Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Weren’t you hard done by if you landed the Caulfield quaddie today on the corporate bookie’s default dividend on the Victorian TAB? You got only half what it paid in NSW, QLD, SA, NT and TAS. Same with the Victorian tote and Tabtouch punters. They have all been had. It’s hard to cry over a […]
The last time we saw racing’s everywhere man Baldy, the Forrest Gump of the punt world, was 3 weeks ago in Swan Hill. On Thursday popped up 1700km away at Casino. He has had a haircut in between. It looks like a $5 job at the apprentice barber’s school to me. The fiver was probably […]
Oh my goodness. How brilliant was Kalyn Ponga? And Selwyn Cobbo? Or Sam Walker, Harry Grant, the entire Maroons forward pack, and the whole Queensland team. Keith from QLD and I backed them for plenty head to head. Being an AFL man from way back he doesn’t really understand footy, and was worried at half […]
Remember us writing this? Spot on we were. Billy Slater is a master coach, the next Jack Gibson or Bennett. Laurie Daley is an absolute bum. Great player, but couldn’t coach a pig to be dirty. None of the Blues want to play for him. Because tactically he doesn’t have a clue. And doesn’t understand […]
A former Melbourne businessman who sued a bookmaker after losing more than $400,000 in a drunken two-hour betting spree now owns a string of online gambling sites being criticised by punters for what they consider are “unfair” terms and conditions. Winton Veall, 75, sued Merlehan Bookmaking, trading as TopSport, four years ago after drinking a […]
They might have scored a draw in Gallipoli with the home ground advantage, but the Turks were never going to knock us off on neutral turf. $5.50. The bookies were kidding themselves. Xmas came early. Get on the Japanese to knock off the clog wearers at $3.60 in the morning too. The Dutch are all […]
I rate Ashley Klein as the best referee in the NRL, and have never had any cause to question the calls he make during games at either club or representative level. But this week’s revelation that he has had a major issue with gambling addiction, one so serious that it has seen him lose half […]
As Archie has told you it’s my Nude Tips 1 year anniversary this Saturday and it’s been a wild and hugely enjoyable rollercoaster ride. I’ve picked this week’s photo in honor of my Viking ancestors, me going as hard as I can for the punters for 52 consecutive weeks of The Battle. I’ve won (editor’s […]
Based on how the last race at Mackay was run yesterday you would have to suspect that the winner Red Hot Lizzie is the best named horse in history, because this race sure did look red hot. Lizzie is trained by former trot driver Lachie Manzelmann. Manzelmann had four of the eleven runners in the […]
You’d be smiling too if you tipped six winners in a row Who is this academic who tipped the Big 6 with single selections many readers are asking. We came across this rare piece of footage in the archives of the naked tipster Dr Georgia Whiting being interviewed by the ABC on the streets of […]
