Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Keith From QLD did his arse on Saturday, while I was winning. So at end of the day I slung him $500 to have a bet on the trots, as he would me. That’s just what lifelong punter mates do. We’re a bit different than most people, and comfortable about it too. Keith knocked off […]
All week the so-called experts have been carrying on about how superb the Penrith Panthers are, and how it seemed unlikely that any team could possibly beat them this season. Pshaw. That might have been the case in the pre-salary cap days, but it ain’t anymore. The salary cap has put an end to unbeaten […]
Trainer Matt Laurie is blowing up about criticism of his star mare Treasure The Moment’s intestinal fortitude, but let me just say if she doesn’t win the Sunline Stakes on the weekend at set weights against a bunch of horses grades below her on records then Laurie should just give up and send her to […]
First Captain’s Mistress and the broken seat, and now this. Call me the cooler. I should give up the punt. But what else would I do on a Saturday? The crossword? Play bowls? Go bushwalking? F**k that. What time’s the next?
Don’t believe all the crap that the newspapers write about Mick Gatto. He is actually in my opinion a very nice, generous and genuine bloke. A man’s man. As long as you do the right thing by him, he does by you. Big Mick can tip a winner too. Sorry I wasn’t at liberty to […]
Mr H is your classic problem gambler. A pulsie, a desperate, and an addict. I know heaps of them. Many of by best mates are. It’s not a knock. These otherwise good Australians are just sick, and hate and love it in equal parts, but no matter what they do, or how long they stay […]
Mr Y punted with Picklebet. God only knows why, but he did. Y was winning on his account, and sometime before Xmas 2024 he won again. On the 11th of December in that year he tried to withdraw $12 500 from his account, the balance of which at the time was $12 615.26. Picklebet wouldn’t […]
Mr L – let’s call him Lala for the sake of simplicity – was a punter who bet with bookmaker.com, which reveals that he is an idiot from the start, given that it was an Entain branded corporate that had all but been abandoned at the time that he was punting, and probably only stayed […]
Dear Peter QRIC have a strict gambling policy which I’m pretty sure means you can’t bet on anything when you’re on duty, even stuff that you’re otherwise allowed to bet on. (Editor’s note – It’s our understanding that QRIC Stewards aren’t allowed to bet on anything at all, although we may be mistaken). Notwithstanding the […]
It’s the biggest day of racing of the year so far down south, and everyone is having a punt. Everyone except Bet365 customers that is. They can’t get on. The 365 website has been down for hours, and is showing no signs of coming back up anytime soon. And it’s impossible to get through on […]
