There are other regions where the NZ punter can take their betting. Australia, GB, HK etc. I can't bet through the NZ TAB so have to bet elsewhere. I bet on NZ thoroughbreds because I can download the horse performance details easily. I also have a database of HK horses that give me so much info., I should just focus there. I would never bet on flies, mosquitoes or any other wildlife. I'm not a compulsive gambler. I like to invest to make money. If I can't do that, I stop.
