Wish they’d offer me something. Listening to a betcha ad the other day where punters are celebrating a losing result like it’s a winner cos they get bonus money back. Celebrating losing that really is ridiculous.

Betcha started out as if they were going to be more user friendly than the standard TAB site!

However they dont now appear to be heading in the right direction in several respects!

When you receive advice from them that they no longer are going to offer any promotions to you just because you arent a losing punter then that is less than average.

Yes they are there to make money for the industry I appreciate that, however when their advice to you is not correct, you can tell that they are not travelling well!!!!!!

You might have overdone it. Had winning accounts and kept promos and had winning accounts and got the email saying no more. If you're going to try and milk them they'll cut them off.

Dont use their promo’s at all except if they text and offer to match deposits, and why wouldnt you?

anyway don’t need their free money, just ask to be treated fairly and equally as other punters!

They take all bets from some punters what they want, and yet other punters get treated very unfairly!

Darn so we won’t hear about the Broadster dancing in his lounge as a dog hits front as of August. 

I wouldnt put money in the pool so that their people can bet irresponsibly in contrast to the TAB’s slogan, Bet  Responsibly!

If it was their personal money they were spending then they would not be gambling like they do on the show!

And yet, others get limited to net what I consider a miserley amount?

The hypocrisy is appalling!

Lol been watching the show tonight and seriously it is not a great look.

The presenters are really acting like clowns, high fiving, rubbing screens and stalking around the studio lol.

They have just had a $18k return which is a good return but put it into perspective when you look at what the TAB allows them to wager, whereas other punters are restricted to miserly amounts?
It is great that they think they are helping the industry attract punters but if any individual punter was allowed to wager like they do on BOAY, you would be called a compulsive gambler.

They are only winning off backing greyhounds which is not hard being allowed to wager unlimited amounts.

Even if the pool goes to $40k then you are only doubling your money, so wouldnt consider it that great?

anyway it is what it is!!

Yes Brodie you are right on the money,in saying they are only winning off backing greyhounds...but I suggest Andy (usual Addington Tipster) and Blake (Greyhound Enthusiast Nationwide) use a degree of knowledge & skill to put together their winning same race multis,where the majority of their biggest collects come from.

Not like putting $18k to win on a $2 shot.

Tonight Started with $20,545 * had $18,000 collect from 4 leg greyhound multi *Payout $33,000 😆

Have no problem with having a Trackside program on a Thursday night to try and get new punters and get some interest in racing, in fact a good idea!

But just how many punters when they get a collect, high five their partners, stomp around the room yahooing??

I would not think it is not that common from grown up people and especially surprising when it is not even their money that they are playing with?

They are allowed to bet any amount on any type of bet they like by the TAB, and  yet other punters who have been loyal for decades, do not get any of these favours?

Does anyone actually believe that this is ethically or morally correct?

They should not be allowed to show this type of favouritism to employees of the TAB!!

At the end of the day if people want to put money into the pot to see if they can get into PROFITLAND, then so be it, so it is a bit of interest for them on a Thursday night!

However I would suggest you would make be far better off by investing yourself!
