I'm sure the close connections were on the winner

Now your making sense

146 mill at present on Betfair, for the Cricket, the Rugby test just finished got 175000, an AFL game was about 350000, and a NRL match in Canberra will finish about 80000, be interesting to know how much the TAB took in total for the ABs game but we may never know.

As it stands Betfair has a pool of 145 million dollars in matched bets on the result of the England India Test match, so far up to day 3, this is where the large punters hangout, interestingly there is basically nothing on any of the other options, add to that the cashout option, now like it or not large punters in NZ and there are some ain't just going to automatically migrate back to TAB nz, same applies to Racing, most of the bets on the TAB are under 50 bucks which for most of us who are recreational punters and that's fine but will the large punters who have been betting on Sportsbet or Betfair automatically going to migrate to TAB NZ, they may if TAB play fair but if they don't what will large punters do......simple, give up. And yes Betfair should definitely stay, you will satisfy large punters appetite, Head to Head large bets that TAB NZ probably won't accept maybe this exclusion will just chase them away.

Not sure if you can blame the Petone crowd, probably more those flash tie wearing fellas you see in the birdcage at Ellersle, Winnies mates, its all about them.

Just had a look, NRL same game multi is up to 50 back.

The betting options for live games ain't so bad but with the 365 platform , you could back corners, goals, points in rugby/league, games in tennis etc etc on the TAB site but get the up to the second notifications without being stuck to the screen, I don't think anywhere online can do better. I'm surprised that we can't access the platform at all, you didn't even need to log in but I say they've taken access off just to pass us off. It must affect wagering, live sport is the way it is now.

But the platform for live sport information was best online, the go to place, with info now slower or not at all I think wagering on many live option will fall, using the info but wagering on our site, now what, time will tell.

One issue that hasn't been suggested regarding tracks is is simply getter wetter at times than normal, often it's suggested Oamaru/Timaru are good winter tracks, it's also not uncommon for droughts in those areas, but recently not the case. As regards to Ashburton, they have been Xtra days recently, it simply struggles to handle the workload.

I can see sports betting taking a hit, due to the fact that Bet365s live in play platform is no longer accessible, that was the go to for up to the second, info, and then you may have punted on TAB, live betting on sports is the way forward but without live info it must affect wagering, that is of course subject to whether ENTAIN can match what 365 have, no one has yet. Can't comment on the NRL multi bonus one but nothing would suprise me, you must have competition.

They are so far in the shit, will need a big digger to dig this lot out.

Havnt found any site that notifys in play events like 365 on sport, as yet.

That's odd looking shit.

Betway is another that's closed the sports betting, I play around there now and then, play a few slots, the odd game of live blackjack, I hope they get a licence to carry on here, bet 365 was the first place I played online casino, live betting, lost too much dosh,was a novelty, told them I wanted a break and instead of a break they closed me down, was a bit bitter and twisted for a while, in reality I can take it or leave it when it comes to most gambling these days like many other things in life. Gambling and me haven't always been a good mix, these days I can take it or leave it, these days the biggest issue/addiction confronting society worldwide is the internet, if the government could geo block a lot of the crap that shows up on Facebook that would be good, so much fake shit and so much stuff bad for young people.

Bet 365, can no longer access the live in play platform, great for all up to date sports scores, FU Winston and your self centered flash suit wearing mates And no I didn't bet with them but it was a great platform for scores, stats up to the second.
