VJOKE

Jim had forgotten it was his 20th Wedding Anniversary. His wife was livid and very angry. She growled at him “Tomorrow morning I better find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in 6 seconds. And it better be there or else!!” The next morning Jim was up really early and left for work without his wife waking up. When she woke up, she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway. Confused & excited, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway. She brought the box back into the house and opened it up to find brand new bathroom scales.  Jim didn’t make it to work the next day!

VH2H – Head to Head Betting

VICBET H2H Betting is available every race in two groups of three. It is the three Favourites (1st, 2nd and 3rd) combined in one H2H outcome and the second H2H is the 4th, 5th and 6th Favourites combined, excluding the Fav if it is Odds-on (under $2). This is a moving dynamic market so as the odds change for the actual race the odds will change for the H2H outcome. Also, you can pick your own H2H outcome, then simply text or WhatsApp Tim Cleary (0433-339347) and he will price up for you, this can be in a group of two or three, max wager is $100 when he does this……This is a novelty bet type so it is for the small players……

VMEETINGS

On Saturday the highlight is the Group 2 Dane Ripper Stakes along with three other Group races at Eagle Farm. On Sunday we have all the usual Australian Race Meetings and all overseas venues will be online till late.

VFACTS 

I started working as a Bookmaker in 1992, my late Father Allen Cleary was 50 years as a Bookie from 1956 to 2006, he was the leader of the Melbourne Rails for three decades. The 1997 Cox Plate was a big betting event, it was at a time well before the Corporate Bookmakers, Betfair and betting via mobile devices. All the action was at the track at Moonee Valley that day with plenty of cash and huge turnover. I was working on that day as a Bookmaker at a Greyhound track in Tweed Heads called Border Park, it is no longer there. The winner of the 1997 Cox Plate was the Bart Cummings trained Dane Ripper at $41, I had a win on the race in the vicinity of $5k. I recall my Dad saying there was $71 in the Melbourne Ring but he liked Damien Oliver as a jockey so never handed Dane Ripper over to the punters. Most of the money was for Filante, the 11/8 Fav ($2.40) along with Encounter at 9/2 ($5.50), Schubert at 7/1 ($8), Juggler at 15/2 ($8.50) and Alfa at 5/1 ($6). I recall looking at his ledger on the next day, he held $600k on the race including one bet of $100k on Filante and $50k Each Way Alfa (8th), the split arrived with D Oliver sliding through on the fence.
