    Cheers, made a nice little collect from him.

    Max Dynamite ruined me collecting 6% of the FF. I had him leading and thought he would get pressured out of it.

    I did, but only got a lousy 1% - but the bet only cost me $14.40 - so all good.

    First proper collect on a cup in a number of years!

    the cup turns people nuts..a mate was helping out at the dog swamp TAB and a bloke had $100 on every runner, then came back and had the same bet but excluding horses 1 & 2...
    what would possess u to have such a stupid bet?

    People who don’t understand math or horse racing falc.

    Rekindling paid 17.1 on tote (assuming he didn’t select fixed) so by my calculations that guy’s stupidity cost him $980.

    Maybe he ran some sort of sweep type competition on where every person who draws a horse has $100 win bet as their prize.
    Or maybe he likes to flash the winning ticket to brag how he backed the winner ?

    My Mum picked the tri, in order.

    She filled in 5 tickets; 5 x 5 on the first 3 horses, boxed them for the quinella for 340% and a full divvy on the tri.... all collects, just a tad over $3.5k.
    Her biggest collect in a long time. Go Mum!

    Well done Skids mum Skids can you ask mum to join the forum and put up her tips ( the only way I am going to back a winner at the moment) that's a great effort

    My Dad just had his biggest win ever on the Melbourne Cup. He wanted to share his winnings with all and sundry. Emotional for me. Rio knows where I am at here.
