It looks like the TAB are now using my betting as a tool to help them change the odds. I couldn't get $250 on at 1.21 (fixed place) just then; the bet was rejected, then the odds changed to 1.18 straight after and I put a bet through and it was accepted.

Not long it seems. I was under the impression the TAB didn't have the same policies as the UK bookies. Check this out:

And this, when trying to place a $100 bet, click Submit Bet and get a notice saying "account currently accessed"




umm what..?

All the bookies are licensed under the NT legislation. They all play by the same rules and they all use the rules to their advantage.

As I said I have been down the path you are taking already and the profit potential is just not worth the work.

If they ever change the laws to force them to take a minimum size bet (like $1000) then I will be jumping back onto this as quick as possible. It was easy money at the odds they were offering. But if the rules do change I suspect the odds we currently get won't be available anymore.

Good Luck with it Pat but I think your available options for this are closing very quickly.

Pat, were I on your shoes I would be drafting a rather scathing email attaching the screen prints you have & asking w t f is going on.

That said knowing my impatience levels I would probably already have burnt all bridges with a not so subtle phone call.

Knocking back $30win bets on 5/2 chances...what a brave new world we live in

All good, account back to normal. They called me - they were just monitoring where the 'smart money' was. Plus I have a new account with that other Tweed Heads group now. Back in the game.

By the way, TAB told me over the phone they aren't licensed under the NT. They have different legislation (NSW/VIC).
