Hi Useless bettor
Yes I can see how it can be become addictive. Fortunately I am only a small punter one that Tabcorp rejected because I did not make a big enough turnover.
I have done a few automated systems in the past but was not confident in my selection systems to let it run without attendance even though I capped the bet account limit.
The advantage I find with a smartphones is I do not have to be home to bet, particularly Saturday arvo.
Smartphones/tablets are obviously where the tabs new customer base is.
