to tab

Maybe it’s you struggling here… let’s face it, the facts here are a little flimsy… maybe 100-150 bets, starting with 10% Quin, 90% Trifecta, started with $100 turns into $6000. Only you Chief can even try to speculate on this, how much was he betting, how much was his collects, if you don’t know net info how can you even discuss. Talking to my Sportsbet rep, he has told me several times that they mostly ban punters from overseas for betting after race has started, or arbing. Did say they look at NZ punters betting on trifectas on Sportsbet, but overall it’s not the reason they close Accs.

Whoa… that’s harsh, I have no idea where she is, just asking you as your no 1 fan.

Yeah, sad watching Nth Island harness…can’t see it getting better anytime soon

Black mare with white harness…

Not surprised the ones supporting McGrath….

You numpty, he didn’t win off every one of those 150 bets …. So the bets he didn’t win the tab take out heaps, isn’t it 27%? How anyone can win long term betting on exotic bets is beyond me. Funny how a couple on here constantly state they are banned, but never post any certs on here 🤔

Did I hear right…. gonna start him over fences next week or so?

Hey Chief, any idea why Jamie not riding today at Doomben? Was initially down to ride Hezashocker, but change rider. Hope she is ok

So you had up to 150 bets, turned $100 into $6k in 4 weeks? Why would anyone ban you, they are getting a high takeout rate everytime you take a trifecta?? And why would you bother to even bet on Aus on this type of bet, as they pay NZ tab divs?

Ok, but as you won on quinellas and trifectas…. how do the bookies come into it?

Flick us your selections and betting plan and I will reward you once I win. Must admit, pretty often on this place, you can stop a few from winning, same as us all.

Brodie, Nowornever I am interested in your betting to make you so successful. Nowornever, you mentioned your account was closed after opening with $1k and end up with $6k. So was it a single fixed odd bet, or several? Just interested to know, seems crazy to suspend somebody after one month, unless there is something else happening.

I find Sportsbet ok to deal with, mind you looking at recent betting statement for last 12 months, I lost money so they love me.

Entain stated no TAB staff layoffs for 24 months…. Coming up to 12 months, how many will go this time next year
