NOTICE TO BOAY'ers: Major Update Coming ×
Bit Of A Yarn

Tab website


the galah

Surely they could do an upgrade without forcing you to log in again.  You don't get any warning either on your phone.

Although they have done some better contrast colour changes on a smart phone navigation has got worse - menu tabs etc.  I suppose and other good thing is they must have some money to change things for no reason at all.

what do you mean update?  do you mean the refresh? I used the website today and was pleasantly suprised but I had been using firefox and on tabs advice switched to chrome, cause of the buffering. are you using chrome? If not try switching to that.

Phone or app I hate so couldnt say and self service ( bangs head) but I actually got to say It worked great for me today, they are not C***S today, (best i can do at the moment brodie!) 

I only used it for the $20 bonus bet ( springfield mason $1.90) what a steal! $18.00 taking that out for a dozen rheineck $17.99, Thanks TAB, If you empty your account they will keep sending them about once a month, was $10 5/6 on those bets, and now Im getting $20 (once)

Someone told me a while back keep emptying your account, and it seems to work

But everyone else I know uses their phone, and they HATE it! so I hope the TAB are seriously working on this as people are walking away faster than they are signing up with these intro offers

Aveross Spitfire is not running this week so you got a bit of time to get it sorted chap!

The odds are still the worst thing about the website.

It was interesting watching the tote vs F.odds, was happy to get $7.50 for breath of life and chucked the balance on braeview kelly with the winsurance for 1st 3, I know 7 & under should be 2 plc dividends but cant see where it says that, so backed breath of life hoping it paid first 3, teletext used to tell you lol!

Just to make brodies day, last bonus went on a korean video game team at $1.80 lol!

They were offering $1.30, $4.50 draw, $8.50 for a soccer match us major leauge at 2nd half 2 - 0,

They can offer that on sport but not harness racing head to head?

Page 636 or 626?

lol! it would come up NTD on win plc page,but results wise if you didint have great reception it would miss half the letters and digits so you have to wait like 3 rounds about 12 mins to fill in the blanks!  so in comparison?? but harness racing was thriving on the Auckland trots (friday yay!!) and lose it at the more lucrative NZ MET (sat). then came super 12 and skip forward to present day! (just shakes head reminisces then cries)

Or you get the wrong page by a single digit and press it down or up and then wait for it to slowly go through all the numbers before finally reaching your page number.

Not much difference between telextext and a 60+ million dollar website.😂

If you looked at the win pool on the teletext, you could subtract around 16.5 % (TAB helpdesk wouldnt give you the exact takeout even though they used to print it at the back of the calender book they used to send out) and then divide it by the win dividend and it would tell you how much money was roughly wagered on the win,

Then you could tell early on in the day when a significant wager went on, aroung 16.6416 some maths nerdess worked out for me, cause $2 in pool but 2 horses paying $0.80 cents $1.60 cause only pay out rounded down to 10 cents

Biggest sneakies uses to be on Neil Bradys runners especially `watch me trot`, dont see many trotters win twice at the same meeting even over 3200m,  I like yummy milkshakes too, from Neil to Nigel some things still linger!

Not much use now with fixed odds, would be good if they included total money fixed and tote for each horse, why hide it, they brag with the big bets, it would only encourage astute punters if they thought they spotted a sly sneaky! and increase the pools but they not only seem to be risk adverse they are also profit adverse? 

I could never get an answer as to why they showed the win pool without the takeout, They said `does it matter?` YES! TAB it does, its misleading!

Minor stuff compared to now, People reminisce about how things like phones and computers have just revolutionized most businesses, TAB well.. no words need to be spoken

Id get into Marty McFLys DELOREAN and back to the Introduction of three trebles per meeting, Introduce % betting , press pause and then grant myself $1Million salary like those other Greedy, Lazy, Fat,Greasy Bastards from Petone!

Pfft... this new update look with the TAB's website is like putting lipstick on a pig.

Looking through the fields for Addington tonight, and the muppets are still letting the punters down. 

I find something that Mr Blair Nathan Orange is steering with his magical hands, yet by looking at the website (on my cellphone) I can't see how well the horse goes fresh.

Yet I can see it's grass track stats! I don't give a rats about grass track stats when horses are lining up at Addington! Unless of course the bloody thing is going to take a shortcut. But then it will just get disqualified. 

How is it the gallops can have details of "fresh" (and also 2nd up form from memory), when the harness code doesn't have that? Oh that's right, they are the code that is the dumb, stupid cousin. Before this dog of a website was introduced, harness used to have fresh form stats. 

And before anybody says, "oh it's easy, all the information is all there, all you need to do is click on extended form, or go to hrnz.co.nz etc etc", NO. No, no, no, no, no. You guys don't get it. One shouldn't have to. The key stats (such as racing in a fresh state), are exactly that, key. So they should be there, straight away, easily viewable and not having to go deep sea fishing to retrieve it. 

And yes, I am in a bad mood, tired and angry.

I dont use phone, but thats a good point, more relevant than grass lol!  Someone needs to fix that up. Thats something that anybody could see is logical, someone farked up there rusty! (deep breaths brother!) we know how you fiery reds get! lol

Phones and remotes go flyin at the end of races not before you have even put the bet on, and both expensive to replace!

This might be the omen bet now, good luck!

Have a big multi on the All Star $1.20 hotpots tonight or you could take a first 4 of the all the Purdon runners in one race and be part of the smallest first 4 dividend in the history of racing.

That will cheer you up.

No attention to detail but how can one be surprised.
