Cup bet made easy
CASUAL punters confused about filling out a betting slip this Melbourne Cup won’t have to bother with the usual horsing around.
In a first for Bulletin readers, our sweep carries a barcode that will make placing a bet on a horse easier for punters, particularly those who only have a flutter at Melbourne Cup time.
The barcode can be used at UBET retail outlets and when scanned will trigger a $10 eachway bet on the selected runner to help you pick a winner.
It is not a free bet – the code simply saves once-a-year punters the drama of having to fill out a ticket.
Bets aside, these jockeys are winning in the fashion stakes by a short length trotting in their lucky jocks this Melbourne Cup.
Forget lucky colours or numbers, the ultimate lucky charm are undies which are sure to be this Spring racing’s ultimate accessory.
UBET has teamed up with Jockey to create the fun and bright smalls to raise money for the National Jockey’s Trust which supports injured jockeys and their families to relieve the financial hardship after falls or serious injuries and provide families with support, kindness and recognition.
