Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
World renowned racing academic Dr Georgia Whiting, whose privately published study of the methods of the world’s most successful gamblers Naked Zen and the Punt: Finding Winners in the Full Monty is in hot demand around the globe, has broken new ground this week by joining the tipping team of the seminal racing tome the Winning […]
Don’t you love the racing website The Straight quoting “Australia’s biggest fixed odds punter” who “is now believed to be the nation’s highest turnover punter on fixed odds markets” without naming the person they are making these unsupported claims about? https://thestraight.com.au/the-trajectory-is-concerning-australias-biggest-fixed-odds-punter-exploring-international-opportunities/ It’s a bit like us citing “Australia’s biggest rooter” who “is now believed to […]
We have been writing for some time now about what appears to be an ongoing rort with the TAB fixed odds prices. Our contention has been that an insider at the TAB involved in setting the opening markets for the Albion Park trots has been deliberately putting up horses at inflated odds so that someone […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/qld/IJB18052505.mp4 Serious questions need to be asked about race 5 at Marburg on the 18th of May. Scrubby, drawn in gate 2, had not won a race since August 2023 and had been beaten by an aggregate margin of 247.1 meters at its previous five starts. This horse was backed from $81.00 into $18.00 with […]
Sadly we can’t agree with The Digger’s contention that the NT Racing Commission and Bet Nation weren’t playing fair when they voided three customers bets and shut their accounts down (see previous story). Our view is that the opposite is true, and it was the punter/s who weren’t playing fair. Two of the three accounts […]
Story by The Digger The Northern Territory Racing and Wagering Commission has once again sided with a licensed bookmaker, ruling in favour of Amused Australia Pty Ltd (BetNation) over three disputed customer accounts. Complainants Ms E, Mrs Z, and Mr O accused BetNation of unfairly withholding combined winnings of more than $25,000, including an individual […]
By guest columnist Bernard from Bowen Early market hunters have been smashed by a sudden and silent shift from TAB, which has now pulled prices on bush and back-end meetings until raceday morning — a move that’s left both punters and rival corporates fuming. This isn’t just a tweak — it’s a hand grenade lobbed […]
Race 1 The winner Iknowyou was backed from $3.10 into $2.20. There was good money for the 3rd horse Trapeze Flyer, backed from $10.00 into $5.00, and the 4th placegetter Smart Colour which firmed from $11.00 into $4.00. Race 2 Winner Potestas landed some nice bets when backed from $15.00 into $6.5. It was the […]
If you like a bet then this discussion on Wolfden about when prices go up and when you can get on is well worth a listen. The delay in when the TAB markets are being posted is a focus.
Remember our article yesterday about the winner who lost, the bloke who had $2500 on a dead-heat winner at the Bunbury trots and was paid a dividend almost $500 less than his stake? Well some stories have happy endings. Yesterday afternoon, some hours after our article was published, Betr contacted the punter and offered to […]
