The Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: God took one of Adam’s ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. Adam said, this is now bone of […]

Matt Tripp should have the Edge Hill kid running his book. He knows how to count. The hot word from out sources down south inside Sportsbet is that the floundering and flailing BetR CEO Matthew Tripp has stuffed up big time with his $101 odds Melbourne Cup promo, and is under huge pressure from his […]
So after stuffing the whole world around by promising $101 odds in the Cup up until 5,30 this arvo, BetR have not only reneged completely and lost trust with every punter in Australia, but now they don’t even have a Cup market up at all. In fact they don’t have one for Flemington on Tuesday […]

Don’t make us angry. You wouldn’t like us when we are angry! UPDATE The BetR site just came up again You wouldn’t want […]

We were told Tabcorp’s head office would be in QLD. That’s what they said when they conned their way into the retail […]
Curly Seal (pictured at top) is a controversial and well known rather infamous character in the Australian bookmaking diaspora. A man renowned in racing circles for taking bets and then betting them back to shave a free slice, Seal came to national prominence when pro punter Steve Fletcher and his then backer Eddie Hayson played […]
Matt Tripp is supposedly the guru of Australian gambling. Forget the fact that his father was an illegal SP bookie, and thus a crim. Forget that Tripp Jr’s success has been built on other people’s money. Forget that his companies have a long track record of targeting problem gamblers who are off the punt, and […]
