No I don't live in Victoria but I bet only on Victorian racing.
I can't explain my fixation with exotic betting except that you tend to get hooked.
I once collected $3300-00 for a $12-00 outlay and have been dabbling ever since.
I don't outlay huge amounts on this form of betting hence the continuing frustration at regularly going close but almost always missing out.
Today I had Alto Adige, Erskine Bay and Balla Marie 1st leg, Kildonan Road, Grand Legend and I Do Blue 2nd leg, Danzigs Delight, Pharsna Mugwump and Beetoo 3rd leg into North Alert one out. Cost, $18-00/50c unit.
Another fixation I have is trifecta betting.
If I could show you the list of long priced winners I have had over the years and never collected a cent because of missing the places in correct order, you would have me locked up.( usually outlay $10-00-$20-00 with 2 selections to win and other combinations for 2nd and 3rd.)
I often think I will have to take a break and come back a reformed win only bettor.
