OMEN BETTING
The foll0wing is an excerpt from a winning entry to “Love letter” to cup week-week 1- From David Rothwell.
David witnessed “Omen Bet” greatness on cup day 2015. When asked to check a winning ticket for novice better Bec he arrived back to the payout window with her dividend of $5226.70 from a quinella bet.
Bec chose 2 horses on form and coupled them with 2 horses based on Omen. It worked like this, her father loved live theatre like the Pirates of Penzance so she chose Prince of Penzance and her dog was named Max so she picked Max Dynamite and there she was with a splendid payout. For those having a punt today wishing you lots of fun, good luck with your Form and Omen choices. For those who just love the celebration enjoy the beers and bubbles.
