Pete Lane Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago 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.

aquaman Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago looks like bonus bets have been down sized to. Also they have introduced an apatheid system on both platorms, TAB, and this new Betcha. They are flat out in reverse gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tragedy Beat Posted 45 minutes ago Share Posted 45 minutes ago 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wednesday northern galloping meeting always seems to have heaps of dual acceptors. Edited 13 minutes ago by Pete Lane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres bugger all an odds setter can do when a horse is a dual acceptor within 24 hours and have not been scratched for the following day.

Tragedy Beat Posted 8 minutes ago Share Posted 8 minutes ago A select few find a loophole and take advantage of it and spoil things for the rest. Symbolic of NZ society really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
