Expensive lesson.

First race I lined up a $24 Trifecta but accidentally put it on for $240. Of course they ran 1st, 2nd and 4th. Thankfully my rage punting with the remaining $60 got a bit of it back.

My rage punting consisted of deleting the app and banning myself for 5 years.

Labor will move to ban second-hand dealers operating at gambling venues after learning a business is setting up mobile stands next to pokies and paying cash on-the-spot for valuables.

Hallmark Jewellers has been advertising it will be at pokies venues on certain dates, buying everything from gold teeth to gold watches and paying cash instantly.

For example, one advertisement for an event at The Village Tavern at Golden Grove – which has 40 pokies – spruiks “CA$H FOR GOLD JEWELLERY - any quantity, any condition”.

The ad states Hallmark will be at the venue between 9am and 3pm: “No appointment is necessary, just attend between those hours. We will assess the gold jewellery you offer us in front of you and pay you on the spot”.

Hallmark are also advertising on their Facebook page events at venues including the Grand Central Tavern at Elizabeth – which has 40 pokies.

In response, Labor will move to introduce legislation as soon as possible. The Statutes Amendment (Prohibition on Second-Hand Dealers in Gaming Venues) Bill 2020 will ban second hand goods being bought and sold at a licensed gaming venue.

Labor has brought this matter to the attention of Attorney-General Vickie Chapman, however she dismissed the Opposition’s concerns, saying the venue “does not appear to have been in breach of their obligations”.

Have a chat to them, explain what happened, I have a feeling you might at least get some of the amount back in bonus bets especially if you have never gambled that amount before with them. They will know your history.

If they know my history they would assume it was a matter of time before they got that money anyway. Ack.
