TAB

You all might have noticed the TAB branding up on the site.

We did a bunch of stuff with TAB last year (remember the Biggest Collect?) and they're keen to do more this year. They've got some new folks on board and they're bloody enthusiastic about us, which is neat.

They're keen to engage with the local game too, which spins my wheels anyway, and they're going to put odds out for the Auckland City vs Phoenix game, which I will for sure put a punt on.

There's also this, which looks cool if you're an EPL nerd: http://tipping.premierleaguepass.com/

Quick question for you though, who has a TAB account and do you use it regularly?

I have an account and use it regularly. Never huge money-wise but make bets between $5 and $20 very regularly.

Welcome TAB, good to have you on board!

I had one. But don't think I ever got it verified in a store,  then I forgot the password.

Yes have TAB account and  made money on C/Cup game.

Yip - Have an account. Huge fan of the biggest collect (and Totori) last year.

Have an account.  use it rarely.  Generally pop in or punt when in the pub rather than use my account.

What HN said.

I've got an account somewhere. I think I stopped using it when I had to go into a branch with my driver's licence to get validated.

Should sort that out. In fact pretty keen to punt on Auckland City vs Phoenix, so there's some momentum...

Yep I have an account but only make small bets on football and rugby

What do you class as small bets? I'm just curious.

I've had my account for fifteen years.  Back when I owned shares in harness racers I used to bet often but not in large amounts.

I have an account but its balance is zero, has been for ages. But reading thread has just reminded me 1) I have an account and 2) it's a way to watch lower league football online so I'll deposit funds this weekend. I use it mainly for football betting ($5 bets) but sometimes when I feel silly I'll have a bet on the horses/dogs (typically a dollar or so each way and the odd quinella/trifecta).

Funny story about TAB. My old man is a bit of a punter on the horses so I was showing him how easy it is to bet using the interwebs. I picked a meeting, race and three nags at random for a boxed trifecta and the bloody thing came in. Didn't pay alot, $60 or so from memory, but needless to say the old man was pretty impressed with just how easy it was!

Free money!

I haven't had a punt of any variety in about 5 years. Used to love a wee dabble at the TAB but got tired of losing so gave up!

I have an account, and regularly use it to donate money to NZ Sports funding (aka losing)

My childhood was wrecked by a parent with compulsive gambling issues, so I'm going to just have to be grumpy about this.

sometimes bet against Middlesbrough when Im low on coffee money.($5) only.

Only put money in when they offer free money back. For example, bet $10 on the abs and we'll give you $10 free + the winnings. 

As somebody who writes for the TAB, I don't have an account but I love the promotions and advertising they've got going, get amongst it as it might keep me in a job!

Nice one nufc_nz.  +1

That's the most mature and empathetic post you've made.

Does buying a Lotto ticket count?

Have account and use it sporadically. In bursts I spend a bit (multiple small bets) then go off it for a while. Just topped up 50 bucks - prompted with the beat the bookie comp. Yes I'm a sucker for simple marketing.

I have an account, use it maybe 3 or 4 times a month.  Mostly $5-$10 bets.

Have a TAB account and use it for my weekend multis. But do all my nix home game punts on the pub terminals. 

I have a TAB account for cup days. Otherwise dont use it, and dont like the way gambling is pushed.

Why is this in the Phoenix thread, it isnt related ??

Man I love me a good raffle. Ever since I was nine and figured out that I had enough money to buy the entire book of tickets at the school fair and automatically win an all blacks jersey. Somebody did not think that through and was outsmarted by a nine year old. Winning

I've got one but use an alternative site since there isn't a fee for depositing into it.
