Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Suspicious activity has been detected on Alex’s Premium Bet account. He had backed a few winners, and wants to collect. Premium Bet won’t let him. Before Alex can make withdrawal they want to see two forms of ID, one showing his current address, even though his identity has already been verified. Alex has to hand […]
The feedback we received from the story we published earlier in the week about the TAB’s wording of the bonus offer was mixed, with some readers believing we were correct in our interpretation of the offer and others saying we were a bloody idiot who misunderstood what it said. That the verdict weas split only […]

Some people with big mouths and small brains will try to tell you that you can’t get on for a decent bet these days, because the corporate bookies won’t let you. Don’t believe them. You can get set for plenty if you know how, and are prepared to put a bit of work into doing […]
I’ve been following the trots for half a century, and never in all that time have I ever seen a betting market anything like what the one in race 5 at Cowra yesterday. $6.50 the field.

Bookies have a long way to travel to Betoota, and expenses are high. But they’re no cheaper for punters either, and they don’t have the benefit of claiming the exes as business deductions on their tax. So there is no excuse for the bookmakers at Betoota to be setting their markets at 175% like they […]
Bluebet have adopted the Betr brand name for their newly merged business, but I reckon they have made a mistake. A far more fitting name would be Unders. What else do you call a bookie that bets $1.20 about Kyle Feldt scoring a try anytime in the Storm v Cowboys game tonight, when other bookies […]
