Mintsports has learned a lesson the hard way about the importance of corporate bookmakers taking great care in drafting their terms and conditions of use by punters. The bookie, like most, has a term of use preventing punters from using automated ‘bots’ to place their bets. In their case it reads: “10.4 We reserve our […]
Reports out of the Riverina from yesterday’s Albury meeting are the betting ring was colder than the Mawson research station in Antarctica, and twice as cold again. Bookies were said to be turning blue on their stands, and punters hands were so frozen that the satchel swingers needs a crowbar to prise the money for […]

Betr are saying that they are moving their bookmaking license from the Northern Territory to Tasmania to “support the company’s objective of operating from a jurisdiction that aligns with its long-term strategic, governance and responsible gambling priorities”. If you believe it you’re as silly as a wheel, even sillier than the Betr spin doctors who […]
Betting pre-post with the TAB is a very dangerous game. Unders are almost every bets middle name. Here below are the prices on the TAB that Racenet was spruiking in the lead up to the race. Value extraordinaire they were. Not. The TAB early prices are in bold. The SP is next to it. Yeah […]
A former Melbourne businessman who sued a bookmaker after losing more than $400,000 in a drunken two-hour betting spree now owns a string of online gambling sites being criticised by punters for what they consider are “unfair” terms and conditions.
