Anyone help? Haven't found a percentage box but if you fill in the amount you want to spend on your quaddie on the bottom (of the two boxes) on the betslip the top one will auto-populate with the percentage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelTheFear Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I finally managed to get on with a VPN after days of trying. It is rather slow to load pages on my ipad. Tried holding the charger cord above my head but it wouldn't come down any faster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 If the TAB site is meant to update regularly how come a $5 divvy can drop to $1.20 after the race close, massive punt or irregular updating ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryb Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Well well well, its my farking turn tonight. The site is being a complete c--t & I am sturggling to look at anything at Kumara, keeps coming up with "An error has occured". I have resisted saying much negative as any issues for me are easy enough overcome by getting the info elsewhere or just making do, but this is giving me the shits tonight. Can only bring up races 1 and 2, the rest cause a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, resisting saying something negative by getting the info. elsewhere is an absolute indictment on what should be a user-friendly, informative website where both sports and racing punters feel the $50m spend is giving them value for money. Sure, a few teething problems are always going to happen but I think punters deserve better than they have had this week, be it using the website and via customer service I read a TAB Facebook post which summed up for me why we have such a debacle. The poster was chosen to be a focus group member during the process. I quote his comment below: "... Lallit i was part of the focus group...i went into their Petone offices and it was an interview type session with me and 2 of their consultants...they recorded the discussion and asked me to repeat myself to just about every suggestion i had several times...they couldn't grasp what i was saying...both of then said to me at the end of the session they weren't gamblers so had no idea about how it works...i came home to my partner on that day and said "well the TAB is now phucked"...maybe it'll take me a while to get use to it but at this stage I'm not much of a fan...can't get the streaming going on my mobile but ok on ipad...maybe just teething issues...juries out for mine" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I clicked on R3, I got a top of page banner saying something had gone wrong and to refresh the page. I did so and after 4 circles of death did their thing for 30 seconds or so I got R3 and all subsequent races second time round. Not looking forward to tomorrow when the first real pressure will be placed on the site 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomates Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 The powers that be would never for a fleeting second have even considered consulting or asking opinions of the multitude of experienced regular punters around this country . They and their consultants and IT experts know best in their opinion so why on earth would they lower themselves and bother to listen to mug punters . You will find NZTR also live on this higher plane . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flagship uberalles Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I had 3 bets tonight, two were straight place bets and one was a first 4 at Cranbourne that I randomly fancied ..there was 4mins and 30 secs before Cranbourne went off, this wasn't enough time to get the bet on, with all the hamster wheels turning on every horse number I pressed... frustrating....I'm going old school tomorrow and using half a tank of petrol to find a TAB agency, I haven't got the patience for this shit. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These corporate bookies in Aus are not the Panacea that a few are making them out to be on here. I have had a lot more experience that probably most on here by a wide margin. I opened my first account nearly 20yrs ago which was IAS operated by the famous bookmaker Mark Read. Whilst yes they give bonuses and boosts & offer a lot a great things, they only offer them to 2 types of punters, 1) New punters to them whom they don't know, 2) Those whom they perceive as long term losers. I have lost a lot of money with them through the way they treat you as a customer and various other issues, the plus side is great for sure but if you are anyhting decent its only short lived. Be careful what you wish for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turny Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) Already at one bookies in Oz Barry, 4 years on and no issues - opened another account yesterday. In my heart I cannot see NZ TAB getting it right, 18 months to present the shyte we have - no thanks, out Edited January 11, 2019 by Turny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hesi Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 The true test will be comparative data between the Trentham meeting today and 12 months ago, plus ongoing data. Only problem, we no longer have the data for 12 months ago, and we won't get any for today. Transparency only applies to others 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanturk Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 you can place a bet from overseas on the nz tab. personally i have just placed a bet and thought the new site worked really easy. i did have to use my data to place tho as wifi it wont accept Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hesi Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Finding it really cumbersome trying to navigate around the site. The back button takes you right back, click on the downward arrow to get prices in order and firstly it goes to highest at the top, no results for this meeting last year, can't click on a jockey or trainer to see what else they have or are riding Lots of little stuff On the positive side, I like the fluctuations column.

Newmarket Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) Well, Had to deposit a few bucks yesterday to give it a workout. I dont want to keep harping on about beteasy, but that app is so user friendly compared to nz tab one. To keep going back to top of screen to get to next race is a joke, most sites allow you to swipe screen to next race. It kept re starting , slow and trackside feed was in and out all night, yet sky go and netflix fine. I did have a laugh, which sums up the shithole site, is when you place fixed odds bet on 2 horses in a race, it even tells you how much you could collect?? FFS, even if they dead heat you cocks, you wouldnt get full div on both. Verdict for me, wont close tab acc, but it will still be my 3rd choice. Did try cashout option, seemed to work ok, but you may be better to punt on other team live, rather than take reduced odds. Good Luck Today All, its a bloody shame to see people closing accounts because of this, even more so with regular punters Edited January 11, 2019 by Newmarket 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Stipe Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 It seems the web site is far from a normal site as we are all used to. It is an application relying heavily on JavaScript coding hence the many blue hamsters. So instead of caching it is always reloading assets.

Mark D Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Yip poor last night and I'm off to work today so I've put my bets on - some troubling signs - I'd say once it gets busy there'll be issues. Any sign of the update that John Allen said they would do? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the odd thing, they have all these options but sometimes not the most basic one. The other day I was looking at a cricket game, 20 odd options but no head to head option. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
