The Gurgler Melbourne Cup Exotic Super Mega Pie-Fecta

The biggest betting race of the year is here and despite telling you that we are one kind of tipster to avoid for the Melbourne Cup, we offer up our Melbourne Cup Exotic Super Mega Pie-Fecta.

What is a Super Mega Pie-Fecta? Well that’s when we try to pick the entire Melbourne Cup field in order.

Absurd you say? Of course. So is trying to pick just the winner. Or let us pick you one with our Select-O-Matic.

Despite being the worst value betting event in the world, at least 20 million Australia who have a bet or have bets put on their behalf on the first Tuesday of November. Worse value being that tightarse TABs only pay 3 places in a 2 mile event with 24 horses. Greedy ducks.

We are even more stupid try to pick every single runner in order. Why wouldn’t you.

We did this two years ago, and thankfully very few read that which allowed us to reuse the most of the parts of the same article without anyone knowing, and anyone calling our mediocre result.

Enough of the past, onto our Melbourne Cup Exotic Super Mega Pie-Fecta for this year.

We’ve largely missed the Spring Carnival this year, and when we say largely we mean almost completely. We caught the replay of the Cox Plate. And we know the winner of the Caulfield Cup. And someone we knew bet on the Geelong Cup. That’s loads of study, isn’t it?

Armed with that dangerous amount of knowledge, combined with perusing the Sportsbet website on the train ride home which was on time and staffed (an achievement in itself in Brisbane), we present our Melbourne Cup 2016 Tips.

But instead of taking it easy and providing a few popular horses, we intend to pick all 24 horses in order. We call it a Piefecta. (After a Four and Twenty Pie)
