Danimalia Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 What's the race betting like in Australia. Do you need to go to a track to bet, or are there lots of off-track betting locations? Here in California, the horse racing industry seems to be in decline. That said, I have a track about a 30 minute drive away, and our local fairgrounds does off-track betting. I don't go very often, and I'm not very good, but I do like spending a day watching the races, and hanging out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gweilgi Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 $10 on Humidor, on the nose. I just hope the nag doesn't turn out to be the equine equivalent of a plugged dog rocket... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either at the track, a TAB (Totalisator Agency Board, basically an organisation that takes bets), a pub/hotel/bar/RSL that has a TAB, or you can do it online. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzz Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Well, there we have it. Rekindling won the 2017 Melbourne Cup. Any winners? Or are we all going to drown our sorrows and try to win our money back on the next race? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overproof Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Dropped $60 on the nose paid out $1020 I'd like to say I'll buy a nice box of cigars and a bottle of rum but in reality I'll pay my rates, get the car serviced and if there's any left over buy myself some new socks n jocks. Great day. Fun screaming "Fucking Yes" in a open office when it came up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
