Melbourne Cup All In Betting
Melbourne Cup All In Betting is one of the more popular forms of betting on the Melbourne Cup with punters. All in betting on the Melbourne Cup is generally associated with early Melbourne Cup betting markets that should in theory, provide you with the opportunity to bet on a Melbourne Cup runner at inflated odds.
The reason the early odds are so good is that there is no guarantee that the horse you bet on will actually line up in the Melbourne Cup field and any bets that you have placed will be lost.
Hence, the term all in betting. Some people may know this form of betting being called pre-post betting. It’s all the same thing with your bets to stand whether your horse is injured or not. If it doesn’t run then you’ve lost your money.
One of the best examples of how profitable all in betting can be is when Makybe Diva won the first of her three Melbourne Cup’s
Early Melbourne Cup Betting Markets
Her owner, Tony Santic, placed a $2000 eachway bet on early Melbourne Cup betting markets at what can only be described as ridiculous odds of $71. She paid around $8 on the day.
Melbourne Cup betting can certainly through up some good priced winners although the race has certainly been one for the punters in recent years thanks to the great mare winning three on the trot and being heavily backed by Australian’s all over the country.
Melbourne Cup Fixed Odds Betting
You will find that Melbourne Cup fixed odds betting is available with some online bookmakers soon after the Melbourne Cup is run and won. Melbourne Cup betting is generally slow until at least early August when punters have some indication of what horses will be arriving from overseas for a tilt at the Melbourne Cup.
