Time to step up to the plate i guess.
First name Andrew, 22 yo Graphic Designer from Melbourne.
Starting with the name-My mate ordered the Tyson v Holyfield Pay per view quite a few years back and i remember hearing Evandfer "The Real Deal" Holyfield being called out. Since then i have started my own nickname for all forums and even among mates i am known as "deal".
My first winner i ever remember picking was Juene in the 1994 Melb Cup. My dad used to act as SP bookie while we were at a Melb Cup gathering and it was always $1 each way and he would pay tote odds. But once old enough to "really" gamble i remember my first ever winner was not all that long ago, I remember watching a horse ruinning in the bush somewhere and notching up its 5th or 6th race win in a row. It finally came to melb and happened to be running at Flemington. Its name "Starcraft", Paying $35 it was last around the home turn-even went out of camera. But sure enough, on cue put in a massive finishing burst and left me cheering and the local TAB stunned.
Keen sportsman, AFL my main go but love my golf(Been as low as 4 but off 5-6 during footy season) Gave cricket up after juniors finished as i hated fielding with a passion.
Member at Flemington so attend every meeting throughout spring and autumn and try my best during footy season but very tough as Saturdays is game day.
Currently single and trying with a bit of luck with Melbournies finnest fillies.
