Howdy all,

Anyone out there who has any experience with International All Sports (Darwin Sports Betting) and their BetaDiv & DiviPlus?
BetaDiv is supposed to match or beat a certains states TAB prices. DiviPlus is meant to return a higher result than any of the three australian TAB's. If this is correct why would you bother with betting with the TAB? Any comments appreciated

All my betting goes through IAS now that they are offering Divi+ on all race meetings. It gives a higher win dividend than all 3 TABs - so if the TAB divs for a winner were say 2.50, 2.60 and 2.80 then the Divi+ dividend will be around $2.85. BetaDiv operates on the place pools and on Greys + Trots and guarantees a better dividend than the NSW Tab.

As you say I cannot understand why anyone would place a win bet with the TAB anymore - I closed all my TAB accounts months ago. Maybe someone who still places win bets with the TAB can explain why????

Thanks for the reply becareful.
The Divi+ looks a great option for the horses. If your backing a horse on supertab and it wins, it may pay say $4.00 but there is nothing to say that it cant pay $10+ in other states if it is not backed there. Good way to prop up the odds.
Cheers

The only reason to bet with the TABs now is for the exotics and to find the best state place divi for place bettors.

cant explain from a win bettors viewpoint, but from a place bettors stance IAS has some deficiencies...
1. I believe there is a time limit for placing your bet, you cant bet in the last seconds before a race.
2. place bettors dont get the universal best price so you can do better if you spread it around.
3. the results are very slow to confirm and at night you can be waiting ages for the payout to be made.

but, on the plus side, you can look at your bets over previous days/weeks/ months - impossible at NSW and Unitab.

and they do respond to suggestions, unlike the TAB's :smile:

see ya
