Nowornever Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago They supposedly have a bookmaker from Betcha doing the fixed odds pre race "where the money is going" bit on trackside. Is this the money that is going on the Betcha fixed odds or Entain? Are the fixed odds now now controlled from Betcha like they are making it out to be on trackside?

Not sure, but arent they basically one snd the same? Certainly are just as restrictive with certain punters they dont want! They want you to punt with them, until they dont! They are very poor losers, and dont take the bad with the good😢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nowornever Posted 8 hours ago Author Share Posted 8 hours ago Yes but surely it can not be going into the same book...what's the point of having two companies then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodie Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Betcha seems to be targeting the younger ones with their advertising. Will be separate books, but the odds are clearly set by the same Bookies as the fixed odds are the same! Maybe the young ones bet with Betcha for sports betting? Betcha is probably promoted as being sexier than the old TAB name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newmarket Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Both TAB and Betcha fixed odds are the same prices, so one must be doing it for the other. Entain stated they would not lay off any TAB staff for 2 yrs…. that date must be getting close so must be a few that go. I contacted Betcha last year to enquire about something, I am sure the guy said he worked at Ladbrooks, but not 100% sure. Makes sense, cut TAB staff in NZ, get Aussie staff to pick up slack. Have had Betcha call me a few times recently, offering tickets for events, never had offers from TAB ever in 40 yrs punting…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know that there were many staff that were sent packing not long after Entain took over! Petone NZ head office would probably be pretty empty. Most of the work would be getting done by Australians out if Ozzie by now, you would think. The Ozzies have taken over from the CEO of HRNZ, Trackside track interviewer, Dean Shannon as well as other Entain suits! Probably no worse decision makers than what we had over the past decade though? The TAB was sold out by McAnulty to Entain which personally believe was a poor decision medium term.

Nowornever Posted 4 hours ago Author Share Posted 4 hours ago As long as the Aussie guys keep doing the pricing. The gap between opening and closing odds is night and day. It is almost like the computer is doing it based on form or something. I have never seen it so good for the punters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
