    Haven't watched this yet , and not sure I should , my TV might be at a high risk of getting something solid thrown at it .
    How can a man with so little of substance to say have so much say ?

    Todays Sunday Surge a $4 chance boosted to $7.  Fair enough, but a maximum bet of $10.  What is this 1975?  And these guys want a monopoly.

    More likely to be Ardalio or Zormella as they're paying $41. With pathetic promise you are allowed to win $2000.
    How ridiculous that they come up with a 3.5 million dollar race, spend all this money and effort promoting it as New Zealand's biggest race and then limit a punter to a bet of $50.

    Bimbo got a reaction from Akcam in Entain write off   
    I think they’re going to be doing a lot more write downs in the future.  I stopped off at a Working Men's Club on Friday night to put some money into the TAB account so I could get the $25 bonus bet back on the first race on Champions Day.  The carpark was full.  There were heaps of people outside smoking.  I didn’t think that many people smoked these days.  Inside there were people everywhere drinking, eating, playing snooker, people on the pokies.  Not one person in the TAB section.  The Auckland trots, Wanganui dogs and Moonee Valley were all on.

    You might say people bet on their phones these days, but surely they’d still want to watch these races if they’d had a bet.  We’re just a nation of mostly non punters these days.  Monopoly won't help much,  Entain should have sent someone over to see what was happening in the TABs as part of its due diligence.  They’ve bought into a duffer.

    It was a great win and he did well to beat SP prices, but it was a bit of a lotto type win.  You aren't going to be restricted from buying lotto tickets and same for seven leg multis.

    $30 into over $776k and it looks like he got better than SP in every race except one where he matched it.

    Ohoka, If I recall correctly, you previously mentioned that you were born in The Uk and your family immigrated to NZ when you were young?

    These klansmen only see what they want to see. They see the Uber drivers and dairy owners, but they can't see the doctors and nurses. Wouldn't bother engaging with someone who thinks people are of low quality because of where they were born,
    And there's nothing wrong with being an Uber driver or a dairy owner either.
