2020 Melb Cup Day Punters Club

Postby JK » Thu Oct 01, 2020 12:25 pm

G'day lads .. Had a few discussions with Dutchy during the year and thought I' see if there's any interest in a Melb Cup Day SAFooty Punters Club?

Lots of different way it could be run so always welcome feedback on the structure if enough people are interested.

Initial thoughts were (based on a 10 race card) $50 per Punter, and each punter gets assigned a race to spend their $50. Purse held and bets placed by Dutchy.

Another option could be $60 per head including 1 x $50 bet each and 1 x Melb Cup selection for a % based syndicate Trifecta in the Cup.

Numbers would be capped so that everyone gets an equal turn - Ie, if a 10 Race card then participant numbers would be limited to multiples of 10.

Purse held and bets placed by Dutchy who would then disperse any winnings individually with every participant receiving the same return.

Righto, yay? nay? Interested if it's run differently etc?

Also, this will in no way replace the time honoured JK SAFooty Melbourne Cup competition.

Cheers,
JK

Actually good point, we probably don't need to cap it do we? If there's more than 10 entries we'll just run with multiple bets in some races.

I take the whole week off these days (actually probably have for 10 years now).

Derby Day, Cup Day, Oaks Day, Emirates (or equivalent) makes for a long week and requires opportunity for a rest day or two.

No worries, I know of a couple of decent punters that might wanna join and they could add some value to us.
