About Melbourne Cup Sweeps
Since the Melbourne Cup is the most prestigious race in Australian horse racing, several Australians engage in Melbourne Cup Sweeps which is another form of betting outside the standardized betting market. Unlike real horse racing bets wherein you can bet the amount that you want, the tickets for Melbourne Cup sweeps have the same cost which usually ranges from $1 to $5.
Betting odds are not a factor in Melbourne Cup sweeps as well and only those who have correctly guessed the race’s winner will get a portion of the pot money. The grand winner of the sweep can get as much as half of the collected prize pool while the second and third placers will get smaller amounts. Depending on the nature of the sweep, even the last place competitor will get some cash as well.
Melbourne Cup sweeps are part of the Australian way of living that even the Sunday Morning Herald publishes pictures of the Melbourne Cup participants that can be cut out as tickets. Melbourne Cup sweeps are ideal for those who are not really following Australian horse racing but would like to win a portion of the pot by trusting their gut feelings.
Melbourne Cup sweeps makes the grandeur of the Melbourne Cup grow bigger and you can even organize or participate in a Melbourne Cup sweep. You can search online for tickets or forms that can be used for the sweep and these are free of charge.
