Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The price setter at the TAB was up to their old tricks in the Be Good Johnny Sprint at Albion Park on Saturday night. Wasa Heatseeker is a real good horse who had won 3 from 4 since coming to QLD, and in his win two starts back had run a super fast mile in […]
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 […]
See how the Australian TAB had race 1 in New Zealand scheduled to run after race 2 at Te Aroha? It would have been a good trick. The only NZ races held that day were the ones at Te Aroha, and the first race definitely jumped before the second. I saw it with my own […]
The TAB is a joke. I received the unsolicited promo offer from the bums this week in my email inbox. DEPOSIT AND RECEIVE DOUBLE the email shouted in big font. DEPOSIT AND WE’LL DOUBLE IT IN BONUS BETS UP TO $100 it then said in smaller font. * Terms and conditions apply it then whispered […]
It doesn’t seem that the TAB fixed odds price setting on the Albion Park trots has improved any since we last drew the huge overs being bet in the opening markets to your attention. Yesterday in race 7 the last start winner against almost an identical field Targaryen opened up at $7.00 with the TAB. […]
What can you say about the TAB outage at the start of spring? Four things I reckon. Gillon the Great has turned into Gillon the Grape in world record time. The outfit he leads is Friar Tucked. This was just a warm-up run for the inevitable meltdown on Cup day. And Tabcorp should change its […]
Methinks punter Peter Lawrence is the last person who should be whining and moaning about TAB rorts. After all, Lawrence is Robbie Waterhouse’s man on the NSW north coast, and a close associate of Sally Snow. He wasn’t complaining when Sally was inflating the TAB odds for his crew during the hour of power then […]
Tabcorp’s share price has been in freefall since it announced a $1.4 billion annual loss a week ago, and just when you thought it couldn’t get any lower, it has. When Tabcorp demerged from what is know known as the Lotteries Corporation (The Lott) shares were $1.00 each, valuing the company at $2.28 billion. At […]
So much for Gillon McLachlan the messiah. He has been in the big chair at Tabcorp for less than a month and already the company’s share price has plummeted to an all time low. Currently priced at 45.5 cents, the value of Tabcorp shares – and therefore the company’s equity – has been stripped by […]
In October 2022 Tabcorp – in a move intended to increase its currently miserable penetration in the under 35’s punting demographic – paid $32.8 million to buy 20% of the privately owned fantasy sports/social betting company Dabble, valuing that company as worth $164 million. Since then it has paid an additional $2.8 million to increase […]
