Newmarket Posted May 6, 2020 Posted May 6, 2020 At the time i could not understand why the TAB would fork out so much money for this. What did they gain, are they fuc%@n mad??? What has changed fixed odds, apart from a few more options, on a few more sports??? Where did they gain??? Jesus what a flop, put ya hands up those involved in this lemon. 3 1 Quote

I'm not a sports punter but the offering of several more options for sports betting was one of the obvious reasons for it, I'm not sure the majority of kiwi punters is sophisticated enough for more options (SLB 2.0 I think is a sports punter what are your thoughts on that?) and they absolutely destroyed the racing side of things in my opinion. 1 Quote
Huey Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 Think how bad the numbers would be on the website if they didn't offer bonus bets etc to entice punters to use it. 1 Quote
Rusty Posted May 10, 2020 Posted May 10, 2020 From a racing perspective there was not much wrong with the old website. In comparison to what we currently have, it was miles better. The only thing that needed to be added to the previous website, was the option of "cashing out" live bets, but even now with that option added, the odds offered on any "cash out" are so skinny they are not really a viable option (unless track conditions changed etc) anyway. 2 Quote
The Centaur Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 Its pretty well documented how terrible, illogical and badly thought out the whole platform venture has been. What doesn't seem to get attention is a call out of how the decision to go with the project came about. Who pushed for it and who authorized it. With that come questions about the whole way racing is managed. An army of board members, managers, consultants along with a trove of dummies. Not even a murmur from them of what went wrong? But hey racing just scored $72 million from the government so everything sweet now. 3 1 Quote
