ivanthegreat 1,123 Report post Posted November 5, 2020 I watched a recorded " GET ON " the next day and they were all over the 4 horses involved. I thought hell if you were in a bit of a rush you could easily have got $1 of it but $30 now that's either Balls OR stupidity. 99.9% of the time the later. Good onya mate from all of us !!

Eclipsed 250 Report post Posted November 5, 2020 At our very nearby local a punter boxed 7 costing $840 and got the $38k - thought that this was a good effort until this story popped up. Great publicity for the Bishopdale - has been one of ChCh’s best TAB’s since it was first set up some 20 years ago.

What does that have to do with good customer service? Credit where credit is due. It sounds like a well run friendly TAB. I read on here on all the slagging of some shit TABS/PUBS so it good to see that is a decent one around. chelseacol 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike, like many people you don't understand the concept of turnover. Somebody running a TAB doesn't get any pleasure from seeing their customers lose. They want their customers to win so they will reinvest. If someone loses all their money they eventually stop punting. The TAB makes its money every time someone has a bet, so they want them to bet over and over again. The TAB is happy to see most punters regularly winning as they clip the ticket every time the bet goes on. if a string of roughies come in and you hear someone say "the TAB has cleaned up there" just remind them that they don't know what they are talking about and it is totally the opposite. I am talking about the tote of course, fixed odds are slightly different, but even there they need their customers to be getting some money back.

Trump 2,741 Report post Posted November 8, 2020 And unlike Pokies that returns about 14% of each dollar back to the player, who keeps putting that 14% back thru. As a friend of mine who was Gen Manager of one of Australia’s big Casino’s told me, “ With Pokies, in the end, we get all the money”. napier 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
