          You're referring to taking risks. Not all risks taken are gambles. Gambling refers to taking risks with negative expected returns. In the long run gamblers always lose because probabilities even out.

          Successful people take risks with positive expected returns. In the long run they provide gains.

      I know it might seem nice to have a day (or an afternoon) off work to wear nice clothes and have an event. But I don't think we need to abuse, torture and let these horses suffer just for our entertainment.

    Only the owners and maybe the jockeys know who's going to win.

    • You forget the pollies too…

    Is there a deadpool on which horses will be shot on the track or suffer perfectly naturally heart attacks?

    This celebration of animal cruelty for the rich has overstayed its welcome.

      This, my sure bet is that a horse will get a "broken leg" that "can't be fixed" and it will get lead for dinner. Shit "sport".

      • not enough steroids

      had 50 each way so about $800 win, pretty stoked

      • Nice. I didn't pick a winner in all of the races I bet on. Lost just under $200.

    • Any tips for tomorrow?

    Get on the Pointsbet offer of Constantinople first 10 @ $3, max bet $25
    Also like Vow and Declare and a few others, I don't normally bet but $50 over a few horses for Melbourne cup why not. Free burger will help to soften the blow of any losses :P

  • Get on the 8!

    If you have spare 100k, ask our mate, Tom Waterhouse

    • I'm having brunch with him this Saturday, worth every cent.

    Constantinople will start favourite with a flood of $$$$$$$$$ still to come . Currently $9.80 Betfair I expect close to $8 starting price there

    Normally a battle of sneaking a European low weighted horse under the guard of the handicappers nose .

    Can't i just bet that all the horses will have a fun time?

    • +3

      I don't like those odds.

    Usually pick the horse with the best sounding name. Worked with cross counter last hopefully works with Constantinople

  • If you don't place a bet you are sure to come out ahead of most people who do bet.

  • Late $$$$$$ 18 + 23 especially 18 Surprise Baby .

  • 9 late 15 mins 130 into 50 .

    all of the sudden at this time of the year everyone is a horse racing expert

    • untrue, most people just don't ask for tips any any other point in the year

      • that's because most people are not interested in horse racing till this time of the year

  • The bookies were killed BF SP $8.13 Favourite :)

    5 mins before start $13.5

  • any tips for the oaks day races tomorrow? don't really want to start another thread.

  • Won $13 from a $1 bet choosing 'Vow and Declare' to win with BetEasy!

    I should have bet at least $10 for a win of $130
