Brodie

AllStars stable went well as usual in the big races in Cup Week, Gamma! Nathan appears to be quite cool and non flustered like his father! There did not seem to be any sign whatsoever of his former training partner, which seems very odd seem it was the biggest week in the year for harness racing in NZ! It would appear that she is back in your country Gamma?

Think Forbury is talking about laying on Betfair! You can bet against a horse winning on their exchange!

What harness racing needs nowadays obviously is to attract new punters to attend the races and also punt on all other race meetings! I haven’t had a crack on anything for probably 8 weeks or so, just can not be bothered trying to find something worth backing and then not betting enough on. Gammalites punting competition organising is appreciated muchly and the fact that I was an also ran, confirms why I prefer to watch on Cup Day! Always a great social day out for the younger ones, but most wont be back for another 365 days. Addington probably do not care too much as they must make millions on the hospitality! $70 entrance on the day for general admission is not the way to attract people to attend during the year and the hospitality packages nowadays is just daylight robbery. Yes people are paying so I suppose that it must be OK for them but surely wont entice them oncourse regularly. Were some good interviews being done on the day, and the one Unhinged did on the members queuing up and then dashing to get a table was hilarious. Some looked like they were about to have heart attacks!

Gamma, thanks for your efforts once again with competitions. Just a reminder for Brodie why he won’t normally punt on Cup Day. Well Done to Holy for getting the big one in the first. Give me Ashburton Thursday any day lol!

There is sufficient racing in Canterbury so they dont need to travel south or north nowadays! Unless you win it is going to be a losing exercise for most! Palmy is going to close in the next couple of years you would think?

No wonder I dont like Cup Day for punting! Lol Cody Banner winning over 2 miles and trotting was too hard, Kingsdown Atom I did like, but didnt put it in my picks lol otherwise I would be home for all money!

Amazing start! Well done. Punters graveyard on Cup Day

Not sure I am allowed to say it Chief, but “The Whale” has been “Out Whaled”!

Palmy yesterday what a very poor meeting. Only 6 races and wouldve run at a loss surely for the TAB? Shows how they are stuffed when Michael House isnt there!

Lol, to be fair I wouldn’t be following me on Cup Day, as I normally watch but not offload! Just too hard to be confident as they are pretty even and havent put in much effort 😂 Haven’t had a go for many weeks now and enjoying the break! Would have a serious crack at the head to heads if they gave out option no.s!

Fields as per usual on Cup Day very hard to pick and make $,but Brodie will be in due to Gammalite putting in so much effort! 1. 4 16 2. 6 11 3. 11 12 4. 11 15 5. 3 6 6. 3 12 7. 2 7 8. 5 7 9. 6 7 10. 3 7 11. 9 15 12. 3 6 good luck to everyone that is having a go tomorrow,

Richie, you seem to know him better than he does himself! Where has it been published that what you say is correct? Nowornever is probably correct in what he says, if Robert didnt have enough for a deposit in a house in Wellington before the win, he still wont have a sufficient deposit, unless he is wanting to live on the West Coast of the S.I.! His loan repayments are going to much more than the $500 per week as well! To be fair, BOAY is the Premiere Racing site nowadays!

Correct, but he may become a professional punter just doing easy bets? Thing is the $106k wouldn’t be enough for a deposit on a house, but would be ok for the garage! Good on him if it is legit!

Yes Auckland harness racing lacks excitement mostly at the best of times! However to continue to stage these mile races is just farcical! Why anyone wants to offload on any of this short distance racing is questionable?

According to the media a punter in Australia won $2.7 million by having just under $200 on a mystery Pick 4! By the look of it you pick 4 horses and they have to run first 4 and he had them boxed! He supposedly got 833% of the dividend and that was something like 332k. Who would’ve thought? Lol

Who says that they are wanting to increase turnover? If they are wanting turnover, then they are certainly needing to change policies!

Rangiora fields not opening but other meetings are on mine!

Working for Brodie, no issues! They might be onto you?

Never had a Betfair account. Had 3 accounts in Oz, but none now! They only want you if you are paying their wages, and very quick to close you down if you are not a losing punter. They are not that keen on NZ harness punters lol. It seems all betting agencies are very poor losers and either close you down or make it not worth the damn effort!

So if it was an easy bet why on earth can’t the TAB state this rather than saying it was a privacy issue ffs? Yet they can say is name is Robert ? Interesting?

Looks like marketing department been working overtime. Just seems Improvable that with the millions of possible first 4 combinations possible someone with $5 can chuck the $21 for a place runner in for third?? How many bets on that $5 spend to have a per centage of 32? Robert didn’t even know how he won? Hey at the end of the day if it is legit then good old Robert will probably be able to move out of the garage! He says he has a deposit on a house now! He certainly wouldn’t have one if he is to remain in Wellington and debt servicing might be a problem. But well done to Robert, great to have some success stories published.

So how does he win $106,000, says it was the Melbourne Cup. Had to be a percentage bet on the first 4, only way possible but seems very very dubious to me. If you were living in a garage and won $106k, I wouldnt be telling the entire country over media, and if he was on the radio this morning, who told the radio station who he was to interview him? If it is true, he has now made himself a target for anyone who knows him! Crazy!! Yeah, Privacy lol

Supposedly this Robert was on the radio this morning about winning this $106,000 on the Melbourne Cup. Percentage bet apparently on first 4! So much for privacy! Robert was so surprised that he had won $106k???? Surely he knew he had won if he watched the race?

The TAB say they cant go into further details about the bet due to privacy reasons, but confirmed the $5 bet resulted in s $106,000 prize? Why could they not disclose how the winning bet was made up of? Surely this would be beneficial for the readers and promo for the TAB? How on earth is it a breach of privacy when they have already named the homeless man from Petone as ROBERT? Robert has come out in the media saying he won this $106,000 and said he lived in a garage and yet he doesnt seem to know how he actually won this $106k? Surely having an account since he was 19, he would know how he obtained the winning $106k and wouldve been celebrating way before he looked at his account balance? Very suspicious!

Just read an article in the NZ Herald that states that this so called homeless man ROBERT, who is currently living in a garage, won $106,000 on the Melbourne Cup yesterday lol. He put $5 on his telephone account and then when he looked at his balance he had over $106,000 lol. Now they dont give his full name which is fair enough, but it is ROBERT from Petone. They do not say how he won this $106,000 by what type of bet he had placed, just that he won $106,000! Now on the face of it, this seems like an April Fools joke, but we arent in April!!! Looking at the dividends from the Melbourne Cup yesterday there is no way on earth that ROBERT from Petone, won $106,000 from any $5 bet!!!!!! I say it is BS, and totally made up by someone at the TAB for publicity!!!! The win and place divs were $9 and 3.30 for the winner 3.40 and 21.00 for second and third. the quinella 43.20 the trifecta 11,739 first 4, 333,291.10 the only way even remotely possible would be Robert the garage living punter from Petone is that he had a percentage bet but for $5 stake not possible! ! So going on those dividends there is no way on earth that any Robert from Petone won $106,000 This has to be BS and very poor from the TAB! If Brodie is wrong then will have to apologise but until such time as someone can advise me how it is possible, I say media BS!
