I'd be bloody spewin if it was me, but as stated by others the Broncos are well within their rights to decline the shot at goal, they exercised that right. Its all above board.

merkin of a thing though :lol:
i remember having $20 on a front rower, might have been Scotty Logan for FTS, @ $101, he got across the line first but the try which i thought was a BOTD got called no try. I was fuming :lol:

Wether he put the bet on or not,he still drives a good point were it should be within the rules that a team must take a shot at goal to satisfy the gaming public for those that had the score either way.

He should firstly,and with a level head,phone the betting agency explaining the situation and his unsatisfactory feeling in regards to the outcome.

If this doesn't draw a result for him,I would advise consulting with the consumer affairs.

Given the controversy with the roosters in the last few days it is a fair question to ask - as much as some people hate gambling being a part of rugby league

Isnt thier a total points scored option ? and a 50 or more option - I though thier was and if thier is and the kick wasnt taken then that needs investigating - players may not have been betting against thier own team but if you have a fortune on 41-50points or 50 and under it doesent mean your betting against your own team but it does mean you elect not to take the kick

Actually by allowing the TAB, sports bet and any other betting agency to bet and put sponsorship dollars into the game, which comes from the punter they are required to take the kick, who takes the bloody kick is another matter but the conversion should have taken place, dont offer margin betting, last scoring play and pick the score if the punter doesnt have every chance to get it.

It is manipulating the score by way of deception, a form of match fixing and should be frowned upon.

I know there are many agencies out there with heaps of options. But in NSW TAB you can only bet on pick the score as part of a pool, its not fixed odds, and you don't know the dividend until after full time, and when you put 20 bucks on it you just shorten up the odds for yourself unless its a really easy one and 1000's of people got it.

The only bet option I have seen regularly this could have f**ked up is betting on Melbourne to win by exactly 28, which would have been 30-1 tops, what a flogger.

wrong, there is pick the score, total winning margin, total points scored in the game, live betting on handicap, final scoring play, Over /under.

you are right though the money is an all in pool, so fixed odds on pick the score are a myth, the total is determined by the total number of winners.

whoever did have any of the above betting options were robbed of the chance of a collect, the NRL welcomed betting agencies into the game and take their sponsorship dollars, they owe it to the punter to ensure the kick is taken, if the kick misses stiff sh*t done ya dough, but it didnt happen.

I don't know I'm not an authority in Australian Law on the subject. I doubt it has ever been tested.

Prohibition doesn't stop gambling though. Have a look into the history of SP bookmaking in Australia.

The offshore sportsbooks are also beneath the law. There is little recourse if they were found to be breaching Australian copyright laws.
That is the 2nd time today I have heard of SB Bookies, but I have no clue what SP stands for. What does it mean?

I know they were illegal bookies, but that is all.

I remember having a stack on Ben Kennedy to score first try in the 2001 GF, he could've scored on his own, but he gave it to bloody Bill Peden instead :lol: Ah well, Newcastle winning meant I still ended up in front.
