Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
A new punter opens an account with Betfair. On the day he opens the account the punter makes six deposits of $3000 each, a total of $18 000. Over the next 12 days he makes 30 deposits totalling $100 000. A few days later he makes 12 deposits of $5000, adding up to $60 000. […]
This happened at Killarney in Ireland the other night. How cruel is the punting life? Let me count the ways ….
Keith from QLD puts a punters conspiracy theorist spin on the attempted assassination of the Don. It’s a huge leap from a bullet to a bet, but I guess people have been murdered for money since the human race began, so nothing’s impossible. Keith’s story is as always unedited, as he demands as a condition […]
The talk in NZ racing circles is that a new player is about to enter the Kiwi legal bookmaking market. This new player’s called Betcha, and the whisper is it’s set to commence operations sometime in the next 8 weeks. Our spies who have told us these things are asking how it can be? After […]
The Cobbler has lost the plot. They are not even racing at Sandown today, the meeting’s at Caulfield. If this isn’t a public cry for help you’ve never seen one. You’d have to wonder how much of the $700 grand he won a couple of years ago is gone. His bookie needs to ban him. […]
Hi Archie What’s the go with the TAB & Corporates not betting on Toowoomba at 8.00 am on race day? How do they expect an old age pensioner to make a honest living? Ronnie from the Range
The Stewards at Rockhampton yesterday questioned trainer Nick Walsh about a number of significant bets that had been placed on his runner in the 2nd race Fine Shot when the early markets went up on Thursday. You might ask so what, but the reason that they asked the question is because the bets were placed […]
The punters who took $1.40 about Golly Gee Fellas in race 2 at Newcastle yesterday afternoon were left in tears after the favorite galloped out of the gate and lost all chance before the race had even begun. It was a sick beat that once more shows why you should never take the tomato sau, […]
How hard is it to read a scale of deductions table correctly? Prideofthebigfish (what a name) was $4.00 in the betting when it was pulled out of race 5 at Boweb as a late scratching on the weekend. Unless I am totally blind rather than just partuially vision impaired, that should have meant deductions of […]
I am not suggesting that 21-year-old reinsman Lucas Rando drove the even money favorite Gandalf dead in the 4th race at Newcastle last, or that his steer night was anything other than above board. I am sure that it was. But if you ever wanted to show someone how to drive a horse to get […]
