So instead of no longer having On Course Operators I would keep them on and train them to generate more income.

The secret to increasing turnover in a business is getting the customer to spend more when  they visit. We all get asked by the 15yo kid at McDonalds " would you like fries with that" or "would you to to upsize to a large meal" yet we never get asked at the Races.

eg.... If you went to have a bet lets say "$5.00 eah way on #'s 1 and 5 a trained operator might suggest you take a quinella or add a 3rd horse in a Boxed Trifecta or would you like to take a Treble etc etc.

These people have never been trained to sell.......WHY NOT

People go to the window with x dollars in their hand. They go to McDonald's with an eftpos card.  They don't have to fish around for more cash. When I think about it, we definitely are getting towards a cashless society. People are bitching about the end of cheques. I'm 73 and hardly written a cheque since the mid 90s. We really do need to move into the 21st century where technology is concerned.

Not as old as you but havent written a cheque for years either. Yes we have to move on with the technology, but what happens when you go home after a day at the races and the Mrs logs into Internet Banking and see's 10 and possiblly more  EFTPOS withdrawl transactions..... yikes.!!! 

Also could mean you could be spending beyond your means to try and make up for you losses....At least going with dollars in your pocket, then once its gone its gone..

easily solved mate - get rid of the Mrs if that is going to happen - or have your own bank account.

look what luke kemeys and boys get paid have done off the smell of an oily rag imagine if they had 72 million what they could do great things thats what they should be running things. swap the sausage rolls and savouries for craft beer and young talent

Completely agree , these are the type of go getters that needed to be involved and there are others that could be asked , but what do think the chances are that suits would want them stepping on their toes and showing them up for a complete lack of initiative .

Fuck! Do we have to wait another 5 years ??? :rcf-monkey: :rcf-poo:  :rcf-sad-10:

Probably not. Structural changes have obviously been made by NZTR and  HRNZ re venues. TAB staff reductions underway and revenues begin to accrue once racing and sports begin.
