THEY ARE AT IT AGAIN

Munsie and his mates at the Sky racing channels, are at it again with the "big" bets.
Did you know that you can have 50 grand a place on a horse at Rockhampton? Apparently a punter had the bet with Tabcorp on a horse called Legal Ties which actually won the first race. The odds on 1.20 chance ran third in a 6 horse field.
Later according to Glen Munsie, another phantom punter had $130,000 on a horse. Don't recall which one or where, because I found it all such bullshite!.
A mate of mine who worked for my dad at the track for 40 years and has always been fascinated with bookie percentages, told me that in a race last week, the actual opening percentage put up by the Tab fixed odds genii, was 92%. Trouble is, when a mate of his wanted $200 on one of the horses, he couldn't get on, and half an hour later, with not a bet written, the percentage had lengthened to 136% as every horses price was wound back.
They, along with the Corps, are a disgrace. They bar you if you win, and encourage you if you are a mug, like Waterhouse-William Hill did with Sydney real Estate Agent John Mcgrath who allegedly owed them $16,000,000, by giving you credit and letting you on for whatever you want.
I have never bet with either or any of those organisations, and never will. And although I haven't bet with them for a while, if you are punting in Perth, then the Punta boys and the on course bookies in Perth are the people who deserve your custom. Not those other leeches, who urge you to bet responsibly, unless, of course, you are a loser.

They on 28 you have Munsie repearing the exact same shart. So NSW racing becomes almost a no go. Its a shame because the Lizzy girl from the paddock can tip a winner and I dont mind Duf.
28 only becomes viable when we get the last 4 from Ascot.

If i was him i would take legal avenues to get out. Urge people to bet responsibily but then extend credit to 16m, you have to wonder really.

Didn't mind this anecdote read the other day.
Punter: My goodness I had a terrible day today, lost 7 out of 7 races, lost 8 out of 8 on the footy, and 6 out of 6 on the soccer. I don't know what I am going to do.
Bookmaker: Well there's a hockey game on tonight.
Punter: I don't know anything about hockey.

The way it's going win takeout rates of around 20% and novelty takeouts of about 30% are steadily approaching. Some novelty takeout rates on a few bet types are already 25%. A quarter of the pool.
Tabcorp has two main initiatives 1. Bet on more races and 2. Look at any opportunity to increase takeout rates.
