Tips & strategy
A racing form guide is an opinion, and the same goes for every tip in betting. This section treats tips as claims to be tested against the price.
Calculators, odds, systems, predictions, multi bets and score betting are included, with guides to each. Decimal odds, such as 2.10, are the New Zealand convention. No tip here is a sure bet, and no match is named.
Arbitrage depends on comparing several bookmakers, yet only TAB NZ is lawful in New Zealand, and spread betting has no lawful form here. Virtual sports, where the event is computer-simulated, are classed as online casino gambling and fall outside TAB betting.
