Stop being too greedy!
Reduce the takeout % to a more reasonable level (ideally 5-10% with win/place pools at the lower end of this range).
Give realistic rebates to punters that bet via Internet as it costs the TAB ************ all to process these bets in comparison to Telephone or branch betting. This could reduce the commission (see previous point) for serious punters whilst retaining higher commissions for the phone/branch betters.
Display and pay divs to nearest CENT - only round the final payout if paying at an agency to the nearest 5c (account bets should be paid to the cent).
Start offering more competitive sports odds.
Start up an exchange!
I expect all these will happen about the same time that pigs evolve into flying creatures!
