Brodie Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Just read an article on HRNZ site written by Garrick Knight. One of the new owners of Never Mind who won first up for Trent Yesberg was restricted on his account to $88 @ $2.70 to collect $237 and so a net collect of $150! Thr owner states that he thought it was pretty stupid, which of course it is, as he is probably not previously a restricted punter going by that comment! Not sure how much the owner wanted to put on his horse, were the Bookies aware of the punter being the owner of the horse or is there now a TAB policy on accounts of only being able to net the pathetic amount of $150? If this is the TAB policy, then there is nothing more certain that more punters are just not going to bother with this BS! Are there punters out there still being able to net larger amounts on their accounts or is everyone finding the same thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know someone who hasn't been restricted.. They normally are only talking in the hundreds ,not thousands, except for multi's. Last week I know they put on a 8 horse multi for a $20,000 return and the tab accepted that. Unfortunately only 6 came in and got $0. This is someone who is a platinum tier punter who spends the bulk of that on harness. They obviously view some punters as being more of a threat than others.

There must be more to it than that. Didn't the TAB turnover 4 million on the cricket? So how could they restrict someone to a 237 dollar collect? Sorry, I just can't believe it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The $150 amount has been mentioned many times , but you can often get more closer to closing of the race! $150 is just pathetic in this day and age, and they want to increase turnover?????

The unfair treatment of some and the favourable treatment of others! Are these bets they state actually true or are they porkies???? If they are true then they are being taken from losing Bettors known to the TAB! I do see a helluva lot of bets supposedly taken by the TAB that are large, that are not worth the effort or risk, so I can see why the TAB take them! The new norm for restricted punters of $150 is just a blatant load of BS and the TAB are going to haemorrhage big time and racing is going to feel it! When an owner can only get to net $150 it is farcicAl and if someone comes on here and tells me that they are getting heaps on then I can guarantee you that they are known losing punters. This crap with the punters card that comes in 2 weeks is just going to drive more punters away, without doubt!!!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
