    Australian TAB shops

    Can anyone out there tell me if TAB shops have all the same markets available as their online sites, eg. Can you find all the bets that are on the NSW TAB Sportsbet site, in the shops also?

    Thanks

    I never go into the shops anymore but yes, I understand you can bet on the full range of products in them using cash and no IDs required (I suspect that's why you're asking?)

    But they are obliged to report cash transactions of $10K+ in and out and I think there is cctv operating in them all.

    Sweet thanks, I just want to get around being limited by the online books, happened once so far without even making that much and from what I've read its the norm these days from most books, I haven't tried TAB Sportsbet but I assume they limit also..?

    Tabcorp is different to the other corporate bookies.
    I've not noticed any limitation of my bets by them. In fact they take larger bets than any of the others.
    I've heard that they have been known to limit some customers but I understand that it is extremely rare and I don't know anyone who has been.

    oh, and thanks for the points

    It could hardly be simpler for an Australian. Never any problems.Several options. It is illegal for any company to accept bets from citizens of the USA if they do not hold a betting licence from the US state in which the citizen resides.
    Some companys choose to flout this restriction but the majority of reputable companys such as Tabcorp adhere to these regulations.

    They don't offer Moneybookers or Neteller.
    ************ but the issue there could be your local laws or provider rules.
    EFT or cheque also accepted

    I would say the safest sportsbook (or betting shop) in the world.
    Will take massive bets - when they do it is on the Aussie sposrts news.
    Their margin is generally a bit higher but they do have more overheads.
