Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
This was posted on Twitter. It’s apparently Sportsbet’s reply to a punter who queried them having no minimum bet limit on NT races. The reply is refreshing in it’s candour. I am not so sure it says anything much good other than that.
All the familiar figures – dressed as always in black – were at St Therese’s Church in middle class Essendon when they buried crime boss, Lewis Moran, the 23rd victim of Melbourne’s latest gangland war. I live nearby and regularly share a beer at the Cornish Arms Hotel, 100 metres down Sydney Road from where […]
One day in November 2019 this bloke pops up back out of the blue and starts punting like a demon again on his PointsBet account. He knocks off $16 ooo in his first month back. The bloke is the perfect mug from the modelling agency this bloke, the type that makes rapaciously greedy and unscrupulous […]
In the 8 days after the bloke who had self-identified as a problem gambler and asked to be permanently banned reopened his Pointsbet account, he made 4 deposits totaling $110 worth, and put 4 bets adding up to $110 on. The spell hadn’t improved his form any. They all lost. 6 days later he made […]
Self Assured is an absolute superstar, and has been since his break through 3YO season. The Mark Purdon trained pacer has a career record of 28 wins and 20 placings from his 52 starts, and he has only ever been beaten in Group races.

Marty? He’s a smarty. That’s why he doesn’t bet with UpCoz. It appears that the bookie that isn’t really a bookie UpCoz has seen sense and paid Mark Stollery back the money he deposited that they owe him, after they refused to lay him a bet. But if they think that buys their way out […]
There is a parliamentary inquiry currently underway into online gambling. Harm minimization and problem gambling are the two main focuses of the inquiry. But the committee is also looking into the issue of corporate bookies cutting off punters who win. The logic is simple. So you will take any bets that a losing compulsive gambler […]
It doesn’t look like well greyhound man Mark Stollery is too happy with the corporate bookie UpCoz. I don’t know what the background is, but clearly there is a dispute going on about them not accepting bets with the money he deposited in his account with the outfit, and them refusing to refund his cash.

Winton ‘Big Deal’ Veall is one of Cairns most colorful racing characters. What color exactly is up for debate. Last time we heard about Big Deal – an avowed fan of Frank Sinatra, and wannabe impersonator – he was at the Cairns Cup meeting squiring around a young lady of the night who was up […]
