How rigged is racing? It's gambling...say no more. I love this Waterhouse v Singo spat. The 'bet with your head, not over it' man Waterhouse is more or less saying that Andrew Johns lied to Aussie Singo. Joey and House both work at 9 on the footy. Watch this space.

Looks like the Waterhouses could be in the shit again for replacing More Joyous with Wazn.

:lol::lol:

And Gai could also be in trouble with a grade 3 Shoulder charge on Singo.

:lol::lol:

I love a good brouhaha..

The fact that it's the Waterhouse's copping it is a bonus..

LOL... Loving it too. Not a fan of any of them.

The source for Singo is supposed to be a former group 1 jockey.

I'm at a loss how Tom's business has taken off. I still have memory of the 'Fine Cotton' investigation involving the Waterhouse family. I couldn't punt with him even though he wasn't involved.

I can't disagree with Singo though that there is a conflict of interests between Gai's training and Tom's gambling business. I often hear he has specials on her horses probably to ease punters fears of his knowledge. It will be interesting to see where this goes now.

It will be interesting to see the impact on share prices for the other players as a result of this spat.

Tom has one friend, his Lawyer bringing a case against Singo for defamation.

 

[Sphagnum]

Doesn't matter what happens. Singo just said what everyone has been thinking.

Massive conflict of interests and it appears that some people have too big a mouth to be trusted with information.

Singleton will drag him through the mud if he wants to lawyer up and take it further. He has lots and lots of friends that widdle Tommy will never have.

The deal he has on Gai's horses seems dodgy anyway.

He refunds bets for people who back a horse that is beaten by one of her's.

If you were a punter I reckon you might consider not betting on Gai's horses given that you can win either way. If you back another horse and it wins, you win. If she wins, you get your money back anyway. I'm no punter so I don't know, but that seems like it might be slightly advantageous to back another horse, especially if you were torn between Gai's and another.

And if it is turning people off backing her horses, even slightly, that could be improving her odds. And everyone knows that trainers/connections back their own horses.

Racing isn't rigged but you have to know which one to bet on. Honestly I never touch under $2 favourites anyway, waste of time. Although must say last weekend was good anyway- had All To Hard on track at $3, so I took that, and had the winner in the Sydney Cup. Also had Missy (whatever the name was) just for a laugh in the first at 25-1. So I did have a good Saturday.

Bottom line, you pick $2 favourites, you deserve to lose.

Oh ok, did you also go 1-out in each leg of the big six?

Let me guess, you nabbed it too!

Sleaziest 'sport' in the world.

When I walk into a tab, all I smell is stale beer & lost dreams.

I won on 4 races, didn't bet on the others. It is all about knowing what races represent value, and knowing when to not bother about betting. Betting just 'because' there is a race on is not smart. All Too Hard was my 'saver', knew it would win, was the classiest horse of the day, so even if I lost the other 3 (which I was lucky didn't happen), I would have been around even. Never do the big 6, would never be remotely confident with that sort of bet.

Haha not surprised!

But in regards to odds on...even if something is $1.10...that is a 10% return, more then you'd get in a year off most asset classes. Now if form suggests it is a lock, why should I pass in it? Or at least have an expectation that it goes very close to winning. I get all the cliches, but explain to me why you look on?

if something is that short a price why not forget about 1st and look for some value in place betting?
