Man I have just came off the best day I have ever had. Went to the TAB with $260. Hoping I could improve a bit. Only went for the Flemington races.

Rocked up in the second race. Chucked $20 on a place for Vitesse Dane. Coming in with good form i thought it would get second or third with Benko the one too beat. Looked good the whole way. Got second and picked up $124. Right now I am stoked, and was over the moon.

I now got around $380 in my pocket. And quickly had a look at the third race. Bay Story + Siamun caught my eye in all honesty so I chucked $20 e/way on both. They ran second and third. And definatley thought Bay Story would win coming into the straight. But still came out about even..actually made $2.

In the Pocket: $386

I threw a couple back and here i was started off well, looking to what was going to be a tough race to bet on. We (5 of us) decided to take a push on Storm Signal, Pasiketera and Funlove. They all decided to box quinella but me, I just chucked $80 e/way on Pasiketera, $15 on the win for Funlove and $30 e/way on Storm Signal. This was probably my make or break race, if i came out on top, I would be huge and although, i would be shouting drinks all round. and ******** ME!! Storm signal + Pasiketera run 1st and 2nd. They boys are all over the moon and so am I. And it was best case, Storm Signal won it.

In the wallet: $973

Now this was yet again and a tough race to look at. I got dared to chuck $300 each way on my pick. Which I took up the bet as they promised me 5 beers each, which I never ended up getting btw. I chucked it on Centopath and it finished ********en 4th. I was full shattered. All the boys throwing me ********. But then we noticed a protest and I started given it back. And Halelujah it ********ing finished 3rd. OH BABY I WAS EXCITED!!!

Got $1022 back from my $600 so I still had $1395.

Race 6 - I ********ed up. Should've went with Flame of Sydney but went bianca. Luckily only $40 e/way.

$1315.

Race 7 - My bet was Maybe Better as it has been all year. chucked $100 on the win and $250 on the place. I thought it would win but wasn't confident. So i went the safe way. I thought it would get 2nd behind Tawqeet. Lucky i didn't get on Tawqeet :D. So yeh, it ran 3rd and i was getting used to the thought of chucking it all on Polar Bear e/way. But I was still thinking about that one at the time. My mates had all lost $100 on the day and were starting to get ********ty. ******** em i thought, they aren't going anywhere for a while yet.

I took it out to count and in my hand was $1920...and by my calculations right now I should've had $1940, i'm not sure where that went ;) :o

Race 8 - The biggest bet of the day. The whole TAB made a push for it and after we bet on it, it came in 30c..so we were all happy. I put $600 e/way. And if this won, I would literally have enough money to travel the world. I got it at $3, so pretty much i had never yelled so loud in my life. I thought it was gone, but won it well late and i went up to the tab with $720 and came back with $3425..

One more bet i thought. I decided i would spend $250. So, all my mates were trying to lend a hand, but i wasn't taken a bone of it. Cocinero it was, it used to be top class i thought, and while it has dropped a few bars in class, if it got it right in the barrier it would win. I chucked it all on the nose and i rode it all the way. It looked good but Baritone was coming with it and OMG!! it won. It won like a muther ********er. Got back $1800 and finished the day with $5225

Profit $4,965.


If i ever have another day like this I may take up proffesional gambling.

this was only the second time this spring i had came out on top out of the 5 times i had a wager. But this time, i wasn't only on top by $30.

man i am still stoked.

but i already entered it in to shares lol. I am staying home tonight and will go out next weekend with it when i withdraw it out of my shares.

Great story.
Funny how the more beers you drink the bigger the bets get.;)
I only picked 2 winners today but only had 5 bets and Polar Bear was my biggest bet of the day so yeah i was cheering along with you mate.
I had Royal Ascher in the first but was far too conservative with it. Had I had a few beers in me I would have hit it a little harder as it was my second best pick of the day.
 
Great story.................................................... theres no way i would put $600 eachway on a horse :D :D

Dont you mean for everyday like this you will have a thousand bad ones.


Exactly. There have been days where i have backed winner after winner and won thouasands and felt i could do no worng. But i have also encountered weeks on end, maybe 30-40 bets without a collect, where everything that possibly could go wrong with something i backed did go wrong. Enjoy your winnings, but just remember a day like that will happen maybe two or three times in a decade.
 
Also had my best day for a long long time yesterday. Put my bets on in the morning totalling $400, then watched all the races at a mates place. Collects for the day were, got the quaddie for 17.2% (shared), my share was $1,450 (my friend picked the two roughies) $100 place on Maybe Better $390 and l laid Yeats on Betfair for a $100 collect.
 
Dude you got balls to bet like that. This'll sound like i'm a hero saying this, but i earn very good money in my business, but the most i reckon i could bet in a horse would be $200. Any more and i'd go to water, if it lost i'd just be too devestated and down, i'd just think it was wasted money big time.
Having said that, i have shares in 2 horses, set me back over 10 grand, and i'm thinking of possibly getting in to another one soon. Makes sense eh.

This does not add up.
