Happy Sunrise Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 This was his comment to the TAB after trying to get a bet on and being limited for Sunday's trot. I can add my 2 cents worth to the debate or should that be my 60 cents worth... I previously tried to back a horse each way , just 20 each way but was limited with that bet too. I do ok punting but I am not like these TAB big punters that are shown on TV before a race getting thousands on. I was very rarely limited to maximum stakes before lock down but it seems a weekly occurrence to me these days. I just wanted ten on the multi, chucked in 5 without looking at the maximum stake! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodie Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Lol how on earth the NZ TAB thinks it is even Acceptable to offer punters 60 cents or all of $1.88 as a wager? I thought Phil Holden said that he was driving turnover?? Happy you must now be on their restricted punters list 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure I could write a book and outdo the one below, though, it would be the shortest book in history with a cure for an addiction. 'To stop gambling, just join the NZ TAB' Problem solved. ?

mikeynz Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 When I use to bet on the TAB sometimes I hoped that they would have restricted me,not from max stake but restricting me from losing any more lol,I say when I use to bet,ain't bothered for a couple of months but I see I have a 20 buck bonus so I will sort something out ,they must still love me even though I hate a lot of what they are doing, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangatira Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) in my experience the previous stock standard offer of deposit $50 for a $30 bonus bet has been replaced by deposit $100 for a $50 bonus bet since the resumption from lockdown not every week but more often than not Edited July 9, 2020 by Rangatira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens then if you place the bet on a betting terminal at the local pub?. They would have no idea who was placing the bet I would think.

Last week I got the Deposit $30 and get a $20 bonus bet. I love it. Deposit $30 and it becomes a TAB liability look for a good bet. Use the $20 bonus bet. Most times I get a win. Even if I don't I take the $30 back out and wait for the next incentive to have a free bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen the latter minimise the odds without knowing who you are. I guess that is what is motivating them to get rid of the pub operator terminal. Have watched some punters place bets through their account on the phone but suddenly nip up to do it through the operator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've long given up betting on the NZ TAB regularly. "You know the odds - beat them elsewhere"! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure now, I wasnt listening too hard as the studio presentation is less than average now. It was mentioned in a series of bets on something! Thing is that $100 shouldnt really deserve a mention! The thing is that other nets far larger than $100 are never mentioned lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listening to Matt Peden is an eye opener. 25 ew bets on Hayden's Meddle lol he says. We bet more than that years ago as school boys.

Dont think they have a clue as to what is Going on and what is being not accepted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
