What? No Melbourne Cup thread?

[Gar]

cant have that

so whats everybody betting on?

I'm thinking I might go Sirmone each way and a couple of long shots, sarrera & blue moon

 

[tech/a]

Sirmone---Cummings is cunning.
Efficient.

Come along to the Wellie in North Adel tech and a bunch of us college boys will show you how to lose money

I dont think I have ever won anything on a horse race. I would have more luck throwing darts at a stock page and betting on them.

tis bloke says that this Master OReilly
is a bat outta hell and he's hot
it's the same bloke that secretly told me
that Danny OBrien's a Scot

 

[Jack_Junior]

Zipping is the one to beat ladies and gents !

Backed him at 50/1 a few months back on Sportsbet !!

I can't make any money through IRL so I thought I'd sell all my stock and plonk it on Zipping

Happy punting

I'm hopeless myself.

Although 2 yrs ago I boxed 7 and picked up the Trifecta at $7200.
I also had the pick 4 in that lot but at $1500 odd didnt take it.

it paid $42,000!!

 

[imajica]

Master O'Reilly
Princess Coup

 

[Gar]

My sisters fiance just got me to put $20 on Black Tom :horse:

 

[Gundini]

I think this years cup is fairly ordinary.

Big money could be made if you are lucky enough to pick the First 4.

I'm going wide looking for value:

Princess Coup
Mahler
Purple Moon
Lazer Sharp
Dolphin Jo
Douro Valley

Throw in the rest of the field and you would have to be some sort of chance this year...

 

[Nyden]

Purple Moon
Zipping
Efficient

Got bets on all 3, place of course!

Hasn't been a year yet I haven't gotten my money back or trippled it

Princess Coup from Master O'Reilly.
Shame cause I liked Gallic as well.
Nothing like the sound of 22 thoroughbreds galloping down the back straight for the first time. Music to my ears

 

[cuttlefish]

Mahler and Tungsten Strike are the ones I'll be losing my dough on today.

 

[JimBob]

Im on Purple Moon, Maybe Better, Zipping and Dolphin Jo for the win.
Efficient, Zipping and Purple Moon for my trifecta.

 

[Who Dares Wins]

The cup is the only horse race I bet on.

I put $10 for a place on master oreilly and couldn't resist Tungsten strike - what with a name like that.

 

[krisbarry]

I have $50 on (11) Master O Reilly for a place, paying $2.20 at the moment

 

[adobee]

i just read on the smh that a horse fell over and they shot in front of the crowd... thats always a kiddie pleaser..

I dont normally bet but as I have finally got onto my centrebet account after having to try for an hour to work out the login and password.. I now
have bets on Lazer Sharp & Zipping to Win
Zipping, master oriley and princess as my trifecta..

Today every movement in share price will be attributed to the Melbourne Cup. If shares go up, it is because the big sellers are on holiday. If shares go down it means the big buyers are on holiday.
