No Deductions to cease


Recommended Posts

We introduced No Deductions to our customers in August 2022. While it’s been a popular promotion with some customers, we’ve since offered new exciting generosity tools and options in the last six months.

It’s important we review our products and offerings and take onboard feedback from the Racing Integrity Board. As a result, we’ve reassessed offering No Deductions and will bring the promotion to an end on 31 December 2024.

From 1 January 2025, deductions will apply on all TAB fixed odds Final Field win and place markets for race meetings.

Punters Promise remains part of TAB’s offering. With Punters Promise, TAB customers can win a minimum of $2,000 when they place their first fixed odds win bet on a New Zealand race.

Obviously the RIB betting analyst is doing some work and suspects late scratchings are a deliberate manipulation of the market.

Perhaps the RIB might provide feedback on the silly head to head bet offerings.  There have been cases where the two horses in a head to head have finished down the track.

I think they've been hit by trainers accepting for multiple races on weekdays.

Definitely open to manipulation.

Theyve been nailed by people attacking non-deduction fixed odds trifectas too. Over a month ago I saw punters climb into a Mooney Valley race on the Saturday. Three of the runners started the night before so were a no show for Saturday. Taking a healthy boxed tri on the 5 horses left over (and the two favs were involved in the scratchings) meant that punters were going to make ample returns no matter what the result. Another group did straight win bets with the 5 runners, moderating their punts to the order of favouritism for each horse (ie: piling more on the lower divvy horses, less on the outsiders, etc). 

They cleaned up.
