Reply With QuoteThat's very nice, but I think you have the wrong punting forum.
Sadly, for those that are not aware, the racing form expert Deane Lester passed away late last night, 16th February 2023. For those that understand the title name then you will be well aware of Deane. For those that find this strange, this was the name given to his tip on every friday morning, firstly at 3UZ and then when the station was rebranded as RSN927. And it has become an institution in Melbourne and heard throughout Australia on all racing stations. The name RAMA came from the nickname of a much loved Essendon AFL player, Adam Ramanauskas, who was much loved by many for all the difficulties that plagued his own career. Hence, the RAMA roughie was coined, and hoped that it would strive as hard as it's namesake. The late Deane Lester was an icon as a racing tipster and a true australian larriken that lived a life of horse racing and punting. The punting that those of us born in the 50's and 60's knew as punting, before the aussie slang gave it a new lean. I never had the pleasure of meeting Deane however I lost a great part of my life last night. Not being able to hear his voice on radio or use his tips will be strange new world for a while. So, after listening to many say today that we need a legacy to continue, I am suggesting that I post the RAMA roughie each Friday for all those that would like a punt and openly encourage any other OP that feels they to have a roughie for the team. The RAMA roughie will be The roughie and everything else will be My roughie. For those that wonder if this is an appropriate, for those that have never heard of Deane Lester, google will help. Deano will always be remembered.

Perhaps, but I will cop the tip from anywhere who wants to stick their neck out and give out roughly tips that are most likely way over the odds!Originally Posted by Niisato
Yeah go for it man. I like to chuck the odd lobster or pineapple on something once in a while.
Always sad to hear about anyone dying from cancer but i am simply not in to putting anyone on a pedestal.
He lived a good life despite facing many issues and i say good for him
He was one ofbtge better tipsters but thats like saying Albo is one of the better pollies......stilll a bottom feeder
RIP Deane. Don't recall the RAMA rougher but I pretty much use Sky Channel for the original punting.
I have put a bit each way on both. Think I got $14 and $19 respectively. Quick look at the form and can see why there is interest.
Everyone loves a roughy, but I also like good things getting the job done. They pay your way so you can speculate. I Put this all-up on at Rosehill tomorrow Tote odds but should pay at least $10
R4. 3. Kings Gambit.
R6. 2. Mariamia.
R8. 3. Aft Cabin.
Fuck me.
I know it's after the event but Kings Gambit is a nag.
Struggled to run 2nd with everything going his way last start and they dodged a decent race last week cos they knew he couldn't win....
Stop listening to Brad Davidson ....the guys an absolute muppet. He couldn't even analyse one of Rooters reviews
Betting on 3 winners to get 9 to 1 is just a dumb bet but please keep it up
Thought I would give it another chance. Sacked now. Mariamia was disappointing too, as was Aft Cabin. Oh well, that's racing.
Love my Multis and all-ups - small outlay big return when they do get up.
Hey tramps. You didn't go too well with your tips mate.
Daily Bugle ran 4th and Hello Broadcast finished near the end.
That's OK mate, they were roughies after all.
I could be cruel and quote the late great Bert Bryant and say you have "more tips than a can of asparagus" but nah mate I wouldn't be so cruel
Happy punting mate!
All power to you but your idea of small outlay big return is very different to mine
If i am putting more than 50c on a multi i am expecting upwards of 1k back.
It must be nice. I have had a few 4 leg Multis pay between 80 and 100 to 1, but 2000/1 I simply cannot comprehend.
Hi Rooter. Agree, not a auspicious start mate. Aim was to keep the tradition going. My tip was the omen of his great mate, Robbie Griffiths horse in the first. Then Jye McNeil wins and the tears flowed anyway. The RAMA roughie is an institution in Victoria. Maybe not so known here outside racing people. It is still going on in his memory and I think it will be handled by Mark Hunter, a very good judge in his own right. I will put it up on Friday's. Put a running chart under it and see where we finish at the end of the year. There are single bet punters who have done really well over time.Hey tramps. You didn't go too well with your tips mate.

Good to see you are still up and punching old friend. I, for one, was always proud of the tales. We both have been "punting" for all our lives and No Surrender is a song that I give to boys like us. These last few years have been tough for me. Covid first then P Cancer next. Things are not the same, but the fire still burns. So keep travelling my blood brother👍
Each to his own mate.
If it works for u and you enjoy it by all means keep it up.
I tend to take up to 200 worth of bets on any race day. Mainly trifectas and quinellas get the bulk of that so I spread it around.
Taking the last 2 weeks as an example
11k from a $9 quaddie 16% collect ie it paid 68K
2.5k from a $6 quaddie 16%
8.4k from $10 6 horse multi 33%
3k from $4 trifecta 200%
1.5k from $2 trifecta 33%
3 x 1k plus from $10 win bets. 100 to one or better
Fair few 500 plus collects
Mind u I had a real shit 2 weeks prior dropping around 2000 and seriously thought about having a break.
Slow day yesterday ...despite tipping 6 winners in Melbourne and 3 or 4 each in syd bris and adelaide I only picked up a few hundred.
Really expected sessions road to win the last. Got flattened out of the gates and lost a ton of ground and time to balance.
Would have given me the quaddie straight and a nice 14k win....pretty deflated about it so went for a rub tug and blow....lol
Some nice long price chances today.....
Enjoy your adventures and keep 😃
