Come on @Brodie !!  Be nice to those "other punters" afterall it was they that contributed to your millions of dollars of winnings!  I can see some hypocrisy here.

Chief, more hypocrisy when they advertise Bet Responsibly and yet the Out The Gate wagering is far from Betting Responsibly!

All I ask is that all punters are given equal opportunity as after all it is gambling business!

[Brodie]

The thing is if they are wanting to run a show like this to encourage wagering, then have people on that actually have enough ability to be able to make money!

for them to be talking about PROFITLAND is just not that clever, they should be making money most weeks with the way the TAB lets them offload as much as they like with no restrictions!

They might as well have on different drunks on each week wagering, would be just as successful and a helluva lot more fun for the viewers!

The minister in charge says it’s not. It’s the entertainment industry.

Not entertainment for all!

It definitely a gambling industry, and they should be taking the good with the bad as such!

Morally and ethically wrong that participants are treated differently!

How they get away with it is very hard to fathom in this day and age?

like i've said before,i think its ok and is entertaining enough to justify continuing.

I can see why it may frustrate some who liked the status quo.

but if you are trying to appeal to a new demographic then you have to try something that may work with that demographic.

What concerns me more is the way some of the harness horses they select perform.I've come to the conclusion watching their bets on harness,that its going to turn people off harness as their selections or their drivers underpeform so much,normally at cambridge of course. 

some of them simply go awful or gallop for no reason. Some of that is understandable as A White seems to like tipping trotters that gallop 4 times out of 5 at cambridge. He often says,they will win next time they trot all the way,after watching them gallop hopelessly as per normal. Some of the ones he tips are real head scratchers but the again hes having to tip on a poor cambridge product.

i've watched some of their bets and they often have said after the race,well that one just sat at the back and made its move too late. Well they say that because like anyone who else had backed some of their selections,thats what happens a lot.

so i don't think the hosts should be blamed much for there wins or losses. 

Yesterday a mccook tipped the favorite that they backed in  the last at oamaru,bettor go vinnie and it inexplicably galloped so much that every time he mentioned it,it was still in a gallop.each time he went trhrough the field in his commentary. Really people who are part of that betting syndicate would get the impression betting on the harness is not a good idea..Maybe they just have been having a bad run at the nz trots,but i don't think they've ever done well on harness so far.
