  1. Not the point. I don’t know her, if it was someone close to me I would. No good me commenting more if your hiding posts
  2. I get a few offers from TAB & Betcha, both the same, will give 25% deposit BBs up to $50. I suppose they are offering a heap of other offers, so maybe cutting back on deposit deals
  3. Well, the new format seems ok. But need to sort graphics, camera shots and sound…. Plenty to sort for next week
  4. Not good for punters, owners or trainers. Track is more suited to front runners more than Cambridge… that shouldn’t happen.
  5. A great day at Methven last Sunday, club really puts on a show. Best part was the new toilet block that has been built/ renovated, even has a room to sit in complete with tables and chairs outside, well done. Motukarara need to upgrade their loos, they are a disgrace. Food on course only average, used to provide burgers and other options, pretty basic, chips half cooked, had food later. Track….. well not sure what to make of it. Anything leading, trailing or 3 deep won, nothing else really featured. Now, is it reason they have workouts, trails or horses testing that just use inside strip? Really needs to be looked at, I stopped betting after first 5 races. Didn’t help my bet of the day was involved in speed duel, both faded🤭
  6. The only reason Entain wants Geo Blocking is to take control of NZ punters….even you know that if they had control, odds will be less than now… so would be raking it in.
  7. Especially during Gambling Awareness week. TAB already under the pump this week…. Targeting young punters with Betcha. Entain only got this deal when that clown from Labour sold the TABs soul….National wont allow it
  8. Of course, you always agreed with Mard…. It was sickening. Come on, of course it’s coming from punters
  9. 🤣😂🫣
  10. Come on, do you really think the Government will introduce Geo Blocking just so the NZ TAB can greedily scoop the pool? Auckland Casino reckon they lose $250 mill to overseas operators too… so you reckon they will prosper too? Then you have Trademe and local retailers complaining about eBay, Temu…. So we gonna ban them too. As well as anything else you can buy online, especially smaller items that don’t cop extra tax? Below are the only Countries to Geo Block, you wanna join the club? Iran, Russia, Sudan, Syria,Brazil & China?
  11. No, didn’t have bet in trot races. Although, I did like Confessional, luckily didn’t have a punt.
  12. Only said expect an announcement? Won’t happen.
  13. Add in Masterly, who if it didn’t gallop would have won, he has plenty nice types….
  14. Oh dear…. Punters be feeling sick if they punted Confessional🫣. Horse won well last start, but small field so Paul couldnt stuff up that drive…. But in bigger fields like tonight, always unlucky. Master trainer thou, I reckon Tectonic and Confessional going to the top…especially if others are driving
  15. WTF?
  16. Kah just butchered another one… Letsfacethemusic😁😁😁😁
  17. Give him a bit of time, first go at Trackside. I don’t mind the guy
  18. Great to see Greg Oconner at Riccarton. Actually asks trainers & jockeys intelligent questions. Shows up the other chimp he is working with
  19. I see promo now is for 7 runners…. Still not enough to entice me
  20. Well, dropping from $40 to $25 will hardly make any difference to anyone actually interested in harness, although might get a few more drunk young ones there, here’s what has pissed me off in the last few years. 1-Alcohol, it’s bad enough paying big money for a simple beer, but after a few races they start selling you only 2 at a time, bloody hopeless if you’re in a group?? Does my head in…. 2-Food, pretty limited really in general areas, and bloody expensive. That’s why most have lunch or breakfast before arriving. 3-Seating, now the stand has gone very little seating is available? 4-Betting, usually I do betting on phone, but a few years back we had syndicate so had to bet with TAB. No bet slips anywhere, queue of many, We attended once in TAB area, from memory it was $100, got somewhere to bet and sit, that’s all ☹️ 5-Atmosphere, I used to love going but now in my late 50s it doesn’t have that buzz it once had, rather than horse followers excited about harness, others excited about music. 6-Parking, terrible. Either taxi or Uber, which adds to a very expensive day. All of the above put me off going to Addington over cup week, would rather go to Riccarton.
  21. First 2 races 2nd & 3rd promo today, not 8 runners so worthless. TAB has same offer regardless runners
  22. That’s because they are mostly abandoned
  23. Somebody should tell this crowd…. that we hardly have any 8 horse races anymore, so their bonus back 2nd and 3rd are useless, only 2 races out of the first 4 races have 8 runners. Yet TAB have same promo yet pay regardless of field size
