MELBOURNE CUP DAY

You can do either of the following:

OPTION 1
Simply bet as we have been doing so far (5 $10 races OR 3 $10 races & 1 $20 race) with of course one of your races being the Melbourne Cup.

OPTION 2
Bet the whole $50 on the Melbourne Cup. Still a maximum of $20 bet on any one horse though.

Whichever option you choose, you CAN have EACH-WAY or PLACE betting on the Cup.

I will be back with my bets later but i want to make a bold statement now and say Media Puzzle will not run in the first 5

MELBOURNE CUP
Makybe Diva -20W

GREAT WESTERN
Creative Plan-10W

HONG KONG JOCKEY CLUB PLATE
Landsdown House-10W

FELTEX CARPETS WELTER
CAUVERY-10W

REGARDS
WILL

I agree but i reckon first 8

Chuck,
You've got $60 worth of bets there and you didn't have a scratching on Saturday.

Shaun,
I'm not sure that's really a bold statement. If you said that Makybe Diva and Vinnie Roe wouldn't finish in the top 5, that would be a bit of a bold statement.

cup grey song 20win
mr1 no7 blastfromthepast 10win
mr2 no4 sir pentire 10win
mr9 no3 broadband

G'day Sportznut,
I'm still pretty new to this board. Here's my picks:

MR R2 #11 ARCTIC SILVER $10W
MR R3 #8 SWEETNESS 'N LIGHT $10W
MR R5 #2 ROADHOG $10W
MR R7 #5 MAKYBE DIVA $10W
MR R8 #2 STAMEN $10W

Best of luck to everyone betting on the Cup tomorrow. Have a good one.

Melbourne Cup: Vinnie Roe $10

MR 2: #9 Tingirana $10
MR 3: #9 Bruges $10
MR 4: #3 Social Glow $10
MR 9: #11 Via De Lago $10

Silver_and_sand,

You've made just one post. I'd say that makes you VERY new! :smile:

Anyway, since you've missed most of the comp, unfortunately you have to start at -$400, but don't worry about that. Just have some fun and try to pass as many tipsters as you can over the next couple of weeks. :smile:

purpleheart i think it is 50.00 in total for sportz bets?

Yep. That's right.

I'm working out the results now. Makybe Diva was quite a popular choice.

I choked Sportznut. I only really liked Plastered and Alinghi and I thought Alinghi would win by lengths so I had the $40 win on it. The previous two weekends gave the kitty a decent boost though. It looks like I could only pick scratchings on Cup day (Sunday shoes, Solar Antiquity and Rate of Knots). Seems I will have $80 to spend next tipping comp day.

Raider,

That's tomorrow, if you wish to tip then. It's not compulsory to tip tomorrow though and there's no penalty if you don't, so you can keep the $80 for Saturday if you wish.
