Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The Melbourne bookie that we wrote about during the week declaring Romantic Warrior the lay of the century was spot on, as form analysts extraordinaire like he usually are. It cannot win and I am going to lay it until I can’t lay it any more he said on these pages, and true to his […]
This a picture of a desolate betting ring at Canterbury on Wednesday just before race 4. The question is not why the bloke even bothered going, but why the bookie or bookies did. What possible benefit could there be from it? Lots, if you think about it. Wonder what the hold was? I personally wouldn’t […]
A prominent Melbourne bookmaker has declared Romantic Warrior to be the lay of the spring in the Cox Plate, and says that he going to take it on in the Turnbull too. The bookie – who has asked not to be named – is of the view that while former English galloper Redkirk Warrior may […]
Punters aren’t allowed to bet on credit with online bookies, so why is Betr able to pay to pay on tick? That’s the question everyone is asking after the struggling bookmaker announced yesterday that it would not be paying out on winning bets in it’s 100-1 footy promotions until almost a week after the Grand […]

This message was sent out to clients of Bet Hunter last week.

I backed Cronulla against the Roosters last night, and was cursing Nicho Hynes for almost the entire last 10 minutes. How does a Dally M winner get 2 field goal shots charged down when he had all day to fire them? Because he erred on the side of caution and spent too long thinking about […]
Bookmaker and punter Nathan Snow has today been fined $18 000 by Racing NSW after being found guilty of 7 counts of misconduct under the rules in relation to betting activities related to confidential information that his wife Sally Snow obtained while in her role as head of trading at the NSW TAB and passed […]
I reckon you know that you are somewhere near the money about the Eureka when the major sponsor of and slot holder in the Eureka is the TAB, and they won’t put up a futures market on the race. Why won’t they? What do you reckon. It’s the same reason that Sportsbet won’t a market […]
Keith from QLD tried to have a 7 leg all up with the bookie Swiftbet on Friday night. The potential return was about $359. Swiftbet cut it by 2/3rds, and only let him on for $15, to win $84 and his stake back. As you can see our Keith wasn’t happy. Who could blame him? […]
