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?

also operated without receipts, just trust apparently

does make you wonder doesn't it

could be just plain greed

"Could be" dc!

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

Nice pun there, TBF, as is your bent ... :-)

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.

Some houses are sold at inflated prices when there is only one genuine bidder too dc.

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

That's what was reported at the time and ever since old dee. Including todays articles.

No paperwork provided to participants. Wonder if the guy worked at Essendon.

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

Missed training due to work. Enjoyed reading the reports. Last chances before xmas appear to be friday and monday.

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
