How can we help?

Favourites (previously Race Tracker) will provide you notifications of when your favourite runner, trainer, jockey, driver or racetrack is in action.  

How does it work?

• Add favourites from the race card (all options available) or from results and transaction history (only runner available).
• You need to be a TAB account customer to enjoy using this service
• You can add notes against runners 
• Email notifications are free
• Text notifications cost 20 cents per message.  

Why can’t I see all my Racetracker profiles in my Favourites account?

We have tried to migrate all Racetracker Profiles from the last 4 - 6 months so your most recent and relevant selections should appear provided we can find a current match for your selection.

Fixed Odds Exotics are available on races when an 'F' icon is displaying next to the existing tote exotic markets.

Bet Placement 

Select the bet type, and move the toggle to the right to ‘Fixed’ - default is ‘tote’. Place the bet as you would a normal ‘Tote’ equivalent using boxed or standard to make your selections.

Once a bet is built you can view your potential returns  (up to 1000 combinations) by selecting the 'view combinations' link that will launch the will pay modal.

The modal will display the Min/Avg/Max returns, along with the number of combinations you have. The lower part of the modal will show individual lines ordered numerically by runner combinations.

Transaction History 

From the transaction history you can also view the will pay combinations modal once the bet has been placed.

SP betting is available on all New Zealand and Australian racing 

SP (Starting Price) is a Fixed Odds market that pays out the Fixed Odds Win (FFWIN) odds at the time a race starts, that is, when the Fixed Odds Win market closes. SP betting may be available prior to the release of Fixed Odds Win markets, as well as after the release of Fixed Odds Win markets. There are two ways you can place an SP bet on tab.co.nz.

1. Prior to the release of a Fixed Odds Win (FFWIN) market: you can place an SP bet directly from the race card.

2. After the release of a Fixed Odds Win (FFWIN) market: you can toggle to an SP bet in your betslip once you've selected the Final Field Win odds for a runner in the racecard.

 

Will Pay dividends become available after the penultimate leg of the pool has been confirmed (i.e. after the first leg of a Double, after the second leg of a Treble, after the third leg of a Quaddie and after the fifth leg of a Pick6).

When Will Pay dividends are available, a button will appear  next to the pool information for that bet type giving you the ability to view the dividend prior to the final leg.

Please note:Will Pay dividends are only provisional. They may be subject to change due to dead heats, late scratchings, technical issues or other unforeseen issues.

Winsurance markets are where an ‘insurance’ is offered if the selection doesn’t win. 

There are three different types of Winsurance options available:

• Winsurance (2nd) - Stake is returned if your runner places second;
• Winsurance (2nd & 3rd) - Stake is returned if your runner places second, or third and;
• Winsurance (2nd, 3rd & 4th) - Stake is returned if your runner places second, third, or fourth
  
  Winsurance markets are located on the race card. Deductions may be applied and dead heat rules apply.
