I am running the sweeps at work so thought I would create the thread here too.
Good luck and, and when its all said and done (and run), let us all know how you go so we can help celebrate your gain, or commiserate your pain.

Ripping it up put $20 eachway on C'Est La Guerre (or whatever it is).
Paid $8 for the 3rd place . My trifecta was completely shot up though.

2nd the call for last place - anyone know?
Trying to finalise my payouts (none to me) I dropped about $25 all up. Nothing big - a bit of fun!

I ran the sweeps here at work. I found someone who had a whole stack of 5c pieces that I would use to give to the people who got the horse who came last - Honolulu.
Damn it, I got the horse that came last and $2 in shrapnel.

Bauer gave me a coupla hundred on the Geelong Cup, betting on Francesca Cumani. Thought I'd roll $100 back on Bauer for a place, so pretty happy here.

Honalulu came 21st but 1 horse pulled a dnf (Was skaifey riding it?) I had 50 each way on Bauer. I'm happy I won money but dissapointed that it lost by the width of a bees dick. I thought it was home with 100 to run.

This has been a decent one for me .... I picked it on name and numbers. Last 2 years I picked Makybe Diva ... so did OK on those years as well.
Bauer (my surname) ... and Number 12 in the 7th race ... my B'day is 12th of July. I put $40 each way on it ... had the race been another 50 metres I would have had a decent payout. But overall I put in $80 and came back with $276. Tadka ... what were the starting odds for Bauer???? That's one thing I missed actually .... I would have brought home a decent amount if it did win.

Hey .. $106 from $4 overall ... that's a decent margin. Shame he didn't have $10 EW on it though.
