Chief Stipe Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Why does it take so long for TAB NZ to post fixed odds for the next days races? Yet they have posted FO for the big OZ meets tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KickintheKods Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 They have copied and pasted the Oz bookmakers odds, so no effort for them there, but consistently they do not post the NZ next day odds until after 4.00pm the day before. Why you may well ask. My belief is that until they have eaten four pies for morning smoko and then get back to the Petone office after a long lunch and ten pints, paid for by the punter, they are too blotto to be able to work their computer mouse and go to sleep, setting the alarm for two minutes to four, just before afternoon drinks in the cafeteria. At four o'clock....up they go. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed that the odds were set by a committee of 4 and each one had to sign off on them. So if they all eat their pies at different times it could be 24 hours from start to finish.

aquaman Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I think they wait for Sportsbet to frame a market for them, hence the delay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangatira Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 It is terribly inconsistent. 0800 number often not on the money when I inquire about opening times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Stipe Posted January 6, 2023 Author Share Posted January 6, 2023 Geez what's with suspending the odds at Ruakaka? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
