The TAB Form Analyst Ain’t Worth 2 Cents – But it Could Be Value
Could be value this horse. It won by 8 lengths last start. It was $1.65 the win at the time the form guide was written. Value? Hey mate, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
The Fast Disappearing TAB
When I left Brisbane a few years ago there were 17 stand alone TAB agencies on the northside of the city. They were in New Farm, Strathpine, Zillmere, Stafford Heights, Chermside (x2), Nundah, Eagle Junction, Albion, Aspley, Enoggera, Stafford, Everton Park, Albany Creek, Hamilton, Arana Hills and Boondall. Now there are just 3, in Hamilton, Stafford […]
Too Little, Too Late, and Totally Ballsed Up – Tabcorp Gives Us a Masterclass on How to Blow a License to Print Money Up
You might remember that we wrote a few weeks ago about how Entain – Ladbrokes and Neds – had pulled off the coup of the century and broken up the TAB’s monopoly by doing a deal that gives them access to promoting their superior punting products in the NSW pubs. One part of the deal […]
The WA TAB Sale Debacle – And Archie’s Simple Answer to Fix It
It seems barely possible to believe, but just days after newcomer to the gambling market BetR was given the nod to buy the Western Australian TAB, and hours before the deal was due to be announced, the sale has fallen over, all because of the predictable issue in the world – the name. BetR wanted […]
Tabcorp Gets It’s Pants Pulled Down By a Maroon Again – And Spits the Dummy – What a Super Try
First Kevin Seymour, now Dean Shannon (an old St Paul’s boy from Redcliffe may I add). Tabcorp cannot resist the might of Queenslanders. Especially ones that employ up to 1000 or more locals. We were told Tabcorp’s head office would be in QLD. That’s what they said when they conned their way into the retail […]
The Dishonesty of Foreign Owned Bookmaker Tabcorp – Send Them All to Manus Island I Say
Tabcorp tells us that they are the truly Australian corporate bookmaker. Don’t send your money off-shore they say. Get those grubby foreign owned companies out of here on the first boat. I guess Tabcorp will have to get on it with them. A fortnight ago the Vanguard Group became a substantial shareholder in Tabcorp. Vanguard […]
A Missive From Out Mate Suds About the New TAB App
Archie Why are the underlined stats taken from the form on the new TAB app randomly dumped at bizarre intervals as you go down the page? For example, why aren’t sire and dam together? Why isn’t the win strike rate next to the place? How come Heavy track form isn’t listed with form on the […]
Lights Go Out, Walls Come Tumbling Down – Got Any Shares in Tabcorp? – Sell, Sell, Sell
Entain breaks Tabcorp monopoly on NSW pubs and clubs Entain, one of the world’s largest wagering companies, has struck a blow against local rival Tabcorp by clinching a sponsorship and promotion deal for its Ladbrokes and Neds brands in 1800 pubs and clubs across NSW. While Tabcorp’s TAB brand will maintain its retail betting outlets […]
SOS! – The Faux Fair Play Coalition Boat Has Sunk
The ‘Aussie Fair Play Coalition’ was a crock of crap from the start. It is not really a coalition at all. Tabcorp own, run and fund it 100 percent. The so called coalition partners are the pubs and clubs who came on board because they receive commissions from bets through their pub TAB terminals, and […]
It’s a Turd, It’s a Pain, It’s the New TAB App!
The new TAB app is supposed to be the best thing since sliced cheese, according to Tabcorp anyway. It is really just a dog’s breakfast. They can’t even remember who some of the jockeys are. What hope have they got of the app not crashing on Cup day? Only one. The fact that the poor […]
