2021 Melb Cup Day Punters Club

[JK]

Gday lads and lasses, figured I’d open up a threat to gauge interest for any that might be interested in a Cup Day Punters Club. Last years was eventful, took up most of the week, and punters got back more than double their investment, details can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=43220

Last year we went in with a fee of $50 per person and I think there was discussions at one point of upping it to $100? Doesn’t bother me either way in all honesty so will leave that to the feedback of members, first step I think is getting a show of hands from those who might be interested.

Next thing we’ll need is an account to use, preferably one that will give us a deposit match option - Anyone got a spare account (or prepared to open new) that might fit the bill?

As always, feel free to discuss any other aspects and I’m sure we’ll but something out that works for all.

Cheers,
JK

That would be awesome mate, whichever offers the best value. If we can get at least 20 runners (Ie, $1k deposit) then we should be able to get max freebies.

@Dutchy are you happy to be the banker again mate?

I guess to make up 20 spots (if required) that those happy to can buy an extra slot?

[Mr Beefy]

Count me in

The more the merrier, I don't see a problem with blokes getting a couple of bites of the cherry if they've paid double.

A running joke at my local when someone places a big bet "Bet bigger, win more!"

I’m so shit at the big carnivals, hanging on other people’s coattails is the only way I’ll win

I know the feeling, I've had a couple of decent days but not in the big races.

Every Melbourne Cup my old man used to box numbers 1-10 in the big one, I've carried the legacy over since he passed away knowing he'll be watching over me and guiding the horses to victory for me.......................................I haven't even gotten close.
