What is really going on? Are they real Bookies!

[Brodie]

Questions need to be asked!

Are the Bookies under strict instructions now to not let anyone win anything except a few hundred?

Have the TAB now adopted the approach to not let NZ punters bet even a reasonable amount and are wanting to piss the punters of harness racing off,  so they don’t bother anymore?

Have you noticed that you just can not get a reasonable wager on?

I believe they are just riding out time as the TAB Bookies are certainly not wanting to uphold the turnover in NZ!

Just not worth  the time and effort anymore.

RIP, NZ harness

Unless they upgrade their sports betting platform they ain't going to grow income there either, Brodie as for harness if it all turns to custard the guys who are milking it at the moment and some are, (small fields, big stakes, low turnover) well they will have to re-evaluate their careers.

Things are very dire if the TAB have not got enough money to be able to pay out pathetic amounts that they have adopted now.

TAB under Entain has progressively got worse for many  of the loyal NZ punters!

13k on Franco Ankara more than reasonable

So they are prepared to take $13k or $40k from some punters and yet other punters can not get $200 on??

Seriously flawed business practice that will backfire on them big time once the money dries up!

Mad not to take the historically easy money while keeping the known threats suppressed.

In Hei Hei we lock our doors to keep burglars at bay. Sense still common amongst the impoverished and the TAB.
