VJOKE
A guy goes to the supermarket and notices an attractive woman waving at him. She says hello. He’s rather taken aback because he can’t place where he knows her from. So he says, “Do you know me?” To which she replies, “I think you’re the father of one of my kids.” Now his mind travels back to the only time he has ever been unfaithful to his wife and says, “My God, are you the stripper from my bachelor party that I made love to on the pool table with all my buddies watching while your partner whipped my butt with wet celery?” She looks into his eyes and says calmly, “No, I’m your Son’s Grade 3 Teacher.”
VBIGBETS
The biggest winning wager with us was in the Melbourne Cup:
- Flemington R7 – Vow and Declare $500 EW Pre-Post at $51 – Credit of $31,250 to the VICBET Client…… (placed over a month ago before the Turnbull Stakes)
And the largest losing wager with us was also at Flemington:
- Flemington R10 – Xilong $8k BT at $5.40 – Loss of $8k to the VICBET Client……
VBET
This week’s $100 FREE VBET goes to Bill K. Good luck with your Free Bet Bill. The next winner of the $100 VBET will go to anyone that has a bet in the Stakes tomorrow. All the names are dropped in the Hat and one winner will be pulled out….. Thanks to everyone for sending in the jokes and in any VNEWS if yours is used a credit will appear in your VICBET account……
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……This a novelty bet type so it is for the small players……
VMEETINGS
VRC Oaks day is now over with punters who were at the Oaks now trying to dry out their rain drenched clothes.

This week we are offering boosted odds of $3.50 and as per previous weeks, simply reply to the VNEWS and we will place your wager on for you. Note it is $1k max stake and the first 25 people only……Send an email to vicbet@vicbet.com
VPROMOTIONS
On Stakes Day our VPromotion is for the On Course punters who are going to Flemington tomorrow. Anyone who visits one of the VICBET stands either in the the Forum with my wife Louise, the Elms with my Son Tim, the Crown Marquee with myself or the Winning Post Enclosure with my neighbour Big Stretch at Flemington tomorrow can have a FREE Bet on any Flemington Race by quoting the VNEWS Promotion. Our only rule is you cannot have your free bet on the On Course favourite at the time of your bet, you have to give us a chance! The amount will be roughly what your last few bets have been up to $50. For all the info on other VICBET Promotions CLICK HERE:
VFACTS
The ‘Stakes’ were first run in 1881 as the Coburg Stakes. In 2016 the LKS Mackinnon Stakes was moved from Derby Day and renamed the Emirate Stakes. The move of the Stakes to the final day of the Carnival has marked the end of an era with Melbourne Cup runners no longer able to win the MacKinnon Stakes and Melbourne Cup in the same week.
The following thoroughbreds have won the MacKinnon Stakes – Melbourne Cup in the same year: Malua (1884), Carbine (1890), Phar Lap (1930), Peter Pan (1932, 1934), The Trump (1937), Comic Court (1950), Delta (1951), Dalray (1952), Rising Fast (1954), Rain Lover (1968), At Talaq (1986), Empire Rose (1988),
