UNITAB Sports mistake AND....

Unitab alledgedly took over the SA TAB franchise on a proviso there would be no SA Internet Bookie liscenses handed out.
That dracoinain ruling has allowed Unitab to monopolise Internet betting in SA
This is what happened to me this morning
8-05 am
UNITAB ...EG $1-90 to win the 2nd Test
BETFAIR ..EG $1-70 to lay to win the 2nd Test
Nice arb, cant lose if I spead my $$$ properly
I try and place a bet on the Internet to test the water, perhaps I can get a bet on between the days play
This is the message :
Federal legislation prohibits this bet from being placed on the Internet after play has started
To place a bet please phone 131935 for Telebet Sportsbet
So I ring up 131935
Then get this message
Hours of opeartion are etc etc
Opening hours may vary depending on sporting schedules
etc etc
The conclusion of my call has Unitab hanging up on me !
Bloody marvellous
Cant get a bet on the net
Cant get a bet on the phone
Cant even talk to a human being
IF Unitab cant service me in this instance, they should not be displaying odds on thier site ???
AND when will the legislation go thru for punters to bet on live sporting events in Australia ?
As moronic as it is I can bet with a MALtese based bookie live on Domestic and International cricket played in Australia
But cant bet live on the net with Australian Bookmakers
In fact we can all open accounts and bet offshore on live cricket in several parts of the world
I DO AND MY $$$ GOES OFFSHORE
PS
The $1-90 was there until about 8-20 this morning
It was then changed on the site to $1-65
Proves that someone was in the office
