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.

Shit, forgot about my go...

Can I have;
Liverpool over Southampton (EPL)
Storm over Eels (NRL)
Wigan over Huddersfield (Super League)
Burnley over Luton Town (EFL Championship)
Leeds over Portsmouth (EFL Championship)

Should be just over $3....

[AndyP]

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

Right you are. I recorded the bet, but didn't mark you off.

$40 at a boosted $3.13 for $125.20.

[AndyP]

3 from 5 legs up, but since it's Lefty you can guarantee that it will fall over with some hard luck story.

Wigan will piss it in, but I'm expecting a late equaliser from Pompey from a bullshit free kick.

[AndyP]

You just picked which leg would fail successfully.

[LeftyHoges]

You just picked which leg would fail successfully.

I tossed up 4 other legs to throw in instead of that one, which all got home, but I picked that one because it was the safest.

****s sake.

[AndyP]

Only a couple of punters left in the rotation and the next one is Lucasto23​.

[benno_r]

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

Another day, another NBA / NHL combo:
NBA: Spurs over Mavs
NHL: Oilers over Sabres

[AndyP]

$40 on at a boosted $2.26 for a return of $90.40.

[AndyP]

**** you, Sabres!!!! The streak is over.

We're still just down for this round, but PerryGrove will pull us out of this hole this week.

[PerryGroves]

Have seen it Skipper, some racing tomorrow


Edit: nothing jumping off the page will likely wait until Saturday

[AndyP]

I just saw your edit. This a Friday bump anyway, so I can tick it off my to-do list.

[PerryGroves]

Caulfield Rc5: $30 win Bit of Shoosh
Caulfield Rc7: $10 win Chewing Gum

[AndyP]

Caulfield Rc5: $30 win Bit of Shoosh
Caulfield Rc7: $10 win Chewing Gum

I made a change to this, so you would only need one result to get up to punt again.
Caulfield Rc5: $28.50 win Bit of Shoosh at $3.40 for $96.90 return.
Caulfield Rc7: $11.50 win Chewing Gum at a boosted $7 for $80.50 return.

Well bowled. Thanks

[PerryGroves]

Chewing Gum got scratched, can you put it on a Bit of Shoosh

[AndyP]

Done. Worse odds, but better with a boost to $3.45 for $39.67, so the total return will be $136.53 for the two separate bets for the fave.

[PerryGroves]

Faaarckkk, appalling

[AndyP]

Only 7 lengths behind.

That's the end of this round unless those who have been called but didn't punt, get a bet in this week. If you want a payout, it's a massive $36.77.

[AndyP]

Let's go again. No change to the order, but bets are reduced to $35.

AndyP is first. Let's hope he sees this within a week.

[AndyP]

No time like the present.

NBA: Clippers over Grizzlies @ $1.35
AFL: Cats over Saints @ $1.32
WTA: DeMinaur over Yunchaokete @ $1.14
$35 at a boosted $2.06 for a return of $72.10.

The Cats losing the last three times against the Saints at Docklands is concerning though.

[AndyP]

Another loss for us.

I couldn't hate Geelong any more, but **** those guys.

[LeftyHoges]

Another loss for us.

I couldn't hate Geelong anymore, but **** those guys.

I also had them in a Punters club.

This couldn't be more appropriate...

[AndyP]

Should we have benno_r do every second turn?

PeteyD​, you're next.

Bugger the Reds were paying good odds. I shall see what I can find.
