2023-5 OZgolf Punters Club

[AndyP]

Hey punters

BITS has handed over the administration of the OZgolf Punters Club to me.

Currently we have the below punters invested in the club. If you would like to withdraw or gain entry, please let me know ASAP before we kick things off again. The current total is nearly $2100, so the payout/entry would be about $120, but I can finalise that when the current rotation finishes.

I'm not going to change much, so I have copied the same rules below. I'll bump up the betting amount based on where the total ends up. I'll randomise the order again also.

Please keep the administration for this as easy as possible. Make the bets as clear as possible in this thread, maybe even a screenshot from Ladbrokes or another betting app, so I know exactly what I am betting on. Make sure you keep an eye on this thread for when it is your turn. I will not be chasing people via PMs or text messages.

Rules (updated 15/03/2025):

1. A once off payment of $36.77 secures you a share in the club. (payment to be made to OZgolf)
2. A roster will be drawn up and posted so everyone knows in what order they will be betting.
3. We will be using a Ladbrokes account. AndyP will place all bets to protect the account security.
4. A maximum of two bets to be placed per turn, for example, one $10 and one $25 bet for a total of $25.
5. If you double the money that you have bet, then you can punt again, i.e for a $35 outlay, a minimum of $70 collect is required to bet again. A bonus bet may count towards this.
6. Winnings to be distributed when everyone has punted or we will keep rolling.
7. We will only use the Punters Club thread on ozgolf.net for posting bets, and you will have 7 days to acknowledge that it is your turn and 14 days total to place your bet(s), before we move on to another punter. No other messaging services or PMs will be used, so if you are in the punters club, check OZgolf for updates. (Thread subscription link for immediate or daily notifications)
8. Have fun and win lots.

Back into the positive for this round now. Keep it going, benno.

Xray can have a $40 punt too, or anyone else that has been called out so far but hasn't responded.

[PerryGroves]

Well done dodging the early crow Benno........nice run

[benno_r]

Rightio. Saturday Funday. Go an NHL double today (if it gets to you in time):

Rangers over Penguins
Jets over Islanders

Set the tone!

I really hope you're having a hell of a social round out there Andy and missed this...

[AndyP]

No golf today; I was car shopping and not for a Golf.

[AndyP]

We seem to have a lot of people not betting this time around, but we can still lose their money, although not while benno_r is still going.

Next punter on the list that can have a go too is Toxic​. (Note that I have golf from about 11am tomorrow)

[Xray]

Hi Andy,

could you put $20 on Lucas Herber to win the singles and $20 on Ripper to win the teams.

Cheers

[AndyP]

The event has started, so I would need to call the bet in for live betting.
$21 odds for Herbert.
Team event betting wasn't available.

[AndyP]

I've made the Herbert bet for $20 at $21. First time I've ever called a betting agency.

[Toxic]

I'll have a Gollan all up $40

Eagle Farm
Race 5 no6 Habeebah the place
Into
Race 8 no 6 Tenzing the place

[AndyP]

Eagle Farm

$40 at a boosted $3.27 for a return of $130.80.

[Toxic]

$40 at a boosted $3.27 for a return of $130.80.

Nice

[AndyP]

Back into it after the Vic Champs punting break.

Toxic's bet went down, as did the punt from Xray.

Here's the current status:
- benno_r still going - $40 to bet
- Xray - $20 to bet
- Didn't respond to previous calls for punting:
- Nemo
- LeftyHoges
- Grunt
- Johnny Canuck

[Johnny Canuck]

I didn’t realise I’d been called.

I’ll find something…

[benno_r]

OK, a week of champs kept me out of the loop a little but getting back in, lets go:
NBA: Nuggies over Pistons
NHL: Leafs over Rangers

[AndyP]

Getting ambitious now.

$40 at a boosted $3.72 for $148.80 return.

[Captain Nemo]

I’ll take this if you want me to go…

[benno_r]

Getting ambitious now.

$40 at a boosted $3.72 for $148.80 return.

Never in doubt.

[AndyP]

Great stuff, Benno. Again.

I’ll take this if you want me to go…

I was at golf, so missed it, although I'm not clear on what the bet was anyway.

[benno_r]

Great stuff, Benno. Again. I was at golf, so missed it, although I'm not clear on what the bet was anyway.

I think it was 3 race multi for places. Think it got up too.

[Xray]

A little multi bet on today's NRL match in Vegas.

Warriors to win
Panthers to win
Cleary anytime try scorer.

[AndyP]

$20 at a boosted $8.42 for $168.40.

Cleary hasn't scored in his last five apparently.

[Captain Nemo]

I think it was 3 race multi for places. Think it got up too.

yep, easiest $600 all day….

[AndyP]

Xray's remaining bet didn't get up, so we move on to Toxic who has surely been studying benno's strategies and will get on a winning streak too. Another $40 for benno too.

Whilst I'm happy to punt, I think i had my failed go about 4 weeks ago
