That meant I could not place bets on my TAB accounts as was off line
I tried rebooting but to noah avail
No online
I had 65 seconds left to place a bet
I frantically rang up Unitab
I got thru 45 seconds to go
I get a recorded message
No operators after 9-00 oclock
Transferring to Voice bet
30 seconds b4 they jump
A computerised voice asks for my account number, 20 seconds to go
Then asks for my code 15 seconds to go
The code is wrong please repeat 10 seconds to go
I repeat the code 5 seconds to go
Your first bet AND THIER OFF
It wins and Im not on grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
FFS
AAPT
eventually rangem up
went thru a 3,765,472 step process
then waited about 30 minutes for an operator
SA users of AAPT were off line
Ring back Monday if not online
hmnnn
ordinary outcome, but cant be helped
UNITAB
good news - bad news
Good news when you bet thru the Automated Voice bet system you recieve a rebated commision on the bet
It vares from between .07% to 1% [???] depending on the days
Invest a $100 get $0-70c to $1-00 rebate
Very good , pays for the phone call
You get this in reward points to be used a couple of times a year
Bad news Unitab , very very very poor performance to expect ALL punters to place bets with a computerised operator after 9-00
Fortunately I knew how to place my bets, but still missed out
BUT'there would be others who would not know how to pllace bets
Surely Scabtab can employ operators until about 11-00 when domestic racing would finish
The computerised voice operator takes twice as long to place a bet as a authentic operator
Unitab needs to lift thier game
Corporate internet Bookies/Betfair are the competition out there
AAPT
exonerated one of those things
wtf have i got to do with this discussion fev ?
