    Anyway, could be worth a small play if you want something different.

    Hahah it’s funny coz the bloke who told me this was correct about bachelor. Probably just some dude who assumes he’s got 1-3 chances of been correct

    Hold on, are you guys saying that Masterchef has actually finished, but you can still bet on the outcome?

    I had no idea, I figured they filmed a day or so out for airing and that betting would close once there was an outcome...

    Wow.

    I have no idea, but even if it wasn't yet "finished", these types of shows are "scripted" to a degree. The winner is often pre determined.

    Yeah same for both Masterchef and House Rules. Pre recorded. There's a disclaimer on the page that the betting agency may already know the outcome.

    Can find only one horse to back tomorrow (and it's name isn't Sashben).
    Warwick Farm race 5 #11, Seventhchic. Down in class, nice jockey change and good odds. I'll have a nibble at the chic.

    Interesting pick mate, 2 starts back was 3rd to todays 2nd fave only 2.2 lengths off and is $26 compared to the 2nd fave being $4.80. Go well !

    Wow.

    On a similar note, I don't know why betting agencies offer novelty bets that are so easily manipulated by the people being bet on (without involving match fixing)

    Eg - taking bets on what colour tie Laurie Oakes would wear in the last election. Oakes was aware of the bet and changed ties 5 times during the coverage.

    Ive never bet on these types of bets but I wonder if they have limits on them? i.e. max bet $100 of something?

    Who knows

    The worst one is the english goalie who got fined and sacked for eating a pie during an FA Cup game .

    He was on the bench, found out about the bet and ate a pie for a joke. Then got busted for "influencing the betting market"

    Once he found out about the bet, i don't see how eating a pie is any more influential than not eating a pie. In either case he could just have easily told any of his friends what the outcome was going to be.
