Brodie Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Seriously, are we really meant to be taking seriously the ones that tip harness horses???? On the whole they are terrible, and feel that they are there to encourage the mug punters to follow their poor choices! The Trackside presenters really have no idea and should stick to their presenting without tipping anything, as most are useless! Absolute joke when they are showing horses that have been racing on grass tracks and then they tip them as a good thing when they are on all weather! Not hard to make money on harness racing, but you will not do it by listening to the ones, that continue to tip out horses when they just arent going to get you a collect!

Trackside doesn't promote them as expert tipsters like they push the expertise of the whale.Like i have said before,and everybody should already know,the whale tends to dumb down the casual punters as they rely on him to think for them when making punting decisions. Being a trackside tipster is a tricky thing. I'm not so sure your right when you say its easy to make money betting on nz harness.I think its getting harder. The number of punters is dwindling,and its the less successful who are giving it away.Leaving the more successful and knowledgable. Meaning its harder to find value. When households struggle to make ends meet as things have become,then spending is focused on the essentials needed just to survive,and punters who don't return a profit only choice is to cut back on the betting.That must be happening more and more these days.

Gammalite Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) G'day boys. How about some tipping Saturday then. I usually just bet Saturday afternoon gallops these days .and put picks in other sites for gallops comps. But am delighted the Addington trots are on to coincide this Easter Saturday. Let's have something so cafe and RP aren't having all the fun ? No doubt we probably won't have betting on Addington in Australia, as there are too many Aus meetings already , but not to be detered I'll still post a Easter Saturday Comp for the trotting fans. !!! 🏆 Edited April 4, 2023 by Gammalite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that there are punters and enthusiasts giving it away, due to the current economic climate. Personally not that hard to make good money if you put the time and effort in, however you are correct they do make it harder than it used to be due to restrictions and the blatantly BS anti money laundering $1k limit!!!!! These blatantly stupid policies that the NZ TAB have enforced is one of the major reasons they are having to outsource to this Entain outfit! Seriously the NZ TAB decision makers are deluded if they believe that their policies that they brought in are logical and to ensure that harness racing in NZ had a bright future! Certainly the jury is out about this Entain going the to be the Knight In Shining Armour for the racing industry in Nz, They are only going to be in it for themselves !

Should not be allowed with him tipping for the TAB and also getting income from his Whale Hotline!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure he would like soup? Craig I am sure is a good bloke but the fact that he picked all the winners on Jewels Day 50 years ago is a bit over rated isnt it? I dont keep a record of what he picks or collects but From watching his picks over the years he would surely be on the losing side of it? If People want to pay him for his tips on his hotline then all good but to be charging people on that and yet give them out for free and being paid by the TAB, just does not sit right! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
