The hottest one - So You Think. If I were a horse, I'd totally go there.
I like tautologies because I like them.

I'd be alright with getting Monaco Counsel in the sweep, more rain the better though.
I like Shoot Out, and I like the 28/1 I've seen floating around this
paradoxically less rain required for this horse

Cummings second runner is right in this race too, and if it pisses down look at the Caufield Cup winner Descardio(?)

almost beer 0'clock?

Just put $12 on a box trifecta - 2,11,6 only because of the significance of the date.

I've gone the simple $1 win on Harris Tweed.

But I t just can't see anyone (except perhaps Shocking) getting past So You Think. He is untested over the distance however so the only danger to him is if he dies early.

We had $11 left from a work do, so a colleague chucked it on a couple of horses. Returned $10.90! I told her to put it on the Nix.

Ahh organised gambling, the cornerstone of any successful society.

We will never fully decide who has won the football.

1          Wellington Phoenix     2.60     
2          Brisbane Roar     2.50     
3          Draw     3.20

probably better off throwing it on the draw

was looking at that only put a fiver on it though so not the end of the day if Nix lose since, I kept most of the winnings, I dislike the tab so am going to withdraw the rest tomorrow morning.

$5 each on Roar and Draw. You'll either make a profit or the Nix will win and you'll lose $10. Smart betting ftw.

Three for me, and two for them.

$25 on Phoenix is what I am thinking. Out of my $75.

that's not nearly enough profit to even get the part of my brain which stores logins and pass words working let alone actually signing in, clicking options and verifying. i get your point though, i'm just not that keen

Mrs Redged won her office sweep with Americain, plus small dabble on the number 8 at the TAB means she's the go-to person for the lucky picks this week.
I got Maluckyday in my office sweep so the luck was certainly in the family yesterday!
Now the football picks at the RoF.......Go the Nix!!

  Improving,,on the up, a work in progress from Italiano and the Nix. Bring on the bathroom bling in '24! COYN!
