Palmerbet Go Bang with New Bookie Bag Launch

Andrew Hendrie: Mar 16, 2022

Palmerbet have put the icing on the gradual end of the coronavirus sporting hiatus and the upcoming spring racing schedule via the launch of their new three-pronged Bookie Bag betting product.

Palmerbet Bookie Bag

Punters keen to increase their odds on a thoroughbred, greyhound or harness racing fixed odds market bet will welcome the Price Push function.

Meanwhile, if you’ve got bitter memories of bad beats from your runner being pipped at the post or your team blowing a late lead, the Race Rescue and Game Saver options could save you from further heartache.

The Palmerbet Bookie Bag gives Palmerbet’s customers the opportunity to use the new features daily/weekly on fixed odds races (Price Push and Race Rescue), and all NRL, AFL, NBA and NFL matches (Game Saver).

Here’s how they work:

PRICE PUSH

Looking to get a bit more bang for your betting buck on fixed odds thoroughbred, greyhound or harness racing events? Get in the saddle with Palmerbet’s Price Push. Selecting this option allows punters to give their odds a nudge in the right direction.

Pick a runner in a fixed odds thoroughbred, greyhound or harness race and add it to your bet slip.
Enter your stake.
You should see the Price Push icon on the bet slip underneath your stake – click or tap it.
Watch the price get a healthy boost, then click/tap the ‘Place Bet’ button and the ‘Submit’ button.
Price Push is available on fixed odds racing ‘Win’ options only.
The number of Price Push bets available to a customer is available in their notifications, while the maximum stake limit will be displayed in the bet slip.

RACE RESCUE

Every punter knows the pain of getting on a sure thing only for it to finish in the minor places or backing an outsider to win only for it to be edged out, leaving you empty-handed.

Palmerbet has introduced a way to ease the pain. The Race Rescue feature does what it says on the box: If your runner in a fixed odds thoroughbred, greyhound or harness racing event comes in second or third, you’ll get a reprieve.

Choose the runner you reckon will win in any fixed odds thoroughbred, greyhound or market race.
Enter your stake.
Click or tap on the Race Rescue icon, located underneath your stake on the bet slip. Click/tap on the ‘Place Bet’ button then the ‘Submit’ button.
If your chosen runner comes in second or third, your stake will be returned to bet with on another event.
Race Rescue is available on fixed odds racing ‘Win’ options only.
The number of Race Rescue bets available to a customer is available in their notifications, while the maximum stake limit will be displayed in the bet slip.

GAME SAVER

There’s nothing worse than watching your favourite team build a healthy lead, only to squander it in the latter stages and sink to a loss. It’s even more brutal if you’ve got a bet on said ‘chokers’. But with Palmerbet’s Game Saver feature, you don’t need to blow your stack – because you haven’t blown your cash.

Pick a team to win head-to-head in any NRL, AFL, NBA or NFL match.
Enter your stake.
Click or tap the Game Saver icon, which you’ll find on your bet slip underneath your stake. Click/tap the ‘Place Bet’ button then the ‘Submit’ button.
If the NRL team you back is in front at the 60-minute mark but loses, or the AFL, NBA or NFL team you’re on is leading at three-quarter time but ultimately goes down, your stake is refunded in the form of a bet to use on another event.
Game Saver is available on NRL, AFL, NBA and NFL ‘Match Result’ bets only.
The number of Game Saver bets available to a customer is available in their notifications, while the maximum stake limit will be displayed in the bet slip.

The Verdict

Palmerbet’s introduction of the Bookie Bag is a timely arrival for punters ahead of the big races to come in 2020 and the imminent return of sporting codes and competitions.

There’s no shortage of potential value in the odds-boosting Price Push, or the safety net of the Race Rescue and Game Saver features.
