Chief Stipe Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 Opened up the TAB website and was surprised to see there were three races to be run at Stratford in the dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shad Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Interesting I looked at a first starter in a race in Japan about a fortnight ago, didn't back it worst luck, paid 16s tote but was over 100 fixed odds strangely enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NZRacing Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) Tough bugger this one starts 3 times in a day twice. One of the horses races on May 19th winner was Benson Boys form info says it actually won on the 12 May last year no win on 19th. Never seen before a runners formline showing obvious signs of a glitch like this. Edited April 24, 2021 by NZRacing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowornever Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Whale said on trackside on Friday night there was 70 million tons of new shell put on the Alexandra Park surface. Funny! I didn't see a new mountain appear in that area last week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen some funny things recently. I saw a horse paying around $10 on the tote and $30's on Fixed odds. I liked it regardless of the price but definitely jumped on the $30's. The Fixed odds price went out more (after the tote closed!) as did the tote price which ended up at $16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Winton runs were 2018, then 2019 etc. It is the year not the day, seems to be the case for older form lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZRacing Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Your right I was reading it wrong but $#%^ me they can put the exact date in for a trial but not an actual raceday. Whatever way you look at it the betting platform is a piece of crap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomates Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 To prove a point , that the NZTAB thinks we are all just a load of junked up gambling addicts , today they have gone from offering a bonus back if your horse runs 2/3/4th , to saying just back number 1 and if it runs 2/3/4th you will get a bonus bet . Don't worry about studying form or any of that other shit just gives us your money on number 1 and we will look after you . Their lack of understanding really does astound me , regularly now . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquaman Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 You know, the off loading of the NZTAB to an offshore provider cannot come fast enough. Complete amateurs to say the least. Exorbitant takeouts that are strangling punters leaving only the addicted still in the game. Idiots and parrots fronting the TV and calling the races. I find the mute button is a must if you do not want to be driven insane with the babble that comes out of trackside. I know i'm being ungenerous but i cannot help it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to win a bet, but proving to be right is just another sign of how close the industry is to imploding. I think it is about time we started recruiting new personnel. Let's start with professional fire fighters to douse the flames from a fallen industry & a large bird which emanates from Greek Mythology so we can rebuild from the ground up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
