Pools were small took an age to ramp up and we at the TAB found it tied up too many punters betting money. We like more races , quickfire and wall to wall ...sprint races use less time etc Free bets etc Quaddies much preferred. Some people remember doubles fondly but a relic of a past era ! TAB For Ever, so you do work for the TAB now! 1 1 Quote

We at the TAB…. explains a bit mate. But your right, people got sick of waiting all night for sometimes poor returns. You guys at TAB should try it again, put up a decent pool and make it terminating, you might be surprised. Just some feedback for the TAB, i no longer take quaddies with the TAB on harness, the pools are piss poor and i am sick of getting a small slice, while the rest of pool goes to TABs coffers, should be terminating too. Far better taking quads betcha, at least you get paid fixed odds pay Quote
Newmarket Posted September 10 Author Posted September 10 Hey TAB FOR EVER…. What are the clowns at TAB doing…. i used to get plenty of matched deposits, until we were no longer allowed to bet overseas, matched deposits and other offers stopped immediately. How crazy, did you think i would transfer my Aus spend to TAB? Well it didnt, in fact i have not had a bet with TAB since, they can get stuffed. Still turnover same with Betcha, but i am betting far less, same with most others. Should have gone all out offering punters, instead of retreating Quote

Brodie Posted 18 hours ago Posted 18 hours ago Watched a bit of this “ Out the Gate” for the first time! Are they serious? What an absolute bunch of plonkers!! Just pathetic show really can not understand Trackside putting this CRAP on!! Not funny and has to go surely? 3 fellahs that have no idea about harness racing whatsoever, who ever thought this was going to work is deluded! Quote

Trying to cater for the younger audience but it is cringe to most. I do get a laugh out of some of their bets they put on that have absolutely no show. It is ironic that these guys are betting thousands and some of us can't even get $100 on. 1 Quote
sarge Posted 16 hours ago Posted 16 hours ago Opening up Fridays and Saturdays restrictions from winning a max of $2k to $5k per bet helps. Still disappointed they simply don’t go 7 days a week with this limit - do they take a bath on these days? Quote

They act like right amateur punters who just show absolutely no ability to be able to bet wisely! Why is anyone giving them $ to just chuck here or there and they are all over the show and wondering if they have been drinking, as they act like they have been! Have they ever made a profit since they have been going? Quote
mikeynz Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago I've only watched Out The Gate for about 10 minutes 3 weeks ago, no interest to me, but if and I say if it attracts younger followers sobeit but the older I'm getting the more I'm watching less and less racing on TV, maybe I'm getting racingd out, only so much one can take, Friday nights is good, but many times now I'm only watching specific races, even betting, it's just not exciting me at present, the sports in play platform for live betting has turned me off there too, it's so out of touch from other sites who now since the ban are out of sight.

Thursday nights I thought was mainly for harness and greyhounds to a lesser degree and they are finishing up! Very confused as to what it is all about, appears to be trying to attract anyone who wants to bet on anything and who diesnt give a damn about whether they make money or not! I appreciate it is now Betcha sponsoring the show which is still TAB Entain! Would be interesting to see how many existing Trackside Presenters actually thinks this CLOWN SHOW is a great look and going go attract and retain punters? Hopefully it doesn’t last very long as from my humble opinion it is just 3 supposedly grown up men behaving like they are drunk snd dont give a rats! Anyway maybe some people think that it is comic relief on a Thursday night? Quote
Spatchcock Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago The starting pot from viewers has steadily increased from $8,000 to $17,000 across the course of the six or so weeks so clearly it is resonating with people. Old curmudgeons set in their ways will never, ever like something like this. But Betcha is not targetted at them, is it. 1 Quote

But Betcha is not targetted at them, is it. curmudgeons. i had to look that up to be sure it meant what i thought.- bad tempered,usually old. That seems to be how you view many on here who post.i think thats its a bit harsh myself. actually i like the new format,it adds a bit of colour. i like the other trackside presenters,they all are good,but thursday nights racing could do with a bit of colour. As you say,they seem to be getting punter particaption,which indicates many tune in and follow them. i'm not sure how long the show will last,maybe the novelty might wear off. I think it adds something,even if that something is for viewers who prefer the old format,to follow their bets and think, they may be a bit all over the place with their betting..
