VJOKE

There was this guy in a bar just staring at his drink. He stays like that for over an hour. Then this huge truck driver sits down next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down in one gulp. The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says, “Come on man, I was just joking, I’ll buy you another drink. I just can’t stand to see a grown man cry.” “No, it’s not that. Today is the worst day of my life. Firstly, I sleep in and I go late to the office. My boss is so angry and fires me. When I am leaving the building to go to my car, I found out it is stolen. I call the the police and they say that they can’t do anything. I then get a cab to go home and when I jump out I realise I have left my wallet and credit cards in the cab. The cab driver just drives away.” “I walk inside and I find my wife in bed with the gardener. I storm out and come to this bar. And just when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison.

This week’s $100 FREE VBET goes to Brett H. Thanks for setting up an account in March Brett, all the names go in the barrel and today you are the lucky winner. Good Luck with your free $100 VBET….

VH2H – Head to Head Betting

VICBET H2H Betting is unique to us and is available every race day and night 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 go to our Live Chat or WhatsApp Tim Cleary (0433-339347) and he will price it up for you….

VFACTS

Maykbe Diva became the first horse to win the Melbourne Cup on three occasions in 2003, 2004, and 2005. In 2005, she also won the Cox Plate and is the second highest stakes-earner in Australian horse racing history behind Winx ($19,290,424), finishing with winnings of $14,526,690 upon her retirement in November 2005. She is one of only five horses to have won the Cup more than once and the only mare among the list of multiple winners. She is also one of only 14 female horses (11 mares and three fillies) to have won the Cup. Makybe Diva is owned by South Australian tuna fisherman Tony Šantić, who named her after five of his employees – Maureen, Kylie, Belinda, Diane, and Vanessa – by taking the first two letters from each of their names. Originally named the Craiglee Stakes (first run in 1948) after the home in Sunbury of Wilfred Henry Johnston (1864 – 1951), chairman of the VRC stipendiary stewards between 1924 and 1945, the Group One Maykbe Diva Stakes is now dedicated to Champion racehorse Makybe Diva……Watch the Famous third Melbourne Cup of the Champ – CLICK HERE
