Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Race Ararat tonight. The leader is the odds on favorite. There is only twenty meters to go. He’s home to the world. And then …. There is a different way to get beat every day. Thank goodness the Zac Chappenden’s got quick reflexes and a step. The kid must have played rep footy.
Bramble Bay. Beautiful isn’t it? As pretty as Hiroshima a week after they dropped the bomb. Yesterday we expressed our bemusement about a $20 into $7.50 early plunge on a runner in the 2nd race at Toowoomba last night. Bramble Bay was the horse’s name. It had raced 14 times without even running a place. […]
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 […]
The Jim Murdoch KC trained Bramble Bay has been the subject of an early plunge at Toowoomba tonight. $20 was available with some bookies at openers. Now it’s in to $7.50, and is firming with every turn of the board. I am buggered if I know why, because this horse is a legless walker. Bramble […]
Doesn’t this dipstick look like the best punter you have ever seen? Just as I look like George Clooney. What a load of palaver this is. It is an email that the fraudster Michael Pryde sent to the suckers that believed his bullshit tale about guaranteed riches to be gained by handing him huge sums […]
This is the police video of the arrest of Tommy Berry’s mate The Butcher last week. Whether or not Zaid Miller will be backing Tommy’s tips this weekend is unknown. For some reason the Magistrate issued an order prohibiting the result of the Butcher’s bail application. Butch’s latest bookie UpCoz will be sweating on finding […]
The inside mail from the Deagon bunker is that Jason Scott is about to be appointed to the position as CEO of Racing QLD. It amazes those of us who knew him as Les Scott back in the days when he was a commission agent at Harold Park for the controversial racing identity and professional […]
Archie That study you quoted is ancient history. There’s one reason problem gamblers are problem gamblers and it’s the same for every type of addiction, sex, drugs alcohol rock ‘n’ roll, and that’s the pleasure pain balance in the mesolimbic dopamine pathway. You can listen about it here. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=p3JLaF_4Tz8 Anna Lembke, Psychiatrist and Chief of […]
Abstract Physiological arousal is purportedly a key determinant in the development and maintenance of gambling behaviors, with problem gambling conceptualized in terms of abnormal autonomic responses.
