The Melbourne Cup brings racing into every home each November. In some small way – a flutter at the TAB or perhaps a sweep at the office – all Australians take part in one of sport’s great moments. But how many people really know what they’re doing? This book uncovers the very basics of betting, but also adds something to the understanding and knowledge of those who have left the novice stage behind. Experts, too, will learn more about the mechanics and practice of punting in the ’90s. Alan “Hats” Aitken, racing journalist and columnist with the ‘Sydney Morning Herald’ and ‘The Australian’, and successful professional punter, now reveals his betting strategies in this book. In doing so, he has unlocked the door to many of racing’s mysteries and produced an easy-to-follow guide that no punter – whether novice or professional, lazy or dedicated, successful or desperate – can afford to be without. Includes 16 pages of black and white photographs. Country: Australia Pages: 231
