    No point engaging with politicians. National campaigned on taxing offshore gambling providers and then endorsed the monopoly instead. They’ll tell you anything to get your vote and then do whatever they want.

    Does sound like overkill, but they're not really General Managers.  General managers usually have staff reporting to them, are responsible for financials and all kinds of other things.  These guys would just get the title to make them sound and feel important and justify a higher salary.  Don't forget that consultant that flies over from Perth to join in on the fun.  I'll never forget the time they had her on The Straight.  She talked for hours and said nothing.  What a mess.

    If I missed the second leg would do a double.  If the third leg comes unstick, then a big win bet in the last leg to get out!!  😀

    They don't like that kind of thing. Ties the money up over three hours or so. They prefer you churn funds over all six races. Bit like someone playing a poker machine. Once a week $10 punters aren't really the target. Personally I would struggle to get one or two and would see $10 better spent on a pint

    I just stopped betting. Might have the occasional bet, but it’s very occasional now. I don’t like the dishonest practices. They pay no tax in New Zealand and say you can trust them to be competitive as they give you the same odds as Australian punters. In Australia they tell punters the odds are lower than what they would be but they have to pay tax. Don’t like supporting that kind of BS.

    If you had finished your reply after the first two sentences everyone would have appreciated you telling us what had happened. As it is you had to ruin that by continuing.

    They were useful about twenty years ago, but any edge is now gone.  I read an American book I found in an Onehunga bookshop about them a long time ago.  It was quite easy to put together a map using comments from a few back copies of Best Bets or Turf Digest and nobody talked about them so I presume not many were doing them.   Like every other edge I've ever found, plenty of others found it a little later and that was that.
