Brodie Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Great that the NZ TAB brought back the “Head to Heads “ for harness!!! However, what is the point when you seem to be able to invest on them on your account???? Do not believe you can take them Or Power Plays at agencies, pub tabs or on course as there does not appear to be any OPTION NUMBERS!!!!!! It is pretty clear that the TAB is not interested in attracting punters money or they would be providing OPTION NUMBERS to enable punters to GAMBLE!!! If Brodie is wrong in what he says, I would be delighted to be proven that I am not on the money!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nowornever Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Because they get the pricing wrong so often it is too easy to beat the bookies on the head to heads so they will not let anyone on for decent money I have found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nowornever Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Also they would have to be careful letting any person on anonymously. Quite easy for a driver to just run up the fence and not get a run meanwhile his friend is cashing in on the easy money on the head to head.

So why are the gallopers headies treated differently?????? If you can not get decent money on, then they may as well wipe having them again!!!!!!

The odds are always in their favour and if they continue to drive punters away then harness will suffer bigtime. They need to either step up or open it up to competition from overseas, as their current performance is very poor. Nowornever is probably on the mark when he says that the bigger punters are pretty rare now! A big bet worth mentioning on Trackside seems to be $200 now! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the TAB and Harness NZ both run by amateurs. Customer service shocking. Get your act together TAB. There are so many things that could be improved, odds earlier one of the most important and easiest to do. The same horses racing week and week, and up North five or six starters. How hard can it be to set the odds up in Auckland? Do it 01 minutes. It's a joke my old mate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
