Newmarket Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I know the lads got the $810k multi that they put $300k on. But let us know investment versus return at end of day, ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeynz Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Think after race completed they may have nose in front, their big double with legato though has gone west. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't they also take a combo offer Orchestral Top 6 with something else? I guess the way it's written it seems to be $1.50. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are saying they only received 50% of their invested money, some are saying they made 50% on invested money, I have no idea. Not sure if they changed a few bets and they were not updated on TAB, or what. But plenty of confused punters out there….for mine surprised so many are moaning, most would have only contributed a few bucks. I wasn’t in it, but go the BGP team, anyone that can get 850 to the races deserves the kudos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curious Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 They got back 1/2 their original investment, not a 50% profit. 7:30pm Total bets placed: $1,908,323.15 Starting balance: $1,196,647 Current balance: $598,323.50 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGP will always struggle to make a profit by having multiple bets in every race. I think on a couple of occasions they were betting against themselves.

Ronaldo Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Can say I put in $ 100 and got $ 50 back. But a good day's entertainment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not knocking them at all as they can run there punters club how they like bit there did seem to be a couple of strange bets at times. Ronaldo has the right attitude about it, an afternoon’s entertainment and half your money back isn’t a terrible result. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at screenshot I pasted, $599k on the winner of the last at $3.60? That is what everyone is asking about, seems some are saying TAB wouldn’t take that bet on… so changed to what you posted.

Doomed Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Bit bizarre posting a near $600,000 bet on the winner of the last and then saying "no, we didn't actually do that, changed our mind" Can you change a fixed odds bet like that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeynz Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 BG0 would have done nicely if they had of stuck to just win and top 2 3 4 bets but the TAB will love them. This is the thing with punters clubs, they seem to want to want multis, and most of them come up short. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Bro Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Michael Guerin says that Boys Get Paid started with $1.2m and lost $600,000. Then he says most who played along lost $30. I suspect that calculation is done by taking $600,000 and dividing it by the 17,000 BGP membership number ($35/member). I doubt all the members took part in their punters club. I think the loss per member in the punters club was therefore considerably more than $30. Guerin also says no punters were significantly harmed in the making of this noisy circus at Ellerslie. I take issue with that claim as well. Many of the BGP members are betting big and talking big. The frienzied atmosphere encourages others to do the same (bet to excess). These people are betting on every race. Their punters club ticket money is not the only money they are putting through the chaff cutter. Guerin needs to keep his fingers crossed that no one involved in the regulatory oversight of responsible gambling ever ventures into their BGP room. If such a person were to walk over to where money is being withdrawn with EFT-POS cards, they will see the same people coming back time and time again for more money. I hazard a guess that more than a few of them are losing their shirts. I remember a trainer's wife, one who didn't like horse racing, telling me that those involved in racing start out in love with horses. Then if becomes all about the money and they couldn't care about the horses. I think BGP short circuits this process and its all about money and betting right from the start. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newmarket Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 It seems the word on the BGP page is that they never placed that win bet in the last, was never posted on their BGP site? Stated that a TAB staffer put on TAB site….which was wrong??? Mmm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
