Melbourne Cup Trifecta Selections

[Squawk]

What will boxing 4 horses cost me for half and full unit?

$24 for a full unit, $12 for a half unit.

I discovered today that you can put as much as you like on though - what that means is that if you put say $15 on, you get 15/24 in percentage terms of the full dividend paid. You simply get a trifecta ticket for the Cup, mark the amount you want to fork out on it and box your horses. The computer then calculates what percentage you can claim from the dividend. 1 (full) unit = 100%, half a unit = 50%, etc. Hope that makes sense. I'm not much more than a novice myself!

yes, these days you can select how much money you want to spend and the computer will work out what percentage that is to the nearest round number. Can be very helpfull.

Sounds like the best bet of the day on here at least.

Wouldn't have minded a piece of the pick 4. Hmm, early retirement........
