Yes Pirates this was done 3 or 4 times.....it really brought many new TAB tellybet accounts into play.....something similar is sure to have mass appeal and also now with online betting a sure winner to bring back all those TAB neigh sayers lost to bad service and poor customer care.....then again I don't think they have enough faith in systems and personal to back up such a competition again....:S

maybe they had a complaint from one of the ego boys because they cannot win CTC ,which only costs R50.that competition only had 2980 entries which a lot of people had multiple entries

2cents who does the marketing at phumelela??
