Yep- walked into a tab in Sydney's south the week of round 3 in the NRL , so a fortnight ago. Try to place a bet of $3000 on an NRL team. The lady says I'm sorry you can only have $50 on that, I said I beg your pardon, she says yep orders from above. I said so - $50 max bet? Yep she says , ok I will write another 59 tickets out for the same bet to get the same result, is that ok? She says yeah sort of I think so- yes do it that way.
Had a mate I bet with on the same sport, ring up to place 2k on the same game on our account and the operator says no. He says what do u mean no? No I said it's too much, he then gave her a mouth full saying it was our money and we could do what the hell we wanted with it, she gave in and placed the bet.
