Why Australians should not participate in the Melbourne Cup fiasco.
Are Australians being robbed by overseas bookmakers doing business here.
When you back a horse in the UK for a place in a 24 horse field you get at least 5 places.
When you back a horse in Australia with the same bookmaker in a 24 horse field you get 3 places.
Australians should totally boycott these bets with the bookmakers until fairness is applied in this multi Billion dollar industry.
The governing bodies that can do something about this are part of robbing Australians as they do nothing about it.
I wish I was in a position to take these robbers to court. It’s disgusting how there are so many schemes in Australia that get away with stealing from our society. We have to all start standing together if we are ever going to have a fair go in life.

what does this mean?

If a horse you pick comes first you still get money if it comes 4th?
