    Brettels:

    Australia seems like an awesome place. All the blokes love their sports, and the country has a high tolerance for betting.

    Q: what is the juice like in those brick-and-mortar shops? Like -115/-115 lines? Is the Tennis juicy, too?

    You can check it out here http://tatts.com/sports

    What is on that site is on the touchscreens at the TAB's in my state , generally odds are better elsewhere for lines etc...sometime there ML can have better than other places. It's good for people who prefer the atmosphere of drinking at a pub with other people most of whom you wouldn't know, and try win some cash while you are there.

    I lived in Oz for 2.5 years so TAB in the morning is nothing new.

    Posting a worthless ticket was what my first post referred to.

    Just showing those who've never seen what it's like, as i said, not trying to prove anything. I do 95% of my betting online as it is. The showing is for the majority, who have never seen a tab or a tab ticket. get over yourself.

    Cool, Brettels. The TAB site looks good, odds ok (not excessive juice).

    One of these years, I'll make it to Australia and we'll have an Aussie SBR Bash.

    Pretty similar to our TABs Brettels.

    Plenty of degens sweating horses whenever I am in there. THe state of most of the punters is pretty hideous.

    lol.

    I hate being inside the TAB. If it wasn't for online betting, I would not bet.

    The people who frequent TABs as a hang out have huge issues with hygiene. They all fvcking stink.

    You will also notice quite a few with plastic bottles in their bags or they are holding them. I'm fairly confident it is usually some kind of strong white spirit inside. I'm not ruling out turpentine or methanol.

    The only time I've been inside a TAB since about 2000 is to watch if I have a horse running in the country that is in such a shitty race (cheap, cheap horse) it isn't even on TV.

    yes. plenty inside pubs and bars as well.

    Most are reluctant to give you big sums of money when cashing out though, especially if they don't recognise you.

    Only a need for enough to show racing. The one Brettels is in inside a pub. We also have stand alone betting shops like the UK. In answer to the question about TAB juice - most lines are -111/-111, but they go to -115 for some stuff as well, they leave a lot of stale stuff up.

    Didn't think it was possible but UniTAB have limited me on some of their smaller markets (tennis handicaps etc) - they would prob just move the lines​if I tried to back them in-store though.
