Good job on the Bush bet La Mer. I should have touted it for you, but had no idea that there was betting in Oz on the U.S. election. In the Americas, we have our own pool for Aussie racing. Talk about a wild odds swing! One that opened at 99-1 may very well end up as the barrier jump favorite. I have placed a win bet on a horse at 27-1, then after my runner won the race, I found it got bet down to 12-1 evidently just seconds before the jump. Even more frustrating when your 8-1 bet ends up at 8/5. On the postive side, our poor knowledge of Aussie racing sometimes gives us a glorious 55-1 or so winner that was merely medium odds in Oz. In fact, in many Oz races we could bet 5 or 6 runners to win and still make a profit. The exotics in Oz from our pool pay very generously compared to same odds horses at a U.S. track. I have seen two 3-1 shots run 1-2 that generated a $50 quinella. ($2 bet)

I suppose wherever you live there are pros and cons gambling wise. Good luck to all members here.


Regards,

Glenn
