Racehorse TALK

Thanks Beachy think I may not have been on the UNITAB site for a week or so, and that may have been problem. I think If I access the UNITAB site on Friday and log in as if I was to bet, then I can access the required Form for Saturday' fields.  Will check it out again next Saturday.


Checked it today and both the old and new UNITAB screen allow you access to the three last race form by clicking on the first non scratched horse in the race field apparently though not appearing to be logged in to bet.  Cheers.

Wrong Thread.

Anyone know why they paid out on 10-1 ?

The Storm game was 17-4, no one had it so they paid out on 16,18-4
The Sharks game was 11-0, no one had it so wouldn't you think it pay out on 10,12 -0/1. 

I tried to look up the pick score pool for match to see if there was only 1 winner but they hide the pool for some weird reason.    BUT you'd think they'd be consistent with how they publish the winning numbers. Even if no-one had 12-0 they should be consistent to show it like that if they did it for the other game.

Why they choose to publish 1 as the losing score is also baffling as 0/1 is on the ticket. Someone could see they paid out on 10-1 & thrown their ticket away. (maybe that's what they want! 

The only reason I'm posting this is someone asked me how they work it out & I said I don't know, must be in the fine print in the rules.


 

There are 18 points of priority on the list for payouts in the event of no one actually having the correct score.

The first point is: the winning team’s score and the losing team’s score plus or minus 1 point

The second point is:the winning team’s score plus or minus 1 point and the losing team’s score

So from that I'd conclude that they've got down to the second point, and no one has had 12-0/1 so the payout goes to everyone who had 10-0/1.

In the Storm game there were obviously punters who had the 16 & 18-4 hence the dual payout.

Thanks Beachy, so if they payout on 10-0/1 why don't they write 10-0/1 as the winning score?

A couple of months back I said the new site sucked, but I waited to see if there might be an improvement.

Nothing I have seen since has changed my opinion.

If fact if you wanted to pay someone to screw a previously good website like Tabonline the current resultant Unitab website would be the classic example.

Of course even writing this is a waste of words, but it just needed to be said.

Not sure if there has been any changes as I still have to get the Race Field screen data from the old tabonline, because if you do a Select All on the new screen it picks up the three windows not just the race field window. TAB said they are aware of this problem and so assume it will eventually be fixed.

Nevertheless getting the Field and Form Data is quite good and is collected seamlessly ready for use.

have implemented some more changes today, I assume 

Well I'll be dammed. I looked at the comment above what I wrote yesterday, clicked on the "OLD WEBSITE address" and there it was. Whoop de do, and whoop de do again. Please please please keep it.

Tabonline FOREVER !!!!!!!!!!

Seems results are only available as far back as Dec 10th 2009 on the you beaut new Unitab site.

Not good enough and likewise for VIC and NSW TAB results archives.

Sky racing website goes back to 1/1/2007

Yeah was something to do with the upgrade from Tabonline I believe. They are available on CD/DVD for as far back as 2001 (if not further) although they do charge for those.

I would call that a downgrade.

The cost of storage of this archive data is minimal yet all three big TABs Queensland NSW and Victoria prefer to insult the intelligence of their customers by providing no more than 4 months to 12 months archival data - woeful service.

The unitab site will hold 3yrs of results from December 10 09 onwards I've been told

"Seems results are only available as far back as Dec 10th 2009 on the you beaut new Unitab site"

The old TABOLINE site still has results going back to January 2008.

Just punch into TABONLINE, go to Results and search. Choose your date and VOILA!!
