<p>If anyone is interested in following a good punter for free on facebook and or twitter or his $1 app check out bad man tipster. Been pretty much only does football games does a $25 to $1000 challenge that takes about 11 bets over a couple of weeks. Hit 2/2 challegnes in July. Just hit his first one this month. (This isn't spam just if you are interested) Think his page has about 60k followers as there are a couple of fakes. My suggestions if based in aussie find one with a good sign up bonus max if out if you can and don't touch your bet only the bonus (read fine print as many make you bet yours first) . </p>

I still use the TAB, mainly because it was convenient in NZ to be able to shoot down and get money out of my account etc. As someone mentioned earlier, the odds are worse than the overseas sites because they are required to give a certain percentage of money waged on a given sport to the national governing body of that sport. NZ American football gets about 90k a year from them, so it's not chump change. <br><br>
The TAB are a bit shit and their live betting is really clunky. If some sort of scoring event hapoens, the system basically shits itself and takes 5 minutes before the bookies give out live odds again. Compare that to bet365 which is seamless, and has an enormous amount of options and sports, whereas the TAB runs a limited amount. <br><br>
I still use the TAB over here because it's one of the few sports betting sites not blocked by the government. I had an account with sportsbet Australia and they closed my account because I was using it in Thailand and it was against their rules. I now can't get my $200 back until I have had a whole heap of shit signed by a notary, so I'll either have to pay through the nose to do it in BKK or wait til my next trip home and sort it out. <br><br>
I'd recommend paddypower as a good overseas agency. They also do novelty beds which are always worth a punt - elections, royal baby named, snow in London at christmas. You can basically bet on anything through them. They also refund money on events where the outcome has been decided by shitty refereeing decisions (The Wales v Aussie 2011 RWC game, that Packers NFL game with the dubious last minute touchdown etc) -
<p>Well that run came to an abrupt halt!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Did a bit of betting on olympic events this week, mainly 7s plus a bit of hockey and hardly anything has come off - most of it at odds in the 1.20 to 1.50 range too. Betting on 7s is worse than T20.....like a lottery with very limited time for a team to turn around from a costly mistake.</p> -

<p>Just don't try and win with Paddy Power, or any European bookie in general as you won't be allowed to. And most of the Aussie ones are now owned by the Euros so x2.</p> -
<p>If you have consistant wins and keep upping your stake they will cut you off. My friend was doing it with lay betting on horses and live sport betting. When he first did it with lay horse betting he went and chucked multiple bets of $100 each on he quickly learnt they tell you that your betting is to efficent for their business cash you out and send you packing. From what he said you need to keep under a certain bet amount to stay under the radar. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I assume thats what they are saying</p> -

<p>As a non gambler, this is what annoys me about the gambling industry - it should be legislated that if you can win fairly against them then they have to take your bets. </p> -

<p>With most of the European bookies/"Aussie" bookies owned by Europeans, if you show any potential to win they'll cut you off. It doesn't even have to be a big winning streak, sometimes just a few smart bets in a row. Especially if you're using a new account.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You either get your bets reduced to maximum $1 stakes or more likely a nice email telling you they're closing your account for "commercial reasons".</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you're utterly clueless and losing your house/your companies money they'll send you nice gifts, some free bets and generally milk you senseless.</p> -

Been following Badman for a bit and he's fairly shit house to be fair. I guess it's tough when people expect a tip out of you every day but some of them are just woeful and look bad tips from the outset. Good to follow for a laugh though as a lot of people take his advice as gospel and then rage when the bet falls over

@Baxymoron think Argies are paying $4 H2H at the TAB too....
-
I should have mentioned I meant Aus TAB. H2H they are $3.75.
I guess that means you could get handicap of +11.5 or +12.5 from NZ TAB for the Argies. I'm wondering if the Wallaby faithfuls will have a late plunge and push the odds out a bit more. I'm doubting they are that confident (or bet in numbers big enough to affect the odds).
A mate who is pretty good with the Rugbil Oigue just msgd me to say he has just plopped $100 on the Broncos @ $2.86 because Winterstein and Lowe are out for the Cowboys. Caveat emptor...

Would like to know what the respective travel schedules are coming off this game. Traditionally the ABs have been very flat for outings where they immediately travel to the republic - but with a 14 day gap I can't imagine they are going right away.
The Boks surely are though?

+10.5 @ $1.90 for Argentina (vs Australia) is tickling my fancy a little.
I like this too. Very much in fact

Opened up a bet 365 account last week. Soooo much better than TAB.
There is a sign up bonus available of up to $200 which I've already unlocked thanks for a fair bit of activity and built my account to almost $1k. The in play better options are just awesome and the cash out option is also a real winner.
Only thing it is missing is NZ racing so will keep my TAB account open for that and of course arbitrage opportunities, one of which I've have already had.

this fucking AFL every day is killing me! 8 leg same-game multis every game, and i never get them!! low goal scorers is killing me!
Last night it was only 4 legs paying $25 and i got zero legs!!
I jagged a 3-leg NRL one last week at $28s, and that's the only time they have worked. Fucking same-game multis sound great in theory, are dogshit in practice. you get greedy...
-
oh, and i put an NRL/AFL result multi across the 6 games every saturday. The closest i got was 5 legs, and thinking i was home until the Eels somehow tripped up to the Manly B team.
fucking parramatta
