Melbourne Cup Superstitions

[Tania Admin]

Years ago I knew a gentleman who swore by seeing a WL before placing his bet on the big race. He said it brought him luck and when he didn't one year he won no money.
Do you have any special things you do for the big race?

 

[Happy2]

Not really But your said gent who see's a W/L prior may be on to something
I might have to give it a go
Just for research purposes only Of course

Who would I have to see to get a grant I wonder?

 

[Tania Admin]

It's a smorgasbord out there H2

 

[Happy2]

It's a smorgasbord out there H2

Which Tania The girls or the Grants

 

[Tania Admin]

Bit of both would be my guess

 

[HappyPirate]

Ahoy I only have one Superstitions, which is, never stand in front of a cannon

As far as horse racing goes, go for number 13,

 

[Tania Admin]

Funny you say that. I always bet on number 13 for everything, races, roulette etc. Mind you I haven't had a big win in years...perhaps NT and I should see a WL before I place a bet,,,,food for thought.
I might take out the Trifecta lol

 

[Happy2]

Do the bookies still accept your bets when its only a 12 horse field Tania, HP?

I think horse racing is the biggest crock of s##t going around.

 

[HappyPirate]

Ahoy Bro Col, I do agree with you, but, horse racing is as Aussie as meat pies and Beer.
Cheers and Pass the meat Pie, and a glass of Rum

[colzilla]

Ahoy! Captain I punt but not on the races.

 

[HappyPirate]

Ahoy Bro Col;---- I think us two have the right idea about Punting,
I never go to the Horse races, or dogs or frogs

Ahoy! Captain I punt but not on the races.

 

[colzilla]

Our type of punting Captain is more of a sure bet.

 

[Happy2]

Yes but the punt at the horse track is the opposite to a W/L
The better the ride the bigger your financial reward can be
Your punting is the better the ride the more money you lose

 

[HappyPirate]

Ahoy Bro H2, I do agree with you, Ohhhh well I just keep spending money $$$$$$$

[colzilla]

Every one wins when I punt on the ladies. Colzilla Junior is happy. She's happy and the man/woman at the shoe, dress or bling-bling store is happy.

As for the horses....never understood why 2 min of horse racing can stop a nation........but that might be just the European in me

Rochelle If you have European in you Aren't you supposed to take any chance for a holiday Sorry thats Just France Well it is a good chance to drink champers at 10 in the morning

Well one belief i stuck by is, not to have a pony tail stuck in yer bum prancing around the night before. Though it's fun but you walk funny the next day, not a good look...

Exactly.........French government did discuss to cut the weekly working hours while the German Parliament discussed at the same time the future fact that Germans might have to retire in their early seventies.......guess figure........
