VJOKE

A woman walks into a Pharmacy and asked the Pharmacist if he had any cyanide. The Pharmacist a little taken aback with the request says, “Why in the world would you need cyanide?” The woman then explained she needed it to poison her husband. The Pharmacist’s eyes got big and he said, “Lord, have mercy — I can’t give you cyanide to kill your husband. That’s against the law! I’ll lose my licence, they’ll throw you and me in Jail. Just leave and forget you ever came here before I call the police. The woman reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the Pharmacist’s wife. The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, “well, now.

You didn’t tell me you had a prescription.”

VBET

This week’s $100 FREE VBET goes to Jason T. Good luck with your Free $100 Bet Jason and thanks for the suggestion in an idea to make the website more user friendly! Thanks also to everyone else for sending the jokes in and the feedback by Live Chat or email to vicbet@vicbet.com…..

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 up for you.

VMEETINGS

VFACTS 

Who was W.S. Cox? William Samuel Cox founded Moonee Valley Racing Club in 1883 on his land. The clear second best horse race in Australia the WS Cox Plate (after the Melbourne Cup and ahead of the Caulfield Cup) was named in his honour and was first run 1922. Since the first running of the WFA Classic Favourites have won 41% of the time and if the Fav is under $2 (Even Money) like Winx in 2016-2018 then they have won 70% of the time. The “Best of all Time” Phar Lap started at $1.14 (7/1 on) when he won in 1930 and then when he won again in 1931 he started the shortest ever at $1.07 (14/1 on).…….…Click on the link below to watch one of the best Cox Plates of all time, the 1986 version won by Bonecrusher ($1.90) over Our Waverley Star ($3.50) (with a twist X4). I was there working as a 19 yo, I remember the amazing crush and rush at the Bookies as soon as any Bookmaker went Even Money ($2) and that is the loudest roar I have ever heard on a Racetrack as the two New Zealanders fought out the finish (Sadly no roar this upcoming Saturday with no spectators):
