You've won over 100 k from $50 multis more than once and they paid out plus sent you multi bets? That's amazing.

Tauhei Notts 1,403 Report post Posted March 23, 2021 Latest figures out show that the average, per adult, spend on gambling in the 2020 calendar year was Pokies $204, Lotto $160, Casino's $128 and TAB $80. It makes one wonder why we pay turkeys so much on the Racing Board, or whatever is is called this week. Those turkeys are gobbling our industry's funds. d.burrow - Joan, Pam Robson and chevy86 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by those figures, nobody gives a stuff about the odds of winning.... Baz (NZ) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they gambling or not? Can they not balance the book close to kick off and encourage investment and repeat investment?

If I take a multi and then repeat the bet with another horse the prices of the original horses are automatically reduced. Wouldn't this come under the Unfair Trading Act? It would be like going into a shop and purchasing an item, then buying another one of the same item but they put the price up of the next one just because it is YOU.

I can cope with that under the risk management framework smart bookies adopt. The bit thats the struggle is stopping you before you have even placed the bet with an offer of a bet limit thats ludicrous. Its an admission of defeat.

Maybe they could reduce the fixed odds takeout of 130-140% , the highest in the world, to a level that is lowest in the world to induce offshore/more customers. Not taking small bets from targeted customers with a 40% margin is laughable and the worst publicity they could endure.

They guarantee a profit with the 130%+ as long as the book is balanced,they never take a stand for or against any horse ,any team,the massive margin is more than enough ,they ensure they cannot lose firstly and any winnings are more related to turnover than a particular result Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
