Put it this way,The Melbourne Cup is just another day on the punt.I have probably had a bet on every track in Australia (horses,dogs,trots)....have had some nice wins,but would be well down over the years.
Where I have done well is on the football,taken many a dollar off magpie mates,many a dollar,did well this year on the Ess/Briz g.f quinella,nice collect,did very well the day richmond beat carlton on s hitvagni`s 300th,nice collect.Done well off the Norm smith medal as well...got shannon grant,andrew mcleod x2 and dean kemp,probably way up on football bets,but way down when it comes to horses,always pay the bills though and have enough to shout the wife out for dinner.pokies can go and get stuffed,shocking things,refuse to go near them.
