Betr boss Matt Tripp: The bookie who dodged $50m Melbourne Cup loss

Betr had a huge number of new customers but it was worried about the cost of the marketing stunt. It reduced the price for Deauville Legend and second pick Loft to $10. Betr was looking at a loss of between $ 10m and $50m if the favourite saluted. Deaville Legend finished fourth. The race was still a win for Gold Trip. It's also been claimed that BetR refused to pay out some bets. There are enough types debating the scourge of gambling without this column wading in. it's enough.
