Total BS…. I know of many punters at the Casino that have been approached regarding their gambling… even i  was approached about 10 yrs ago playing Blackjack at the Christchurch Casino, reason being i arrived there at midnight and was still playing at 7am with a few mates, told me to take a break. Funny thing, since Casino first opened, only been there about 6 times, not been there for about 8 yrs.  But nobody gets asked at TAB outlets or betting online, your dreaming. Once again your comments show somebody  who has no idea about gambling, apart from your little syndicate on Melbourne Cup day at the retirement village.    Would like to know, if anybody has ever been contacted by the TAB either at an outlet or online…. I have been punting 42yrs…. A BIG NO from me.

I doubt Otaki earn that from running their own race days there
