UNITAB worst TAB in Australia ?

Why oh why did SA ever go to Unitab.
The amount of complaints Ive seen on sites, on courses and the TABS keeps on keeping on.
The switch has cost them a lot of commision just purely on my invesments the last few years
I do 90 % of my investments on VIC + NSW TABS
They have Quaddies/Running Doubles/Flexi Betting
Unitab has waited several years before announcing in 2007 they would also
provide a service on limited Quaddies /Flexi Betting.
This was meant to be launched in December 2007
Its now January 08 , and as Con once said waiting waiting waiting

I rang Unitab earlier this week to ask what WA dog races per meeting they are betting on.
Most WA meetings are restricted from about R5 onwards in SA
The answer from Unitab
Dont know you will have to check what races you can bet on, on the day.
I rang SUPERTAB
It was explained to me the limited coverage of WA races is due to Sky Channell
not covering tthe early parts of the meeting, as they dont want too many races on
as it is to hectic to show them all, hence the 10-00 starts for WA.

This was later confirmed by a Unitab representative.
So OK Im not impressed but I can understand the rationality.

Tonights schedule for WA dogs on the TABS

SUPER RACES 6 T0 12
NSW...RACES 6 TO 12
UNI....RACES 6 TO 10..................last race at 10-52 [piss weak why not go to 11-32]

Unitab betting on 2 less races

South Africa races

SUPER + NSW .....RACES 3 TO 9
UNITAB...............RACES 3 TO 6

England Races

SUPER + NSW..... RACES 1 TO 5
UNITAB...............RACE 1 only

Now somebody will probably say
But Mal it costs them more in wages than commissions held at that time of night
Mal will say and thats another reason why 90% of my turnover goes to the other tabs
And most of the 10% is because Unitab has Trebles[something the other TABS dont have]

Unitab :butthead: simply are way behind the other 2 TABs

YES (UniTab is Crap)

Rough % Breakdown of my Betting

WA Tab (Ozbet)........75 % (Best Website for Internet Betting. Plenty of BIG Jackpots means $$$$$$$ )
VIC Tab (SuperTab)...20 % (Race to Race Jackpots on Everything. $$$$$$$$$$ )
QLD Tab (UniTab)...... 5 % (1 Jackpot/week on Dogs,Trots and Gallops and On-Course Wagers )

No treble on South African Races saturday 12/01/08 [they have one other meetings in SA]
UNITAB is betting on races 2+3
SUPERTAB + NSW TABS are betting on races 2-3-4-5-6 including a quadrella

Just another instance of how punters on punitab are getting a poor deal
And my $$$ invested on the interstate totes again

29th is still not definite as Unitab are still waiting on government approval. :? :? :? Also problem with actual cost of bet, not sure if amounts will be rounded to nearest dollar or if there will be a shortfall in amount customer wants to spend

Welcome to the site
Thanks for that info
My suggestion is they should copy SUPER/NSW who had had flexi betting for years now

more proof...36ers tonight

UNITAB - $9-00
C/Bet - $14.50

UNITAB - Brisbane -6.5 $1.78
C/Bet - Brisbane -16.0 $1.90

Daylight robbery, why would you take the $1.78 for -16.5 when Centrebet have $1.90 for -16.0 :shock: better price and if they win by 16 you get a push with Centrebet and a loss with UNITAB :roll: :roll:
