Master O - the margin.

[Chattanooga]

With Master O'Reilly basically being across the line in tomorrow's race, I thought it may be interesting to field a market on the winning margin.

I think it would be reasonable if it looked something like this :

Nse > half length - $3.75
Half length > One & a half-lengths - $2.50
One & a half-lengths > 3 lengths - $3.50
3 lengths > 5 lengths - $6.00
5 lengths > 10 lengths - $14.00
10 lengths + - $41.00


Personally I would be very keen to be on 5-10 lengths @ $14.00, as I truly think he will walk in. My only concern would be that Vlad would ease up on him, but that's probably less likely in the Melbourne Cup than any other race.

The lesser margins (Nse - 3 lengths brackets) may seem a little tight in the market, but if you go back through history you will find not too many Cups are won outside these margins, so it's probably reasonably fair.

(And yes, in the incredibly unlikely case that Master O fails to win - all bets would be refunded!!!)

You forgot to put up odds about him breaking the course record and at what distance will he hit the front.

Course record - 2/1

When will he hit the lead?
700m - 50/1
600m - 30/1
500m - 20/1
400m - 12/1
300m - 5/4
200m - 3/1
100m - 100/1
Right on the line - 1000/1


I will take 5 to 10 lengths thanks.

What a moronic thread, I assume you are taking the mickey 'Ron'?

I'm on Master O'Reilly and I hope should he win, that Vlad Duric is finally given the respect eh deserves as a jockey. To suggest however, that a horse is ever across the line the day before a Melbourne Cup is an absolute joke.

Don't talk shit when you put up crap like this dweedledumb. You must be angry losing your shack on Master O.

He was extremely disappointing.

But how pathetic are you? How did you even know I'd posted that basically ignored thread? You obviously trawl through everything on here hoping for the chance to sling some mud. Weak.

Very, very weak.

I'm actually attempting to stick a mirror in your face and see your own hypocrisy you clearly are blind and beyond help.

Why do you go around bagging everyone Haywood, horse racing is fun and you turn it nasty towards a few people. I think the result was funny and in case your brain doesn't realise, we were both taking the piss..... I shouldn't even need explain that.... anyway.....

 

[Chattanooga]

Spot on, Ron.

It is all about enjoyment, airing your opinion's, and having a laugh about it afterwards.

Sometimes you're right, more often you're not!!!

Was my post ridiculous? Clearly it was. Was it meant to be taken as such? Clearly (to most) it was!!

The Melbourne Cup is never won before it's run.

When was the las time a horse won it by 5-10 lengths anyways????
