holy ravioli Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Top 10 races by turnover: Melbourne Cup, Flemington (thoroughbreds) $12.6m NZ Trotting Cup, Addington (harness) $2.0m The Everest, Randwick (thoroughbreds) $1.9m Flemington R10, Melb Cup Day (thoroughbreds) $1.4m Karaka Million 3YO, Pukekohe (thoroughbreds) $1.3m New Zealand Cup, Riccarton (thoroughbreds) $1.2m Caulfield Cup, Caulfield (thoroughbreds) $1.2m Karaka Million 2YO (thoroughbreds) $1.2m Railway Stakes, Te Rapa (thoroughbreds) $1.1m NZ 1000 Guineas, Riccarton (thoroughbreds) $1.0m So 3 of the top 5 are aussie races and the MC alone attracted more betting than the cumulative total of the other 9 top t.o's. Addington t.o a standout.What does it tell us about TB racing in NZ.Although Geo blocking should be a ...big help.🙄 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeynz Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 It probably doesn't tell us anything we don't know already. Melbourne Cup is the day many people have their only bet for the year,. Trotting Cup at Addington the same. Interesting though is Flemington race 10 on Cup Day. Would be nice to have the turnovers for all meetings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Stipe Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 TAB New Zealand reveals most daring bets of 2023 from Karaka Million to Melbourne Cup www.nzherald.co.nz 22 Dec, 2023 03:30 PM5 mins to read It seems the thrill of the game is alive and well in the heart of New Zealand. Photo / Richard Robinson It seems the thrill of the game is alive and well in the heart of New Zealand. Photo / Richard Robinson TAB New Zealand has spilled the beans on this year’s boldest bets, and it’s safe to say some punters have nerves of steel. Multi-bets took centre stage for the daring souls out there. One punter threw down a cool $50 on a 22-leg multi, covering cricket, baseball, tennis, rugby union, rugby league, volleyball, AFL, golf, basketball, and e-sports. The result? A jaw-dropping $53,326 windfall. But that’s not the only success story. In September, another punter transformed a $50 racing multi, spanning eight legs across four meetings, into a whopping $76,478. Meanwhile, a savvy bettor snagged $21,739 from a mere $10 bet on a seven-leg winning team and margin combo across four Rugby World Cup games, two NPC matches and an international rugby league showdown. For those on a budget, a single sports bet under $1000 hit the jackpot when one punter walked away with $37,750. How? A $250 correct score bet on a football match between Lyon Women and Slavia Prague Women (9-0) at odds of $151 did the trick. AdvertisementAdvertise with NZME. In the world of thoroughbreds and harness racing, New Zealand showcased its equestrian prowess with three standout meetings. The New Zealand Cup at Riccarton took the lead with a whopping $7.4 million, closely followed by the NZ Trotting Cup at Addington flaunting a substantial $6.9m. Not to be outdone, Pukekohe’s Karaka Million pranced in with a stylish $5.7m. The crown for the top race by turnover went to the Melbourne Cup at Flemington, boasting a colossal $12.6m. Speaking of big wins, Boys Get Paid lived up to their name by snaring the two biggest racing victories in 2023 through their Punters Club on the Karaka Million in January. A hefty $200,000 bet on Maven Belle and a $156,000 wager on Fashion Shoot left punters toasting to success with returns of $500,000 and $273,000 respectively. Beyond the thundering hooves and flashy finishes, Kiwis displayed their love for a diverse range of sports. The top five sports by turnover were basketball, football, rugby league, tennis and rugby union. AdvertisementAdvertise with NZME.

It's a good thing that overall the BGP aren't that successful otherwise they would surely be restricted in the amounts they can win like @Brodie I note that the $5 Melbourne Cup bet is not mentioned. I thought it returned $300k+? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these punters that get paid out the big amounts, then restricted for life? Probably not because there is not fairness involved and punters are not treated equally! Xmas time, you would think the TAB would show some Xmas spirit but highly doubt it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
