Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The shoe repair man from Sydney who struck it big in the 4 leg multi at Albany is not quite the straight path walker that he pretends to be. In fact I wouldn’t back him to be able to lie straight in bed. His weekly punting limit is $200 the shoe man reckons. He might […]
Good Will Punting is a so-called sports betting consultancy firm. It claims to offer risk free punting solutions. Peter Foster and Bill Vlahos did too. As every punter knows, there is no risk free. That’s why it’s called gambling. Very few people know him or know his name, but my mate Overs is one of […]
A Melbourne-based betting “consultancy” firm is hunting a client for missing thousands after engaging the punter to place bets on its behalf. Professional gambling outfit Good Will Punting sued James McConnon for almost $7000 after it signed the client as an “agent” in September 2020. The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal heard on Tuesday Mr […]
Disgraced Star Entertainment CEO Matt Bekier has been in the witness box at the NSW Casino Inquiry for just one day, but already he has created the distinct impression that his attitude to the world has been styled on that of his countryman and obvious role model Hansie Cronje. The mantra is clear. Lie, lie […]
Far North Queensland’s leading owner Tom Hedley – the controversial businessman and hotelier who ten years ago told the liquidator of his companies that collapsed owing $350 000 that all he had left was just $28 000 in cash, a $69 000 tax refund, a share in a horse and a house – owned 2 […]
So who is this company The Hairy Pill? The Hairy Pill is just a business name. The outfit that owns it is called The Hairy Company Pty Ltd. The private company with 2000 issued shares and three directors, that trio also being the shareholders. The non-paying bookie Noah Rose owns 7000 of the shares. He’s […]
Matt Tripp is regarded by some ignorant folk as a genius in the world of gambling. Maybe he is, I don’t know. The thing I do know is that Tripp’s business practices resemble those of the drug pusher who waits outside the rehab clinic ready to grab people as they walk out and offer them […]
Everyone imagines that harness racing in Perth is flying, and until an hour ago I did too. Why wouldn’t you? The prizemoney is up there with the best in the country, the two feature races are worth three-quarters of a mil, the horses are strong, and the owners are cashed up and willing and ready […]
Between the 16th of January 2020 and the 3rd of February 2020, an unnamed but very real punter who we shall call Con Pulsiff deposited $1.1 million into a betting account that he held with PlayUp, who are in my considered view if not the worst corporate bookie in the world, then a pretty damn […]
One of those rare things happened at the Bunbury Trots yesterday, a triple dead heat. It wasn’t for first place though, it was for fourth. The triple dead heat happened in race 2 when My Ultimate Joe, Nellie Babe and Go Widgie (sounds like a marital romp in the sack using pet names doesn’t) crossed […]
