But is it betting responsibly, would you spend others money so flippantly?

Would be far better if they had presenters on that actually knew what they were talking about!,

None of them show any ability for wagering soundly!

Get rid of them or is this chaos what the TAB/Entain want?

Does anyone know if our Out The Gate experts got their nose in front punting everyone's money for fun, I don't watch it.

looked likely tonight but I don't think I saw it through so not 100% sure

overall its seems highly unlikely

I've never understood why any wagering agency would have this type of promotion.

If the tipsters were successful then the TAB loses profit.  If the tipsters aren't successful and are promoted as "experts" then those viewing come to the conclusion they can't win!

Totally agree…

I just dont see who they are targeting, i just cant listen to them, its so cringy watching them tossing coins and throwing darts. They have drivers or trainers tip and a few, which is ok, but when the 3 of them start betting at any meeting, and take those bloody SRM… its crazy. 
Thank god we have a good trackside team for Friday night harness, think it is brilliant

Reality is that Trackside will get rid of them in the future!

None of them show any ability to pick winners and hard to understand who is giving them $ to punt on a Thursday night!

Questionable and repugnant that they are able to get any amount of bets on with the TAB and yet other punters are able to get very limited  amounts on!!

Just shows how unethical the NZ TAB has become!

Long overdue that the TAB starts treating punters equally!

Nobody to blame but yourself.

These guys have worked out how to bet free of restriction.

They are able to bet thousands on horses and dogs of other peoples money with very little knowledge and ability!

They advertise to bet responsibly and yet these amateurs are doing quite theopposite?

Last night they put over $4K on a dog at something like $2.60 and it won picked by Andy Cook!

After it won they acted like absolute Dickheads running around the studio!

Seriously the show is so cringey and not a great look for racing!!

I don't find it a bad look, I don't look at it and if it's only Cambridge with what it's offering at present I won't be watching it but Thursday twilight meetings start in the South now, maybe I won't watch that either🥸

Fair enough Mikey!

If it works for the TAB/Entain and it attracts new punters then more than happy go not be on the money!

Only watched it the last 2 Thursdays as was overseas for when it started but didnt miss much if this us what they now offer on a Thursday night.

Personally think it is crap and would be very surprised if it continued into 2027 as punters get turned off and punters stop giving them money to blow.

I would be surprised if the Friday night presenters were impressed by the Thursday nite Amateur clown night!

It's for the younger generation this programme, Betcha as a rule is to cater for the youngish, you get lots of sports programmes that you could call light entertainment, this is another, no one's got a more fucked up sense of humor than me but everything has  its proper place and  proper time, I like Greg O Connor presenting, no bullshit, just tell it as it is, just at present most racing as a rule is becoming a hard watch for me, betting on anything at present just don't excite me

Perhaps you could send us some the footage of you celebrating after one of your wins. If you manage to find a way to get a bet on.
