My tip is - horse racing is rigged, don't gamble!
I'd expect that sort of reply from you Mike...bah humbug.....
Life is a gamble and far too short as it is....you can't take it with you so you might as well have a little fun every now and then while you can.
Big group one races like the melb cup are not rigged...far too muh money at stake and with all those runners you would have to get everyone on board to make the sting work. Nigh on impossible.
Unlke say spot betting in cricket where almost eveyone is in on it including australian players becuase it is very easy to hide on a wide or a no ball or a wicket...etc.
Anyone having a bet on tuesday want to chime in with something a little less lame?
