Steve Paul Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) In the words of Crusty....GONE. Just been told my local and favourite TAB is closing at the end of the month. Gutted, although will probably save me a small fortune. Edited April 19, 2018 by Steve Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Paul Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 Yes looking forward to it. Love PJ's comps' even with the sudden plethora of various competition's, some with quite large prizes, still by far the best going, and played by so many just for fun, amazing. Never had the pleasure of being top of the 'magnificent seven' see you Saturday!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordy Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Steve, I hope you have all your utilities up and running after the storm last Tuesday. I am down the other end of Vodanovich and we still haven’t got our hot water back yet. With PJ’S comps running for most of the year I get to see why I shouldn’t go anywhere near a TAB Haha. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had the pleasure of being top of the 'magnificent seven' see you Saturday!!! The pressure the pressure... I've never been near the mag seven before either. It has become a bit of an obsession now. I have a feeling you may be No 1 after this weekend based on some pretty average performances from me lately. All good fun though. I love it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many a great win and many a great loss Inevitable with everything online. The Westgate one also closed about 3 months ago, fortunately the lady in there got taken on by the Lincoln North TAB. Just that and Henderson(Penny) left in the wild west now, maybe New Lynn?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 They are dying all over the place, even some of the RSA/Cossie clubs have gone to machines instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Ashburton TAB closed.Got to go into bars now to take money out. At one stage,not that long ago the Ashburton TAB had biggest turnover per head of population. Actually thinking about it was probably 20 years ago.Boy time flies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kakama Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Funny thing, they close down the tab,s around nz, yet still have those bloody outdated self service terminals, takes ages to load notes, half the time they refuse them? No wonder I bet mainly elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want to make it as hard as they can to withdraw/collect your money......if they want to play with the big boys they need to have a withdrawal attachment to their on line service, they can take a deposit from your card online but no withdrawal! Coral, Ladbrokes, William hill have been doing it for donkeys years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newmarket Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Hi All, A few years ago, TAB was going to place those self service machines in supermarkets, clubs, all over the show? What happened? I get it, most do punting on devices, I do the same, but at large malls etc, why not have one with lotto outlet. Totally agree with Flag, overseas operators make it easy to deposit & withdraw, tab make it as hard as possible to withdraw, halve the time they have no cash? Pretty poor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
