Brodie Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago (edited) Things are pretty dire for racing if they believe that $1000 on a horse @ $2.25 is a big bet! Another bet alerted to us as a big bet $2000 at $1.50 so they make a massive $1000? Are they really Serious that they think punters putting on one or two thousand on hotshots are BIG BETS???? NO WONDER Brodie struggles to get money on when they think paying out $1k extra on a $2k bet is a worrying big bet? I say pathetic if this is what the TAB says is big bets ffs! $1120 @ $1.80 on the dogs now has just been alerted to us! Surely they are taking the piss? Edited 13 hours ago by Brodie Quote
Brodie Posted 12 hours ago Author Posted 12 hours ago I can see why they let some people away with putting on amounts more than others! Why would anyone put on $2k @ 1.35 on fugitive with the Telfer horse drawn 1? Just pure gambling and not worth the risk! TAB are the winners with these types of punters as there is no way anyone betting like they are for the bets socalled large bet alert, can be a long term winner! Purely trying to buy money and it wont work if you are a serious punter. Quote
Gammalite Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago geeez... if you've got a spare 2000 to waste on a trotting punt , you might as well not bet at all anyway. you already have 2000 that you can do plenty of stuff with. why risk it on a harness horse? . that stupidity defies belief really. would be madness IMO. probably better to spend 100. have a bit of fun . if it loses who cares. and not break yourself another $1900 🤣.

Nothing wrong with putting $2k on a harness horse, but the bets that they have put up as big bets are very poorly picked! You can not make money medium term betting on these shorties to WIN! Thing is it is you can make money on harness racing but not betting like these punters are tonight! lol The thing is I am not sure why they are saying these are big bets as they just are not! If they consider 1 or 2k is large in this day and age, racing is in major trouble! What I suggest is the TAB actually allow all punters on for reasonable amounts and turnover will increase significantly! Flawed business plan coming from the TAB if they want the business to survive.
