Melbourne Cup 2022: Betr 100-1 odds promotional stunt almost backfires as Gold Trip wins

Summarized by: Live Sports Direct
 

Betr offered 100/1 odds on every Melbourne Cup horse. The company was trying to entice people to open an account with the News Corp-backed company. Deauville Legend won the race, but Gold Trip came fourth. Some punters who backed Gold Tripp were deactivated from Betr accounts. Tyler Chalwell's wife Kelly was able to withdraw her $1,000 after backing Anamoe in the Cox Plate. The couple is angry about the situation. They are trying for a refund. BetR offered $150 in bonus bets and a $10 refund for canceling bets on the favourite Deaville Legend.
