Best Typo Ever - Leads to $115,000 dividend
We were breaking out all sorts of dance moves after an awesome tipping performance last weekend at Moonee Valley where we found a great long shot winner BOOGIELICIOUS at W=$40.50 in the selections.
Then we were alerted that we had made a shocking typo in the tips for Race 4, where we tipped 4-THE UNITED STATES, but accidentally typed it in as number (3) in the selections.
The Williams stable mate 3-CHANCE TO DANCE got up in that race...
One lucky Turf Deli punter, was unlucky enough to have a broken printer, so was cruelly forced to write down the numbers, and then put them on as tipped (including the typo), into an Early Quad - and collected a percentage of the massive $115,221 dividend!
Obviously the typo doesn't count for official tipping results, but the real tips were only a short head away from a substantial 5 figure collect regardless.
You can share this great punting story via these links on Facebook
or Twitter.
Just because we think it is such a great story. Nothing at all to do with wanting some free publicity...(seriously, we could do with some if you can help out and forward this story around).
Even allowing for fortuitous mistyped Acts of God, the tips did really well, with 2 winners on top and 6 winners in the selections from 9 races.
Race 2: 9-BOOGIELICIOUS W=$40.50
Race 3: 12-BON ROCKET W=$11.40 - top pick
Race 5: 6-STAY WITH ME W=$4.20
Race 6: 9-FELL SWOOP W=$2.20
Race 7: 5-THE CLEANER W=$5.30 - top pick
Race 8: 1-CHAUTAUQUA W=$2.70
The tips and form comments were right on the money for most of the day:
- in Race 2, from 3 selections, we not only found the $40 winner 9-BOOGIELICIOUS, but also the long shot place getter 12-SPANISH LOVE
3rd W=$25.60. Of course we backed our top pick, which did nothing. But still - just add in the favourite
and there is a $6300 trifecta begging to be collected. All punters are blessed with this remarkable gift of crystal clear, perfect, punting hindsight.
- we took on a short priced favourite as our Lay of the Day, Race 3: 4-STRONG HAND 11th W=$2.50 who duly flopped.
- our main race detailed form was spot on, confidently tipping the winner of the feature race, casting doubts over the short priced favourite and finding the Best Roughie 8-BAGMAN 2nd W=$21.20.
