Just ignore him and the negative crowd that pervade that site. Not a positive thing to say about anything to do with NZ racing. probably why only 4 or 5 post on his site.
I get shit on the other channel for rocking the boat occasionly,
BUT, I have been part of the Industry and will gauge results on these tracks,
more importantly as Berri says above, is horse numbers and attracting owners, outside the top trainers./ upping Min.Stakes
and putting the right people in charge, to, increase crowd numbers and entertainment value,
for both members and public racegoers, should be of prime importance.

Agree totally Baz and Shane,
I,ve run a couple of Syndicates with mates...SURE the fun aspect is there,
BUT, Unless you are @ the top end and in a big syndicate, (or lucky), the expenses far outweigh the income !
And the novelty soon wears off.

Yeah nah, I enjoy the race 1 & 2 F/F win bets (if come 2nd,3rd or 4th) you get your wager amount (under $30) as a bonus bet.
BUT..F/F win odds appear shrunk....would be an interesting exercise comparing them to winning tote prices. (don,t have time)
the fact you get a second chance (admittedly less wager amount) is quite appealing.

You have more chance of purchasing it from a Dairy as there are only a couple of T.A.B."s left in Auckland
off the subject a tad Moose BUT yeah I hate all these machines everywhere that you cant withdraw from.
Grumble , Grumble...sigh of the times I suppose...along with once a year pissed youngsters spoiling major race days.
BUT hey good to see good crowds returning ! more organisation needed...chuck em in the middle with a band

I better be careful with names here...I recon Peter Kelly and Keith Haub along with George Simon
(3 of the best IMHO) would have had trouble meeting those credentials !
They either have their man (as listed) so they can say they followed employment law to the letter
OR ... a lengthy employment process is in progress to Justify another inflated Suits Salary at Head Office.

call me paranoid...BUT...
NOW it seems the TAB play games with the odds...To ensure their winning balance sheet
( fixed, and advertised TAB odds plummet quickly to match closing fixed odds)
and yeah, they are playing games with make a deposit and receive a free bet offers
whilst trying to get the up to date contact info on every account holder and their punting activity

Bring back the Friday Flash and Dominion Friday lift-out...
Had all my bets sussed and ready for one trip down the TAB ...(after the 8.16 scratchings)
0800-10-20-30 and a human would answer the phone (well versed on all bet types) ...should any further bets be wanted during the day.
by the time you,ve hit the PDF drop down button and start studying, on this new site, They have jumped and you,ve missed ya bet.
I preferred the old site ...Having said that ...I enjoy the will pays for exotics

Yes...porky I've received 3 or 4 $30 bonus bets from the TAB in the past 3 months.
Ironically that's what got me started back in April. Bonus Bet $30 at Te Rapa on Shezallmine @ 12-1.
Of course the TAB don't lose...they deduct the $30 bonus Bet from any winnings.
I collected $18 off the Mighty Tiges win and for some unknown reason (i feel a warriors win coming tonight)...
something to watch anyway and I,m going to make the TAB pay (one way or another !) this weekend .
ANYWAY...TAB PROMO DEPARTMENT...Money back madness and bonus bets have been a success
(dream up other promo,s expand the portfolio) and don,t drop existing ones...some loyal customers are happy !
-
I get the odd bonus bet Baz... they dangle the carrot and I take the bait !
Had to deposit $50 today to get $30 bonus bet...have taken the tigers head to head to win $18 (once they have rescinded their kind gesture)
My son said don,t be a pussy...take em 12 and under and have a saver on Taumalolo to score a try @ $4.50.
we shall see...starting now.
(WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE BONUS BETS?... THE PROMO DEPT. HAVE TO EARN THEIR BICKIES SOMEHOW)

They are still running for peanuts...that hasn't improved one bit.
12 hours ago, tripple alliance said:Ohokaman points out the peanuts , well that's true , it wasn't so bad when fields were small , most got something but competing in big fields for those same peanuts can't be much fun .
Drop INFLATED WAGES and SACK a few non performers Winston...UP STAKES...Problem solved.
At least do something to save the Industry!...I VOTED FOR YA MATE !

23 hours ago, We're Doomed said:
So, does NZTR have any obligation to try and ensure owners get a racing opportunity for their horses? Is that part of their role?... paying $20,000 a year to keep them in work. Are those owners likely to stay in the game? If they give up and say "fuck racing" who is to blame?
Yeah we pulled the pin on ownership as a syndicate...too costly.
Must be Tax Write-offs or some other scheme available to retain so many owners in the game
Whats the inside oil ? LOL

WTF is FFPLC?
Why is the TAB trying to make betting so incredibly complex?
Is there anywhere I can find a glossary for all this alphabet soup.
M6TE AROHA Race 4FFWIN: 6, FFPLC: 490It is the new system by where, if you want to take a fixed odds place price early,(FF/PLC... to ensure pay-out and beat fluctuations and price drops )...Tab price still often pays more !BUT 6 months ago before all the wonderful new expensive changes...there was a logistical meeting and race numbering system that made sense to punters and operators alike and avoided delays.E.G from the example above today ...(in the past)...would have been
M6TE AROHA Race 4FFWIN: 604 ... (M6 R4), follwed by your horse number !SO Tauhei, NO...can,t help you mateM6TE AROHA Race 4FFPLC: 490I think the TAB now employ dementia patients to dream up their FF option numbers. -

....is the best thing to come out of the TAB Website since the $50,000,000 spent !
Been having a lot of fun with this promotion!

That can easily be achieved by just redistributing stakes, particularly some of these silly stakes up on Saturdays.
just a silly question Huey...I realise we must be waaay smaller than Oz in most aspects of the Industry, BUT
is that justification, and representative of the stakes difference?...and more importantly... how do admin. costs compare ?.
We seem to throw good money after bad and still await improvements. (I,m only a silly punter now, but have been involved in the industry previously)

15k min stakes would return owners to horses and trainers in Business
because you wouldn,t continually be dipping in the pocket to pay extras...vets, farriers etc,etc.
it would become fun and a social thing attracting youngsters and grow from there.
Oh Shit yeah , i remember Grey Way, On Show , No Show, Tono Bungay, Shivaree, Mop , Fraxy, Game,......
(that is off the top of me head)...don,t get me started.

Des Fredericks told Peter Early
Winston Peters could stop the levy the government take and return to the industry at the stroke of a pen.
all these bloody delaying tactics...proposed closures that will be argued out in court and cost the industry heaps more in suit wages.
stop using racing as a political football and put stakes up Winstone.
No Money Back Madness Promo this week?
