For mine I'll stick with the best chances on revealed form.
Leg 1. 2-3-12-13-14
Leg 2. Octrivia-Another Duke-Nashor-Lunch Money.
Leg 3. Pietro Vannucci-True Brew
Leg 4. Liqueur-Destina.
$40-00/50c. unit.

Must say I didn't expect the blow out to be that big.
The TAB will declare a dividend of $237,000-00 here and mislead an unsuspecting public into thinking that someone actually collected that amount.
I have always believed this to be a very dishonest practice, false advertising in fact.
If the minimum unit investment on a quadrella is 50c., why is the dividend declared for $1-00 or twice the minimum bet allowed.
How long before they take it one step further and declare win divs. for $2-00 and make it sound really good.
How can you honestly say an investment has returned $237,000-00 when there is only $118,500-00 in the pool.
The pool was actually $148,000-00 before the 20% was deducted and someone has collected $118500-00 (approx.) for a 50c. unit. (1 winner only)
Good work if you can do it.
