Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]
This may not be the reason it is happening, but back when my mate was the harness racing bookmaker at the NZ TAB he told me a story about how the gallops guys at the TAB used to copy and past the Bet 365 odds (they were the first ones up back then), and how […]
And so it continues. Look at these ones. Great kicker for a fixed price multi for those in the know who got on early aren’t they? The mail is that if you want to find the punter knocking off the odds you might want to look down south to Victoria or even Tasmania. Connections with […]
The crazily over the odds TAB opening fixed prices on the trots are happening in Victoria too. Here are some examples from last night at Kilmore. Race 2 The Iron Duke had won 2 of its past 4 starts and run 3rd at another. It was unlucky when beaten from a bad draw last time […]
As we showed you at the Albion Park meeting during the week, there is something seriously suspicious going on at Tabcorp in relation to the fixed-price odds they are posting on the trots. Horses that should open in the betting as short priced favorites are being put up at prices markedly longer than they should […]
Hi Archie That TAB fixed odds ‘situation’ happened in other races at Albion Park on Tuesday as well. In race 5 the price setters put up $8 about the horse Novanta Rising, which ended up starting as the $1.30 favorite. It won of course won. In race 2 My Ultimate Eddie opened up at $8.50, […]
TAB fluctuations race 3 at Albion Park 16/7/2024 (from Dynamic Odds) Cougar Express was rated in the newspaper as a $3.50 chance to win the 3rd race at Albion Park on Tuesday. That price might well have been over the odds too, for the horse came into the race as a last start 15.3m winner […]
What you see is Tabcorp’s opening market for race 7 at Flemington on Saturday afternoon. Do the numbers. The TAB is betting 199%. What a disgrace. Punters can’t win at those odds. Why does anyone still bet with this mob at all?
It’s easy to see why Gillon McLachlan chose the Tabcorp CEO role over the Chairman’s job at Racing Victoria. Just take a look at the basic terms of his contract. LENGTH OF CONTRACT Unlimited. Gil has scored a never-ending gobstopper of a contract, a job for life with no fixed term. This is highly unusual […]
