I know the feeling, I've had a couple of decent days but not in the big races.

Every Melbourne Cup my old man used to box numbers 1-10 in the big one, I've carried the legacy over since he passed away knowing he'll be watching over me and guiding the horses to victory for me.......................................I haven't even gotten close.


Are you the bloke that kept bagging me last year for picking 100% winning favourites or was it that other gronk @Booney

I'll have 2 cracks

Speaking of which: is there anyway we can stop @Bum Crack having a selection?

I thought you already did!!!

And no, I couldn't give a toss if you picked $1.01 faves, better than losing, being in a punters club any win and a carry over is welcomed.

JK wrote:Gday lads and lasses, figured I’d open up a threat to gauge interest for any that might be interested in a Cup Day Punters Club. Last years was eventful, took up most of the week, and punters got back more than double their investment, details can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=43220

Last year we went in with a fee of $50 per person and I think there was discussions at one point of upping it to $100? Doesn’t bother me either way in all honesty so will leave that to the feedback of members, first step I think is getting a show of hands from those who might be interested.

Next thing we’ll need is an account to use, preferably one that will give us a deposit match option - Anyone got a spare account (or prepared to open new) that might fit the bill?

As always, feel free to discuss any other aspects and I’m sure we’ll but something out that works for all.

Cheers,
JK

How bizarre, when I was discussing this with my brother yesterday he suggested the exact same thing.

I'm fine with the majority.

In the past it was hard to pick a winner but you got rewarded if you did. But its changed a bit since they moved one of the group 1s to the following Satdy.

$1750? What have I missed?

I guess there’s no real need for a cap, but could well have a bearing on when we commence - probably better to try and have 1 W/P bet per race rather than multiple runners per race (as we did last season)?

Also, I think I stuffed up already lol - Not the end of the world .. I should have suggested $60 per share ($50 W/P bet + $10 toward group Trifecta). Is everyone OK with this, or keep it at $50 ($40 W/P bet + $10 Trifecta per share)?
