Newmarket Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Think the boys bombed out first 2 races…. So TAB has given them huge inflated odds.. $100k on Skew Wiff to finish top 2, odds of $5 🤣 Let’s see how it goes…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far less in the BGP pool this year, maybe punters are realising it may be better having a punt themselves 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't follow you this time but you might as well try again if they any left. Probably getting desperate now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each to their own and not a criticism (as they can do what is they like) but I found there bet on to bravery born at $2.80 just bizarre. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many folk out there still enjoy being part of their group punt......At our table of 6 ,3 had and interest in BGP ...$20 , $40 and $50. Certainly created interest and as usual part of something much bigger....plus the 'excitement' in the laat when there was a huge punt ,over $100k on Alabama Express who did a Sylvia Potts in the final event. Normal day at office ...95% of Punters Lost. TAB Forever if you like. One of our 3 won a bonus bet ,so happy ,the other two had no idea cos they couldn't navigate the TAB App, had to ask a school boy to help ! Over 850 ,from all around NZ bought into the BGP room with many meeting at lunchtime in Kingsland and bussed to the course. Word is they had a great day....and looking forward to next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how much you promote it @TAB For Ever the BGP model of promotion has a limited life. Cracks are starting to show. I know an increasing number of BGP members who no longer bother with the BGP betting pool but maintain a connection so they join the public stand area that it partitioned off for them. How is the BGP pool a positive marketing promotion for the TAB? Sure the TAB makes a net revenue from it even though the margin after marketing is significantly less than any other product they have. Explain why is it good marketing for the TAB to promote a product that so glaringly highlights, to quote you, that 95% of punters lose? As a group of BGP members said to me it isn't a good look that the BGP has all the resources, inside information and favourable odds a available to it as still loses big? As they said they'd rather have direct control over how they lose their money. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just been thinking this morning CS did the training partnership thank Dave for buying these horses this year? I'm not sure I heard them thank him this year , I hope they did, be awful if they forgot to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about this for a new idea , KM night 2 this time only 4 races& races start at 6pm, what do you think be amazing for nzracing surely??
