Brodie Posted Tuesday at 03:27 AM Posted Tuesday at 03:27 AM Is anyone getting good size wagering on sports betting IN PLAY? I was thinking that the TAB were wanting punters to offload on sports betting but are they accepting reasonable size bets or not? Genuine question? Quote
Nowornever Posted Tuesday at 10:03 AM Posted Tuesday at 10:03 AM No winning punters are getting any decent sized bets on. Put as much on as you like if you are considered no threat to their bottom line. 1 Quote
mikeynz Posted Tuesday at 10:15 AM Posted Tuesday at 10:15 AM The exclusion of Betfair has probably killed off many large, serious punters, they offered a different form of betting that should have been kept on, I think I can still access my Betfair account, last time I tried I could but there was nothing you could wager on, there are some noveltys you can still bet on. 1 Quote

Too true…. Pointless with Betcha & Tab betting Inplay, just when you think the game is turning and you can make some 💰… option suspended and stays closed for ages, crazy. Betfair was good that it never got suspended, unless of course close to end of game. Thing that pisses me off most, some sports they offer betting on, they dont give you all options to bet on, its like a casino covering up 5 numbers on a roulette wheel… Quote

They put over a hundred betting options up for punters to wager in including in play! You would think that the Bookies would be therefore wanting punters to bet on these options, would you not? Anyway it doesnt seem that they want punters to wager anything but low amounts, so things are not looking great for NZ punters or racing in this country. Personally dont think that selling out to Entain will end up being a great decision despite what people think. 1 Quote
mikeynz Posted yesterday at 12:14 AM Posted yesterday at 12:14 AM (edited) Most of the bets are gimmick bets, the ones that multis include, they do actually have the punters promise for some sports/options but not sure if they take the big 20000 or 50000 head to head bets in tennis, cricket rugby and the likes, Betfair would but only if your bet is matched, that was smart as all betfair took was a commission.

The question is, does anyone know if the Bookies are accepting large sports bets from anyone? It does appear that they just arent, which is hard to fathom if they want to be making increased profits? when they announce on Trackside that $1k at 1.40 is worthy of promoting as a Big Bet alert then you would have to question how much they are accepting?

Brodie Posted 3 hours ago Author Posted 3 hours ago (edited) It just shows you how the TAB treats punters differently? So the Out The Gate presenters are allowed a bet on to net $50,000!! Yet other punters are restricted to netting a few hundred??? Appalling! Edited 3 hours ago by Brodie Quote
Brodie Posted 1 hour ago Author Posted 1 hour ago (edited) You would have to wonder how long the TAB is going to continue with OTG? Watched almost all of it tonight for the first time, anyone that hasnt watched it before would be horrified surely? Grown men acting like teenagers, stomping around the office shaking hands like kids when they get a collect! They were not betting responsibly at all despite the TAB and Betcha advertising the point! The wagering was all over the place and they started with near $20k and lost the lot!!! They had $4k and $2.5k win bets on greyhounds that the TAB accepted despite other punters not being allowed to wager a couple of hundred???? Nothing personal against any of the 4 presenters, however they must be getting told to act like idiots in front of the camera for some reason, as it is hard to believe that they would be acting like this away from the camera? Is there really anyone that thinks that this OTG is really painting racing in NZ in a good light???? If it is such a great thing for racing, then why doesnt Australia have such a show?? Go back to having one professional presenter on a Thursday night that knows what they are talking about, and let the punters offload to increase turnover and profit! Edited 1 hour ago by Brodie Quote
