Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]
Dostoevsky (pictured above) wrote Crime and Punishment, and Demons too. It’s all just Russian to me. Every gambler knows That the secret to surviving Is knowing what to throw away And knowing what to keep ‘Cause every hand’s a winner And every hand’s a loser And the best that you can hope for Is to […]
As far as I am aware my childhood mate J.Catton didn’t have a cent on Lucky Hero that night. My other lifelong friend M. Cranitch didn’t either, despite me both telling them to. They were the owner and trainer. What would I know though? Only how to work out greyhound form. And how to get […]
No matter how long you have been involved in racing, there are still things you learn every day. The case of the two late scratchings in the first race at the Sunshine Coast yesterday is one of them. I don’t recall having ever seen anything like this before. Two runners were scratched late. The QOP […]
Archie I hate to shatter your dreams, but as an English teacher I feel obliged to inform you that in order to do something again you have to have done it before. For instance, win a million dollars on the punt. You have to have won a million previously before you can do it again, […]
