Platinum Scissors is currently 78th in order of entry for the Melbourne Cup.

The horse MUST win the Victoria Derby to gain a start in the Cup.

How then is it possible for the following Derby/Melb. Cup doubles combinations to be offered by TAB Sportsbet???

Helenus/Platinum Scissors $52
Davidoff/Platinum Scissors $115
Ain't Here/Platinum Scissors $170

The list goes on.

If Platinum Scissors wins the Derby, it's a losing bet. If Platinum Scissors loses the Derby, it's a losing bet because the horse won't qualify for the Cup.

Am I missing something here or is this one of the biggest rip offs the TAB has tried to pull.

They must think punters are ignorant and uneducated. Then again, that's how they make their money. (The Davidoff/Plat Scissors price is in from $140 a few days ago. Now that's smart money).

Another example of why the TAB will NEVER EVER lose.
