Caught up with my mate who is now a manager at the TAB

Had a chat about things

He said

- The TAB get their odds for NBA, MLB, NFL from pinnacle.

- The TAB absolutely make "shit loads" of cash during the NRL season.

- They have 1 bettor who bets only on overs and unders in the NRL who moves the market himself. They have an agreement and limit with him  as to how much he can win, He has a doctorate in actuary, and is simply "too good for them".

- NRL players bet on games. They bet in different names, They cannot do anything about it, they know who they are, but their hands are tied.

- Tom Waterhouse "did his ass". He spent too much on advertising etc etc, ruined it for everyone else in terms of new legislation brought in. William Hill bought a stake in his company, He will get a $70 mill bonus if certain targets are met, however, he says the TAB couldn't even reach these targets such they are so high. Apparently Tom even regrets doing what he did, My mate has known Tom since school.

- They have about 20 bookmakers who take on live betting, If live betting online comes through with legislation, it will increase to 70 bookmakers..

I have absolutely no idea why he uses the TAB and not others, maybe he does, I don't know.

I remember he also said that the guy bets on player disposals in the AFL????

Anyways, I distinctly remember him saying he has a PHD in actuary and he is "just to good".

What do you mean by no cash out feature?

No more, they changed that with depositing $100 into your account on your birthday.

Oh, a common mate of ours who we both worked with together works for that massive , massive , massive punter. The croation guy.

Anyways, he was saying how he took our mate and other staff members on his private jet to an EPL game, to watch one of the big teams, Arsenal , Chelsea or something like that. They flew with his private jet, had 2 boxes right on the half way line, all expenses paid..etc etc

Now your talking.

So I got this information from "common knowledge"?
