This is the MugPunters.com.au Podcast for Thursday 24th November 2016 and coming up in this week’s episode:

• South African cricket captain Faf du Plessis sucks on lollies as the Aussies learn to suck eggs ahead of a potential test series clean sweep on home soil.

• We crunch the numbers on the World Cup of Golf but get distracted by a sign telling players not to lick their balls.

• and Bartz takes us to the Octagon in Melbourne where he's found a couple of prelim bets on a fight card he rates no better than the ones outside the local pub after lockout.

This is the MugPunters.com.au Podcast for Thursday 17th November 2016 and coming up in this week’s episode:

- Australia’s summer of golf tees off at the Australian Open with headline players such as Robert Allenby - not because of his golf, but because of Sunday’s headlines after a quiet evening at The Star casino goes somewhat pear shaped at 4am and he ends up in a dumpster outside a kebab shop in Rooty Hill

- And we preview the moderately interesting Four Nations Rugby League final between Australia and New Zealand before the boys get the opportunity to let their hair down and no doubt find an unusual way to disgrace the sport with yet another controversy

This is a very special 2016 Emirates Melbourne Cup Flemington horse racing edition of the MugPunters.com.au Podcast and coming up in this bonus episode:

- We give our expert analysis and tips for the race that stops a nation (except for brain surgeons. I’m pretty sure they keep working… and pilots. I’m confident they don’t stop either).

- And Mills schools us on terms like field, barrier draw, track rating, jockey, trainer, form, track work and horse as we get schooled by the betting agencies and websites as we’re reminded that we truly are mug punters

- So join the ever delightful Francesca Camani, co-hosts out and about Mel McLaughlin and Jennifer Hawkins, plus a bunch of aging crusty white anglo punting blokes as they broadcast the richest race in Australia and we give guaranteed tips to make a profit… tips not guaranteed

PLUS we provide a run down of every horse starting in the cup and our analysis and tips that are better comedy value than punting value.

We feel a little like Rocky today. Gotta pick ourselves back off the canvas after the debacle of Derby day, but like any good Mug Punter, we make some top excuses and find some more cash to have a play on the biggest race day of the year!
