Brodie Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) Good initiative the TAB offering the money back when you back a horse to win and it runs a place!!! Yes I am sure it suits many but the maximum amount is only $30!!!!! I appreciate it is to attract people to keep punting and they know that what is returned to the punter will be offloaded again anyway! They are doing this to keep punters and to try and keep turnover up HOWEVER this generosity is not always being shown!!!!!! I am not sure how many this affects at the moment but I do know from someone else as well the NZ TAB has now reduced the net amounts being able To be won to certain punters to pathetic amounts on their accounts, that makes it not worth the effort!!! Limits of $150 and $300 are now being applied and even if the offers that the TAB give are not accepted by the punters, they slash the dividend of the horse anyway!!! Racing in NZ is totally stuffed if this is the way that the NZ TAB thinks is the way to increase turnover on racing!!! Have other contributors been subjected to this from the TAB or heard of the same thing? $150 in this day and age is utter BS!!!!

Brodie Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) Thaddeus Taylor, what a blatantly stupid comment from him! So Mr Taylor thinks that $150 max net collect is fair and reasonable nowadays and is a surefire way of retaining the punters?? Total waste of time even bothering betting on accounts with the NZ TAB if that is what they are now offering up!! The NZ TAB is going from bad to worse and needs a total makeover if the decisions are being made from the top! You can hardly blame punters from trying to bet overseas and If this is what we are going to get going forward, from these so-called Bookmakers, then good luck to them improving the sport! As I have said previously, they do not give a damn about racing in NZ, all they want is sports betting and naive punters wagering on pathetic races from overseas! Seriously they need to change their name to something other than BOOKMAKERS, as they are nothing like Bookmakers nowadays! The thing is in Australia as far as I am aware, there was a policy that punters are able to net a minimum of $1000 per bet, but this lot in NZ are going to kill the racing industry'!!!!!!!!

Rusty Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Brodie, those eight sentences in your post hit the nail on the head, and what the NZ TAB are doing (or not doing) is just putting another nail into the coffin. There could not possibly be a NZ punter that would disagree with anything you said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the galah Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Gee,they must be pretty good if that's what they restrict them too. I did a multi last week that stood to return I think it was over 2 million, that they restricted to $200,000. And I thought that was being a bit tough. Needless to say they shouldn't have worried about restricting me as i was back at work this week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodie Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) The NZ TAB never ceases to amaze in how they want to harm the industry big time! If they don’t want people punting on Fixed Odds Harness then just wipe them. How on earth are they allowed to be this prejudicial against some and not others? Racing is stuffed as there are people in executive positions making decisions that Are plainly stupid and unfair!

As you are well aware Ranga, Brodie stands for fairness and common sense. The NZ TAB is not standing for this with their pathetic punter restrictions, and as I have stated previously, it affects them a helluva lot more financially than it does to me. They have seriously lost the plot, and are going to lose more than just the punters! Ranga, do you believe that punters should be restricted to being only able to net $150 on their account????

the galah Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Was talking to a workmate who is ever the optimist,. He has a system for sports betting which he hopes one day will enable him to retire off the winnings. Unfortunately for him his system isn't working too good and he has to regularly top up his tab account. Still he's ever the optimist. Anyway he texted me last week to get on the all stars at $7 in the head to head against the silver ferns. After reading an article about the silver ferns up coming game I took his advice and put a small investment at the points differential, as I interpreted the article to mean the all stars were a mens team. It seems my workmate had read the same article and interpreted it the same way. Turned out the all stars were another nz womens team and the men were playing the silver ferns the next night (which the men won). Anyway back to the point of this post. When I asked my workmate next day if he had backed the all stars at $7,he said yes, but the tab had only accepted a $29 bet,when he had wanted to put on $100. He said he was rather flabbergasted ,given he normally loses,that he was a restricted punter. Still he was thankful they had saved him money. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a bit miserable, seems strange to restrict someone over a $700 liability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodie Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 The NZ TAB has seriously lost the plot when the comes to Fixed Odds! When they will only let punters net $150 or less at times, how can you believe that they are accepting these so-called larger bets that are announced on Trackside?
