Melbourne Cup

[Eye_Shot_The_Sheriff]

good luck all, tough race. ive just spent $100 on boxing 11 on a triffecta for a 22% return, we'll see how we go

In my opinion the winner of the Cup did not go around on Saturday.

Geez there's some donkeys about this year!

 

[NK Arsenal]

i think you are a little confused....you have picked them from order of entry...not the barrier draw that you wanted earlier.

You're correct sir, my mistake. :lol:

4. On a Jeune - Win $21, Place $6
7. Maybe Better - Win $18, Place $5
11. The Fuzz - Win $26, Place $7

Odds: Centrebet

 

[Keeper of the Light]

First thing to do is listen to 2ky and see what Terry Kennedy is backing. Then put the red pen through it.

:lol:

Yes, avoid TK's tip.

he's not on the Purple Moon!

 

[Eye_Shot_The_Sheriff]

How can you box 11 horses for $11, is it for a 1/2 (50c) ?

Found this, this morning on Sydney Turf Club website.

# OF HORSES BOXED - COMBINATIONS - COST (FOR $1 UNIT)
3 - 6 - $6
4 - 24 - $24
5 - 60 - $60
6 - 120 - $120
7 - 210 - $210

Its easy to work out guys, you just multiply the number of possible horses per place. Example -

If you box six horses, then you have six possible first place getters. One of those has to run first so then you have only five possible place getters for second, which means you have only four possible third place getters. Multiply that out -

((6 x 5) = 30 x 4) = $120

If you box 11 horses

((11 x 10) = 110 x 9) = $990

Therefore if you were to box 11 horses for $11 you would get only 1.1% of the end dividend. Pretty poor return really! (In NSW you can pick your maximum spend on Trifecta's and then the system automatically works out your percentage return)

My tip is to box 5 or 6 horses for $20 if you are just a once a year punter. Then you have a fair chance of getting the Trifecta.

My other tip is to have a Trifecta syndicate at work. Charge everyone $10 each to go in. If you get 12 people to go in, you can box 6 horses for $120 (100% return) then you just get each of those 12 people to pick a horse. You will find that some will double up so out of 12 possible selections you will probably end up with say, 7 or 8 horses picked. The ones that have been picked more than twice automatically go into the trifecta and then you just put the couple remaining into a hat and select as many as you need to fill the remaining places in the Trifecta.

Before the horses get weight allocated to them I think Efficient and Princess Coup are the 2 best horses in the field.Zipping looks the best weighted though and you cant rule out Master O'Reilly, Mahler,Purple Moon and about 10 others.
Get the kids to pick one out and have a real bet on the other races (I think Nolen can get a winner tomorrow-Cup ride wasnt the only reason he wanted to get out of that suspension by one day).

I think your right Macca!!

Master O'Rielly has had the perfect preperation and the penalty for wining the Caulfied Cup is minimal when still carrying 53.5KGS.

I like horses that have not run the great race previously.

I also like Jockey's that have not won the race previously. Not too many multiple Melb Cup jocks in the last 20 years. Darren Beadman, Damien Oliver, Glen Boss the only 3 I recall.

Can a horse by O'reilly win a MC??

I guess that is the big question

On A Juene the hole is my other tip! Want at least $10 the place though.

 

[chiana]

Dolphin Jo and Sculptor because they have the best jockeys.

I thought Lisa Cropp wouldn't have been let back into the country after her ride on Miss Finland in the Cox Plate last year! :crazy:

 

[gorilla with a shotgun]

My trifecta will consist of Master O'Reilly, Gallic and Douro Valley

Probably will be my quinella, the 2 best runs in the Caulfield Cup (MO and Purple Moon).

Already on PM at fixed, got 30/1 the double with Kibbutz. PM meets MO 3kg's better from the CC and PM ran into a wall about 3743 times with that ride from McEvoy who had him 257 wide the whole race!

If Olly can get this pommy a decent spot in running, I think he'll winning...

J Cassidy has won at least twice too

Funy you tip On a Juene - even though his jockey has won previously and he's lining up for his 4th Cup. Kinda goes against your ow rules haha

dolphin jo won't finish in the top 10.

 

[hineyrulz]

Dolphin Jo needs to start about now.

Did anyone see the farce on Today tonight???? Phar lap and Carbine would have run nearly last in the virtual race. The diva is the most overated horse in Australia's history

7 - 210 - $210

seeing as though moffo doesn't appear to be around ill answer for him

you can put as little or as much as you want, all it does is play with the percentage.

ive boxed 5 to win
into 11 for 2nd
into 11 for 3rd

id have to fork out something like $550 to get the full div. for my $100 i get about 20%

you can box all 24 if you want! it'll pay f**k all though unless you're willing to tip in thousnads of dollars
