2014 Emirates Melbourne Cup Day discussion.

I'm having trouble trying to figure the payout.

I put on a boxed trifecta and it paid 1.42%. I put 5 dollars on it. What does that mean? I know the trifecta paid $2173.

Sorry for the stupid question, I don't know much about punting.

You win $30.85

Was on Protectionist up until the last minute. Herbert Power has been good recently. Changed my mind! So pissed.

1.24% of $2173. Not much.

[Gavin Excell]

[The_Big_Ship]

Sysmo in the next to get some $$ back from the Cup!

Hope not, left him out of the quad!

Juggalo Balla

 

[davis_756]

Nah disagree - some of his previous attempts have suggested to me he doesn't get the 3200m at all - which was why i was surprised he was motoring home of such a hectic pace

Correct me if wrong but apart from that year Bart decided to dictate tempo he has always been passing horses coming from the back hasn't he?

Just not up to the quality of some, ironic the old boys ran top 6.

Trifecta return looks disappointing?

The 2 at a price were 2 that almost every mug would have thrown in though

 

[Magnum27]

Had to be injured. Had to.

Just said he collapsed in his stall, i guess he had excuses.
