My mate Dave (TAB owner) told me the same bloke put $2,000 on them the day before too.

"Australia’s largest corporate bookmaker, Sportsbet, has been fined more than $13,000 over its failure to intervene when a new customer went on a 24-hour betting spree in 2019.
...
The commission found Sportsbet failed to intervene until the customer reached the group’s “red flag” threshold of depositing more than $20,000 in a single month, a milestone he reached the week he opened the account.
...
The commission found that although Sportsbet did eventually take the correct action, it failed to escalate the consumer behaviour quickly enough, resulting in thousands of dollars in losses for the customer.
...
Sportsbet makes up about 50 per cent of the Australian betting market. Flutter- the wagering giant which owns Sportsbet- reported an annual profit in 2022 of $1.5 billion."

$2.10 the place for 2nd, no damage done. Cup is the last race so I'll do some weeding around the house until then. I must have a billion weeds to pull... yay.Skids wrote:Darwin Cup today and I like old Dicky Leech's horse, Write Your Name at $8.
He has a few others throughout the day, his runner in the 1st, Prince Of Mercia should be too good for the others and get you off to a winning start to the day.
Don't count the days, make the days count.

Tightened up to 5/1 before they jumped. Hope it was Nicksters jumping on board!!??
Cleaned up very, very nicely today. The quaddie capping a wonderful day.
Old Dick gets 3 winners & a 2nd from 5 runners and goes home very heavy in the pockets. Not only trains the 3 winners, but part owns them all too. Over $200k just in prize money... the old fox would have probably won that on the punt as well.

When Kelly won the GF package at Crown a couple of weeks ago, I went straight to the TAB and backed it to be a Collingwood v Brisbane GF @ $5.50.
I've also had a small wager on it being a Collingwood v Carlton GF @ $16.
Put some Norm Smith bets on too;
JDG @ $15
Josh @ $34
Steele @ $101
Cox @ $101
Bruz @ $251
Nick is favourite @ $7

I like one at odds today at Flemington.
Race 8 #14 - Life Lessons @ 25/1.
The lightly raced 5yo looks well placed in this.
The toppy, Amelia's Jewel (my pick for the Cox Plate) is a very good horse, but, 1st up, from the outside gate with 58.5kg isn't value at the $1.80 for mine. I wouldn't be surprised if she does win, but I'd rather take the 14 at juicy E/W odds.
First 4 - 1, 2, 4, 6, 7 & 14 all ways.
