I like it so far,  some neat options,  streaming works well.  I'm sure they'll tweak it in part as needed.  Seems to be a site that will take a few weeks to get the hand of,  no different  to 365 or Ladbrokes in that regard. 

I love to know about these neat options you've found - racing only ?

The site is very much a copy of Sportsbet with some minor changes added, functionally its better laid out than Sportsbet as well.

I guess thats why I have grasped it so easy as I use Sportsbet daily.

Give me Sportsbet anyday over this. Just my view - each to their own

Yeah, Huey i will give tab a break for a few days, wont abuse them too much, hopefully it will improve. I would have thought that the  tab would have made sure most devices would be suitable with app, but seems not.

Mate I just checked on the ipad & my daughters Iphone 7 plus and it loads within seconds and works a treat. must be something you have done or not done.

& works a treat also on my crappy Samsung android

why would you sturggle with this if you use Sportsbet, its a copy?.

I am not struggling, I just don't like it. Personally, as I have said I find it cumbersome and hard on the eyes. Racenet and Sportsbet are using better formatting, colours and fonts, IMO . I just find it easier to source the info. I want on Racenet/Fields than I do using the new site. However, I will still bet with the NZ TAB when it suits me to do so.

Each to there own, I just think there is a lot of whinging when in all honesty there isnt a lot really that wrong here.

Maybe its a fear of change thing for some people, comfort zone maybe. hahaha.

It will be all good by the weekend.

Agree 100%. I really like it, especially for sports. Hopefully the h2h’s for Racing will be available in due course. Some good $ to be made on aus Racing if you follow the fair closely and bet late.

I can assure you it won't be " all good"  by the weekend for me and I am not one who fears change, nor am I out of my comfort zone. I was looking forward to some real improvements so, to date, I am disappointed. I sincerely hope the TAB does listen and make improvements as time goes on. However, I certainly won't be using the new site as a racing formguide anytime soon.

 

I hope the sports punters are happy ?

If you rely on the TAB website to do ‘form’ then your a mug.

whats wrong with it mate? are you clicking in the right area?.

Click on the best bets section far right hand side, then the next screen will appear, click expand all or just the runner you want to look at, more info contained there than preivously and thats a positive isnt it?.

Fair comment, but I''d like to think it provided enough info. to be a useful tool in a toolbox. It should be insightful enough to inform the casual punter who just wants a bit of historical info. before placing a bet.

I imagine most serious/professional punters accumulate their own information/stats to inform their decision-making.

Exactly, I'm clicking forever to get all the info I want!  At least, with the old Expanded Form I only needed to click once to expand it to see all info. for all runners on a single page. 

Each to their own. if you love it then that's great

Now its on a sperate web page, even better.

You are also forgetting that it now looks the same on every device, which is the whole point.

Yep, as I said, it works on my old android device and laptop, but i suggest if you have Iphone8, you may have issues like me. 

Now that i have had a look around on laptop, i suppose it is a little better. 

Sadly, still cant take multi each way, win or place, fixed or tote mixed. Just the old any 2, 3 , blah blah or straight multi! Big chance to go to the lucky 15 type bets, which some of the smaller puntets would love. 

Cash out, well the problem will be, the option is suspended that much, punters will struggle to cash out when they like. 

So without being negative, its a fail for me

Can't work out the resulted bets section. Gives me this:

Transaction History

Filter:
View
Time Period
 
 
 

No results found

No results found - please modify search

Have you had a bet since the change? All previous data from the old system is gone. They did warn people about this.

Fark, just found one thing that shits me right off.

Where are the scr?.

Seriously I have to go through race by race trying to find them?.

Agreed. Also, can you point me to where I find the time and margins in the race result?

Did you look all that hard mate?. They appear to me under the results section, logic would say there I guess.

Yes, I can now see that they are being populated (slowly)... Race 5 still has no margins...Race 6 the same. The time for Race 6 has only just gone up

It surely can't be gone? They are obliged to store all financial transaction records for five years aren't they? And I'm entitled to access mine I thought.
