Addington Punters Feedback - Show Day

[Newmarket]

Anyone else attend punters club at Addington yesterday? Be interesting to hear others views, below are mine.

THE GOOD…Food was great, buffet style meal, followed by sweats after. Savouries came out later, while pizzas were supplied later in night, full marks👍.

THE BAD…Whoever set up the area, was not really catering for punters.

Couldnt hear anyone talking on mic….had 4 small TVs similar size to those in my bedroom….one had a reality womans show on until we asked someone to change…. volume was hopeless, everyone struggled to hear races? $9 for a can of speights… bar didn’t take cash….
 

I know, maybe no big deal, but here I am sitting at home in front of a big TV with sound, thinking how lucky I am about to watch Riccarton races.

Lighting was terrible. It was dark and then when they turned the spot lights on later was hard to see the TVs. Food was great. You are right sound was terrible. I never heard a word the MC's were saying. They may as well have been not there. On a brighter note the punting was great.

Cheers, seems like a good turnout.

Great salute to The B-52's

Motion in the ocean
His air hose broke
Lots of trouble
Lots of bubble
He was in a jam
S'in a giant clam
Rock rock
Rock lobster

and your horse 🙂

A lot of teams entered, by the look of it, a hard day at the office for most.

Great to have these punters competitions to drum up business.

Personally believe for them to operate more successfully and give the punter more opportunity and fairer, they need to be taking FIXED ODDS bets!

How did none of those teams win anything ?😎 some of the easiest picks ever show day. KEAYANG Zahara , special of the century. backed OscarB. (he has won the NZ FFA twice already and was good in the Dominion)

And all lost last 2 races on 'Best horse in the country' Merlin ? and 'Smoke on The Water' in the last race  (who boomed home Cup day from the back with a ''Get on Me Showday sign' on flashing bright) 

Think BOAY should have had a team ? in and would of been a Hand-Canter to Victory 🏆 . 

BOAY team of ( Gamma + $1000, Broster +$1000, The Galah +$1000, TABman +$1000, (Chief, Ranga, Blackie -1000 🙄) 😎 ) = total win $3, 000 win on the money and crushing that poor lot of pluggers at Addington PC 😋 .

Rather than have a nervous breakdown I'm out. Too much money = too much pressure for Ranga.

I will stick to INVESTING Chocolate Fish Portions with The Wycola Park Bookie.
