Well what a joke. I have given Beteasy a real plug the last few years, but since it merged to Sportsbet, its been crap. live chat is terrible, obviously have so many punters complaining, so must have 20 or so punters to each customer service rep. Spent 1 hr trying to find out how to get app on iphone, finally found out, no app, only android?? Would not let me deposit, seems i need to be verified again, FFS , they told me it would be an easy transition??? Now i can not withdraw, because my card is not verified??? Yet they let me deposit same account?? Really pissing me off, seems NZ customers will have same issues. Anyone else got same issues?

Wow, Beteasy was great to bet with, but now they have merged with Sportsbet, its a disgrace!!

Not sure why they can not let people park in car park & social 2m distancing? Its not like you are all inside. See thousands in malls, what am i missing

Thanks, thats a bummer. Oh well, least it is still going ahead so can watch on tv

Great news that Methven back next week. But looks like we will still be under Covid Level 2, so what will that mean for punters? I am dead keen to go, in fact first time since lockdown am i interested in a race meeting!!!!!

So how did the lady train 3 winners, if no licence?

Forgot to add, If you need help with beteasy app, let me know. I find it user friendly. As i have mentioned, only negative i have, is the charges that get taken out when i withdraw. If i withdraw about $300, usually around $280 gets deposited. If you withdraw more, it evens out more with nz vrs aus exchange rates. That is the only negative, I love the bet return options on a sat, sometimes 8, 10, or even 15 once👍

Good luck👍

Yes, but my point being, I am nowhere near an elite punter, but still get looked after by beteasy.

Totally agree with Joe Bloggs, David was harshly treated. Christ, we have people in nz that fleece everyone for millions, get a slap on the wrist or 6 month home detention in their mansion??? Davids career was stopped, that was it. Of course he was stupid doing it, for very little gain. Take up Joes offer David👍👍

Gee, thats strange😆😆

What worries me in this thread, it is mainly trainers, owners or followers of racing commenting. You do know the success of racing is gamblers, look at sky city auck, still made profit in lockdown with online gambling? I hear zero, nothing, zilch how nz is going to get punters betting more with the tab. They are more worried about blocking nz punters betting elsewhere, which we know will never happen. Why, we all know that more turnover with the nz tab comes from outside nz, than within, so they will be worse off, that is the reason it has not been done yet. They have done everything they can to drive punters away, and they continue to do it. Its a sad time, but the future looks bleak

Not true, i know a few punters that love betting on aussie tracks, they usually handle it or not, so can run to form. One mate loves it, because of the draining nature, you do not have the firm to heavy extremes. I will go initially, but once novelty wears off, it will be the same

Wow, thats a small list. Yep, pretty sure The Club closed, pulling everything out last week.

35 days of racing??? Take away the main dates, nobody turns up? I support an all weather track, but it is hardly the silver lining. Pitty, i agree it might suit your stable more than others, as you seem to race them more often, but I am sure, many horses will hate it, just like they do overseas. As soon as tossers put owners before punters, that is when the house of cards started to tumble.

Some great pics here, lets post a few from way back, when racing was loved by all.

Seems a few got robbed years ago. I remember when old John from the old Edgeware TAB got robbed, everytime anyone ran thru the door he shit himself😂. Grumpy old prick, his wife was nice looking & pleasant. Also remember when the Aranui TAB got robbed. A few rumours did the rounds back then, mmmm interesting.

The Club, up by the Sydenham Bakery. Bowl n Jack still has terminal and self service, but they do expect terminal to close soon. Funny you mention Sandridge, drove by recently, no TAB sign outside??

Yep, been with them for a few years, always look after you. They will offer some good promos once they merge. They even sent me this for my birthday!! Never got anything from the tab.

Good rider, but he gets beaten on a lot of hot favs

Sorry, the first few times they met starship was fav, later TK hot fav.

Your missing the point. Yes, I have sky in 2 rooms, and of course I can watch trackside on sky go, or listen to trackside radio on the app, so all is well at home. But i agree with others, it is a bloody hassle if you are on the road a lot. Yes, I can listen to trackside radio on app and play thru bluetooth, but when a call comes thru, or lose wifi, or email arrives etc, it stops feed? Usually just when race is getting to the finish post. Also seems to stop after listening for a while, so have to have push play again. I just never bet now mid week, only when I know I will be home. Cut my betting in half

Yes, those 3 mentioned with of course CC, he had a good run. Starship started fav in most of his clashes with Tuapeka Knight, but came off second best. I remember Ian Cameron closing the gap to the line one day with the old hub rail, still won in the end.

I am running out of places to deposit. Not too keen to deposit on line, dont like the banks to see what i am doing with my dough. But The Club in Sydenham is now closed, dodgy pub, but used to deposit money. No tab in barrington, christ they are making it hard.

Happens all the time
