Brodie Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 The Box Seat back on the screen last night. Always appreciate it when they discuss important issues that affects harness racing rather than watching races that have already been run. We all can watch replays anyway. Michael commented that he thought that Fixed Odds had stymied betting and tote pools were now very poor. He stated that he was restricted to winning $300 on fixed odds now on a Thursday night and doesnt now bother very often, and this is the biggest thing affecting Harness Racing! He stated that it is driving punters away and this flows on to non ownership etc. Michael you are totally correct that punters are being driven away and personally haven’t had a bet since the NZ TAB have considered that I could be a money launderer for collecting over $1k!! Harness Racing is struggling hugely at the moment and will continue to do so while decisions are being made to discourage punters! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is pitiful the state of gambling when a national betting agency restricts people to a pathetic few hundred dollars. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodie Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 Happy it is so pathetic it isn’t funny? They May as well just close the bookies down as they are going to have so few actually betting with them, as very few new punters coming thru and others just giving it away the NZ TAB is rudderless and this so-called new betting platform has made things no better at all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
