Corporates caught in a sting

[ringman]

I agree triple in corporates paying their dues.they want to use the product then pay simple that one. as for tabs the day will come when the lay option will be available to all punters because they must change or go further behind.

You only have to look at the setup of Englands thoroughbred racing and what the absence of a TAB does for the industry there. They have had the gambling industry monopolised by corporates and it has not fared well for prizemoney over there.

Spot on Grant, it doesn't matter what sort of game you're in, you need real, fair dinkum competition between the players to get a an improved result, handing the reins over to one mob or the the other is not the answer nor is giving one sector a leg-up on their competition, as is currently the case with the corporates.
They, like any other mob in business want everything they can get for as little expense as possible!

But they need to pay their fair share towards the production and maintenance of the product! Once this has been settled ( hopefully fairly) the corporates will pay their share and the TAB will get more competitive in the betting medium market and everyone will be better off.

Just to put in my two bob's worth here re. corporates.They initially said that they would go broke if they had to pay the same as the Totes and took Uncle Tom Cobbly and all to court,looking for a ruling that would say that they did not have to pay the extra.
As a condition of the application the corporates had to pay in the difference between what they had been paying and what they would be required to pay if the case was won by the racing/pacing/chasing industries.
This they have done since the start of the case and the amount now held by the authorities, pending the outcome of the case, is in the high tens of millions,and how many corporates have gone broke in this period?
Really,that many?

Yeah Ron, like years ago when there was a big push for superannuation for ALL employees, not just Government and mining as was then the case, I remember the employers organisations ( their term for union) fighting it tooth and nail and their biggest spiel " we will become uncompetitive and go out of business if we have to pay this", like I said earlier people will have something for nothing if you let them have it for nothing and then they'll turn around and sell it back to you.
