Ludwig Posted March 29, 2022 Posted March 29, 2022 Just wondering if there's any NZ race caller who hasn't yet called the Palmy trots.? Quote
JTeaz Posted March 29, 2022 Posted March 29, 2022 More so ask the question when was the last time they had a caller on track that called the races for trackside Quote

Ludwig Posted March 29, 2022 Author Posted March 29, 2022 I tuned in to see him offering his expert tips. I have no problem with him being a tipster for meetings in his own region, but for Manawatu races.! We the poor viewer are being treated like mugs, and today I get a letter from Sky telling me my bill is going up .! Quote

Well sky have to pay for the premier league, when spark give up will probably put charges up again Quote
Brodie Posted March 29, 2022 Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) Personally doesnt worry me if the commentator is on course or not, as long as the call is clear and accurate. It is very clear from tote pools that punters are just not betting into the tote like they used to and we do not know how much is being bet on FIXED ODDS per race. Why doesnt the TAB advise us a s to the amount wagered on fixed each race? They bring out early the fixed odds for the bigger stakes races when they really are not worth having a go on! We are lucky they do bring out Fixed Odds the day before the meeting! To encourage punters to offload earlier and increase turnover They would be better to start with more attractive odds and adjust from there! The way they currently do it seems odd and they lengthen out far too late for most! Edited March 29, 2022 by Brodie 1 Quote

I always remember when you went to put a bet on it would display the maximun bet one could put on, like if you were betting on a 30 to 1 shot maximum bet might be $765 or whatever. Quote
eljay Posted March 30, 2022 Posted March 30, 2022 Aaron back at Palmy tomorrow. I think Trackside do this deliberately to piss off the punters. 1 Quote
JTeaz Posted March 30, 2022 Posted March 30, 2022 Aaron will be calling palmy but not on course Quote

He wouldnt want to be catching the deadly Covid, so probably best that he did it under lock and key away from people ! We appreciate that you would love some meetings but it is their loss that you arent getting the gigs! 1 Quote
