Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Tabcorp as we currently know it is soon to be no more. The hapless Directors and management of the company are bailing out of racing and running for the shelter of our clip the ticket helper, aka Lotto and Keno. Lotto’s a low cost, high yield, and a guaranteed big earn that even a moron […]
One of those rare things happened at the Bunbury Trots yesterday, a triple dead heat. It wasn’t for first place though, it was for fourth. The triple dead heat happened in race 2 when My Ultimate Joe, Nellie Babe and Go Widgie (sounds like a marital romp in the sack using pet names doesn’t) crossed […]
John Messara and Peter V’Landy are like Alfie Langer and Kevvie. They are a team. Individual players who are great mates, and even better as a combo on the field. This is the go. Tabcorp knocked back a $3.5 billion takeover bid because its board if full of jumped up yuppie fools with big tranches […]
The brilliance of the TAB never ceases to amaze. Today at Tauranga in New Zealand their form guides have Kozzi Asano claiming four kilograms. It would be a good trick. He outrode his claim a year ago. Adjust your handicaps punters. And get rid of the biggest one of all. The TAB.

Of course they are not. The Warwick Farm meeting was transferred to Canterbury earlier in the week. Tabcorp – the company that […]
Ever heard of false advertising? There is no place dividend in four horse races. Tabcorp are geniuses aren’t they? The sooner the company is sold the better.

So what is Tabcorp’s solution to the critical problem they face by losing market share, revenue and money? That’s easy. Just gouge your rapidly falling base of customers for more. Don’t grow the company. Don’t improve your digital product. Don’t be innovative or dynamic. Just increase the percentages of the markets you bet, and reduce […]
Tabcorp has released its half-year results today, and they are dreadful. Year on year wagering revenue has collapsed, falling by $126 million. Profits have plunged from $132 million to $43 million.
