Woooohooo I won $70, that will get me to the next suburb in petrol money!!!!
:fantastic: I won too i didnt bet this year as ive lost for the last 8 years :drink:
won the trifecta for 33%..........paid $300 instead of the usual $3000+ :toetap:
Won the 1st 4 for 1%...........lost some as the payout needed to be more than $8000.
Oh well, I'm a couple of bucks up on the day.
Picked "Shocking - Americain - Shootout" .. thought that those three nags would make a great headline in the morning if they had of all won...... sorta like reading the USPS's social club report .. .. but at least $20 each way brings in some beer money for a change....!...:drink:
Except a shootout at the USPS wouldn't be that shocking.
Bet $25 for win and $25 for a place on Americain and was jumping for joy as they came down the home straight.
Also had $50 for a win and a place on the favourite so I came out collecting $502.50.
First time I've ever won in the Melbourne Cup!!!
Melbourne Cup should be a public holiday, Australia wide. The whole country stops at 12 anyway!!!
only follow nags on cup day and i always pick 3 horses which this year were Americain and Myluckyday (something like that) and shootout.
But right in the middle of the race my phone rings with an enquiry on a house. The whole of Australia was watching Channel 7 except for this 1 person (what a pita).
Sounds like a few club members had a good day and well done topless69
Thanks Sell4U, I normally pick donkeys but not this year!!!
I guess my luck had to change eventually!
Went ta kembla Garnge as usual for the Melbourne Cup and let me tell ya the fillies at around the track was the eye opener:gotya::gotya::gotya::gotya::gotya::gotya:
