Initially I was confused about the bid for TAB, as Todd mentioned in a webinar last year that an advantage that Bet has is that BET is independent of bookmakers, as it just supplies the software and services for bookies. So my understanding now is the pivot to acquire TAB, and to then take TAB global must be a greater opportunity for BET then just supplying services to bookies.

I have wondered if it is possible that TAB's board look at the BET's takeover proposal and after seeing all the benefits of using BET's technology, decide to sign up to use the full suite of software and services that BET provides instead of agreeing to the takeover proposal. i.e. go it alone and still get the full benefits of BET's proposal without giving up any ownership, then demerge the wagering business separately.
