TAB machines

Recommended Posts

There’s three TAB machines at Mayfield in Wairau Rd Auck and not one will accept legal tender , and if your lucky enough to get one to work ,you put your slip in and it either doesn’t read it or gives you something you don’t want. Is this a widespread issue?

Do the operators of TAB "real" machines have a union?      Seems like the TAB are replacing most of the operators on course with machines and dispensing with the operator.     Not a good look making people lose their jobs to a machine that cannot converse with the client.       Is an operators strike loosing on course race day?

This story is actually true.     Punter a week before new petty cash regulations were introduced collected roughly 2 thou and got a betting voucher.     Didn't use it till last Friday when he was told it was over 1 thou and couldn't be used without the mandatory passport, rates notice or whatever.     His bet was around 40 to 50 dollars.     Apart from the fact the money had been collected before the new Winston regulations and the bet only pensioner size anyway he was refused.     TAB, you are going the right way to losing an army of punters - so after a year don't bleat that profits have once again nosedived.

Another story from last Friday.    Client went to manual seller but was told his TAB account was invalid as the old dilapidated machines wouldn't accept it.    They tried another machine with same result.     After a couple of swear words (p.s. I don't have a TAB account :rcf-kiss-1:) he went to the TAB - Alex Park where a TAB is on course -  and their machine accepted his account immediately.     Simple answer I suppose, don't open a TAB account and don't bet in excess of a dollar each way :rcfe-cool:

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

Gruffy if you were'nt such a successful punter the TAB would allow you to have a account.

Just takes a little study Critter, Good day but could of been off the charts. Patience is the key, like Mad Mark says wait and pounce ...pity he never practiced what he preached :rcf-sad-7:
