puha 2,177 Report post Posted October 1, 2020 Interesting though the winners of the money I think 14 k were the Love Racing syndicate so guess us industry participants are paying them for a mediocre job and they are not even punting with the TAB?

Trump 2,741 Report post Posted October 1, 2020 He’s probably been kicked out of Boys Get Paid for his efforts!

chelseacol 2,488 Report post Posted October 1, 2020 Justifying this action on the basis it reduces revenue for the TAB is a crock. Firstly the participants probably pay more attention to the Hastings fields (in this case) than normal when they make their picks. A significant proportion will be following their picks via the TAB and betting on them. Secondly BGP has brought more turnover to the TAB than most other developments in recent years I would guess. I accept that doesn't justify a breach of law if there is one here. But for goodness sake let's not have anyone posting here talking about the $9k deductions foregone by the TAB Dissident, JJ Flash, Gruff and 2 others 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right about going to the BGP people , in reality if it's gambling outside the law it had to be stopped , I can imagine at some point it may have ballooned to quite serious amounts of money rather than the cost of a second hand Euro import in NZ that's when potential issues arise but just go to the guys and guage the reaction . I've not really looked into what they were doing as don't follow them but seems more a bit of fun than large scale illegal gambling . They have a lot of followers who love racing so let's hope they come back fine . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a lot of followers who love racing so let's hope they come back fine . It was $100 per person entry into a comp where you select a horse in each race at Hastings tomorrow. Points allocated and prize money then distributed to the three top points scorers. If there is a technical breach so be it and they need to comply. But I've seen large sums change hands at calcuttas at various venues, raffles, betting syndicates and sporting pick comps for years and years and no-one bats an eyelid. To shut down the FB group with thousands of members, go public to the Press and for the DIA to do all of this without contacting the Group .... beggars belief.
