No Thoroughbred racing today, so I was thinking, that when you DO have a bet, who do you normally bet with?
If you go to the track, do you mainly bet with one of the on course bookies, the tote, or Corporate bookies?
Do you bet with people like Palmer Bet, or Blue Bet,whose owners operate on the rails in Sydney?
Do you use the Best Bookies web site to have a bet?
Do you bet on the Betfair site?
Or do you bet with a combination of these.
I'm specifically asking, what you do if you go to the track, not what you do when you are betting from home.
Having posed those questions, my next question is, when betting whether on track or from home, of all the bookies, on track, Corps, TAB fixed odds,the Best Bookies web site, or Betfair, which one/ones do you find to be the best, and which ones would you never utilise or bet with again, and why?
Just one more.
Have you ever taken a multiple with a Corp and been "fleeced".
Example, you take a quaddie with one of them, it pays $400,000 with the Tote, you expect a similar amount from your Corp, only to discover they have a $250,000 payout limit in the very fine print, of which you were totally unaware.

Think a Miller was the trainer or jockey, maybe Joe, not there fault had every chance.
Coming to think of it, might have given him too much.

Reinvigorate tote betting - national pool and drop takeout rate and punters will return in droves.
What they lose in reduction of takeout rate will be made up with much higher turnover and punters reinvesting - the name of the game. Get the tote punter back - it’s tired and almost obsolete.

George Kenway, I’m the same, just vaguely recall, whereas the others we knew like the back of our hand.
The number of them especially in Group Racing over the years - uncanny.
Just a few off the top of the noggin -
Prince Of Penzance
Boom Time
Taufans Melody
Gatting ( good one boys ).
Lunar Fox
Abaridy - was that the Caulfield Guineas winner at 250/1 many years ago ?

What was the name of that horse won the Emirates about ten years ago - was 200/1 or something.
The Toorak Handicap could throw up a few bolters too.
And keep going...there’s at least another 50 of them! Never seen a place with so many outsiders salute but that’s better than $1.20 chances in eight horse fields going around.
Think Empire Rose ( champion huge NZ mare ) was about 66/1 in a McKinnon and won then a few days later started favourite in the Melbourne Cup and won that too.
Most thought will just have a nice pipe opener into the Cup but she went bang at the clickety click to one. Those Kiwis..could be sneaky.
