Rails Ring - $2000 WIN
Main Ring - $1000 WIN
Anyone have any info on Southern State betting rings, I cannot find anything on these websites. Cheers,

In Melbourne & I think Sydney rails bookies have to bet to lose $5,000 & off rail bookies $1,500.
However, getting on can be difficult if the bookie wants it to be as they will simply turn the price off in your face. So while it is the 'law' (it's actually a rule not a law) that they have to bet to lose those amounts, enforcing that it can be difficult. I've had it happen to me & it has happened to plenty of others. |
