See that new Betting mob BetR "owned by Murdoch so I wont be going near them" Is offering 101 to 1 on any horse in the Melbourne Cup. You can only put ten on and have to bet before Derby day buy if you believe you have the winner. $10 would get you a thousand. No doubt you would have to turn your winnings over again before you can collect.

They're going to get any number of sign-ups with that offer. 

And if Rupert wants to give money away for a tenner, I'm in.  Even if it's just the one bet and then turnover the winnings

Then cash out and say goodbye!  Thanks Rupert!!

The Paulele/Anamoe double was great value at $5…should have thrown in Sydney races getting abandoned half way through the card at $1.20 for a little extra value 😀

I got that double as well, DZ

Paulele just barged it's way through like a gun horse should.  Worth following on that run.  The Everest next? 

Or maybe the $2Million Manikato where the owners don't have to worry about a $600k cost to get a slot.  About $1.2Million for the winner of the Manikato (22nd Oct)

Heard on the radio pre(Paulele) race The Everest was definitely on the cards if it won, interesting to see which way they head. Like you said it finished real strong on the inside.
Anamoe looked cooked at the bend for a little while there I thought, just gritted the teeth and got the job done. Some great racing still remains.

Golden Mile wins the Guineas ... another masterful ride by J-Mac.  James Cummings again! Too good!

I hope we get to see it past it's 3yo season.  Anamoe has raced on so why not!

Btw, Gator has tipped 6 of the 8 winners at Caulfield today ... freely available on racing.com, Sportsbet and Best Bets

The Thousand Guineas is to be run on Wednesday (back in the day it was a day off and at the Races!)

I like She's Licketysplit (3-1) but Boogie Dancer (3-1) has got very good form as well ... Tajneed at 11-1 represents excellent value

Up at Warwick Farm on Wednesday the Gloaming Stakes will be run (from the postponed meeting Saturday) ... Williamsburg has drawn wide but will come into gate 9 with all the scratchings (and it's a backmarker anyway) A serious chance at 3-1

Might be moving the Caulfield cup to Melbourne aquatic centre… said there is less water there. 😂

I've picked out a few roughies at Caulfield & Randwick.  Not sure anything is a good thing on the heavy tracks

Reckon Jacquinot can run well in the Everest ... drops down to 53kgs and is coming off a fast 1400m last start win (Golden Rose) 11.00/3.10 is good value.  Nature Strip the one to beat. Giga Kick? 

As for the Caulfield Cup, it's a wide open race so I'll take out a wide exotic bet! Benaud & Allegron big shows though.  Smokin' Romans in great form and should get into the finish.  Duais?

Polly Grey in the last race at Randwick is a big chance.  Loves the wet

I see they have now added a 101 to 1 bet on any team to win the flag next year. Max bet ten dollars. So $10 on the Dees for $1000. if they win. Might have to join just for the bonuses.

Yeah Steve,  I joined up and they then gave me a deposit match straight off (100%) ... always up for a freebie!  Who isn't?

They are also offering 20-1 for Anamoe in the Cox Plate (max $10 bet)

Certainly very aggressive and they've got Matty Campbell & James Jordon on board

I'm quite happy with Laddies but happy to cash in on promotions elsewhere

Leaning towards Alegron in the Caulfield Cup ... with the James Cummings/Godolphin polish

Managed to get 14-1 which I regard as overs.  An exotic bet as well as the dividends could be very healthy

It does look decent and it’s the top tip, I think monfifelia at 20-1 is crazy, prob drop a bonus bet there if I get one.

Heavy 9 right now with a mostly sunny day coming. Hope it gets to a soft 7 by the time the cup runs.

Go to the AFL page for the 101 ten dollar grand final bet.  I'm with Ladbrokes but manly because it so easy to deposit at the local new-agency, hate using credit cards on betting sites.

Not sure what to do today, the wet tracks are going to make it even harder. Cannot believe how short Smoking Romans is in the cup.  Did like the Waller horse No Compromise but its unloved in the betting. Might wait and see how the track plays out in the first few races.

Gee just checked the BetR page they have five markets where you can have $101 odds, Max $10 but you can have a go at each market. So $50 for $5000 if you pick the winners. A few of those markets you could cut the chances down to 5 or 6 teams. Plus the $21 odds for the Cox plate. Not sure if you have to turn the winnings over again like some betting companies.

Drawing wide (Benaud) might be the go too especially if the inside running is cut up

It's a lottery today regardless so we're sure to see a number of roughies salute in Melb & Syd

Good luck punters!

Did you grab your free $25 bonus bet from Ladbrokes today. It's more fun losing their money.

No, not for me

They do offer matched deposits sometimes (50%) but only when I don't have a winning weekend!!

Oh, thanks

Got it ... and with the 25 I've put an exotic bet on the Everest

Whilst I reckon Nature Strip will probably win (from barrier 12) the exotics can pay well if it doesn't win

If I win big I'll buy you a virtual beer!!

Asfoora looks a horse ... won the Caulfield Sprint like it was a track gallop!

Really unlucky in it's previous race at the Valley.  A definite Blackbooker

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
