Nice.

Edit. 100 to 1! At least that means I only need to put a dollar on it

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

$1 each way cost you $2 for 1st plus 1st 2nd and third.

9 is a good number. I'm happy with that. Odd name. A French horse, apparently. Do you think he neighs with a French accent?

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Could have been a drunk naming.

Better than the horse that got named Gingernuts.

Back in the early 2000s there was a NZ horse racing in Melbourne named Richard Cranium. This was a translation of his kiwi name which was deemed unsuitable by the authorities in Melbourne. Quite a good horse too.

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

Funny. Gingernuts was an NZ horse too.

I read that as:

I swear to you I was this kid's age when I was taught black Jack and poker by my older siblings.

I bet ya it didn't do me no harm.

[–] Pilk@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Come on people get on this.

You can not lose!

*GAMBLE RESPONSIBLY

[–] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I heard CEO was offering 100% refunds for any bets lost

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

Um. No.

*Chances are you are about to lose

**Unless you're the 1 in 23 who actually puts it on each way or on the nose.

***Each way means money for 1st place or 2nd or third. On the nose means 1st place only.

****There's more lucky numbers to be thrown.

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

Hence you can not lose!

Please gamble responsibly
