It is all starting to sound very dodgy. An assault and a car being torched down at Connewarre, unpaid bills for horses and payments to tax havens in Bermuda! Promises of 25% returns on punting? A sensible person wouldn't go near it unless you are interested in tax avoidance, money laundering or alternatively you are just plain stupid?

In Don's case it could just be the latter.

Yeah, I reckon when a couple hundred million bucks suddenly disappears there's always room to suspect something dodgy just happened.

Hopefully, this will have no effect whatsoever on the price of bananas.

    Well I suppose it is only just starting to look dodgy because most of us had never heard of this punters club until this week. The price of bananas is dependent on quite different criteria I think. Maybe climate in the key growing areas, who knows I am not an expert. Maybe TGP you can inform us of more detail on the punters club and what determines the price of bananas?

    Let's see .. A big punter's club with links to Bermuda has either a lot of monkeys on the payroll, or a rather large demand for catering. Either way, they have a large standing order for bananas (say 5,000 a week). When the collapse happens, so does the demand for bananas, leaving an oversupply of cheap bananas for this thread to consume. Simples! :lol:

    This sounds very appealing to me

    I think there is a lot more to come on this subject Redleg.

    It will be the subject for a very good story when all is revealed over the next couple of years.

    Spot on od. A lot more to come on this. The $5m suffering colt being bitten by the spider may be a little karma for BC3.

    Was it a spider H_T?

    Apparently the horse will never race, just as every vet said at the sales. Oh, the purchaser's vet was the only one to say low risk, when all the others said high risk, due to knee issues.

    Now we hear the owners paid BC3 for their shares in the horse, but the money wasn't passed on to the Sales Company, which retains the ID papers. Can't race even if it was able to, can't be sold. Owners would be happy.

    i don't understand redleg

    if every other potential buyer's vets were against it, how come the price reached $5M?

    wouldn't this indicate there was some spirited bidding?

    otherwise shouldn't bc3 have got him for a song?

    So they went around the bend before they were forced to split with all the smoothies they could ever consume in a life time.

    But on a serious note, any business built on greed and poor governance will always end ib a burning heap. Just as our friends at MessyDrugs will soon find out.

    I remember a conversation with one of my ex staff who was a jockie who said "the racing industry is corrupt". If his comment is true they you would expect this type of thing to happen.

    Anyway I have another chance of retirement tonight, 50 million Draw or so I was told.

    Any industry that has lots of cash floating around attracts the interest of crooks TBF

    Add in the human frailty of greed and guess what people lose their money.

    I am constantly reminded of that saying "If it looks to good to be true it usually is"

    As usual I agree with your comments

    It is concerning that gambling is allowed to flourish in the sporting and commercial environment's

    But at the end of the day fools will always lose their money

    IMO you get nothing for free in this world

    Not sure but he would be an excellent replacement for their sacked thug/sniper Wallace.

    Damn all my early retirement plans have again come to a quick end.

    No one won the 50 million Oz Lotto last night.

    So it back to work for me.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
