Happy Sunrise Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 No Methven! Seems like a more accessible competition for people though. Bonus the final is at Addington and not the gallops which is a minor advantage. Welcome to the 2019 TAB Kiwi Punters Championship - a brand new ONLINE competition to find New Zealand's best punter. Contested over 10 Heats on a mixture of domestic Thoroughbred, Harness and Greyhound meetings, the competition concludes with a Grand Final on 15 November. So put your hooves up, grab yourself a cuppa and punt from the comfort of your own couch. Be a hero in your own lunch box and throw $20 on the nose, or play it safe with a $20 place bet. With a total prize pool of over $150,000 on offer, have you got the legs to carry you to the finish line and be crowned New Zealand's best punter?

Brodie Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Are restricted punters allowed to enter?????? because at the moment it is impossible to get any semi reasonable bet on anything on account!!!!!! Good luck to everyone having a go but won’t be easy with the 3 codes included, as most people have a preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boys that won the $50k last year had no trouble getting a fixed odds bet on paying overs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You start with $200 and you have to spend a minimum of $20 per race You can offload the whole $200 on the first race and then all the winnings from that into the second etc. So it can amount to hundreds and thousands not just the $200. If they are not worried about breaking them, how come restrictions on many punters are so Harsh? Edited August 4, 2019 by Brodie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Rusty, I didn’t think you would get a reply! To be fair, they are Government employees who only have to answer to their bosses and not the public. They are only interested in receiving their pay and not interested in the good of racing at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am.not saying you are wrong, just saying I am unsure about that. The state services commission said they are not Govt employees. Comes back to that question as to who owns the TAB? If they were Govt employees they would be answerable to the public... and one could ask questions, and attempt to obtain information under the Official Information Act. Probably easier just using the Aussie betting agencies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean $200 hardly huge? I realise that $200 is buggerall so why am I restricted to far less than that Newmarket? The $200 can become a helluva lot more with winning bets! Are they going to allow punters in the KPC to be unrestricted or are the restricted punters still going to be restricted seem it is fixed odds????

Counter Punch Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Methven heat was well attended last year from memory. Shame it's gone. Heats at Methven on Cup Day and at The Mot on DG Jones day would sort them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
