Careful when punting

[S.W.A.T]

Hi Fellow Punters,

Just sharing a tidbit and for your advice. Needed cash for my first session at 278 the other day. Went across the Hotel on the corner and withdraw cash. Now regretting it, as it show when the location of the withdraw on my bank statement. Rookie error that should know better.

In case my partner question the charge. What suggestions can fellow punters offer for the withdraw of $120 at 11am on a Friday morning.

Thanks

I wouldn't worry to much about it man. Just let her know you popped into the pub for lunch, to play keno or caught up with friends for brunch.

[aussiegaigin]

You must really be under the thumb, if she is going to query a cash withdrawal from an ATM.

In future, buy something at Coles or Woolies, use your card to pay for it and take a cash out there.

[xboyx]

yea I have the best suggestions for ya.
If she's controlling your wallet to that point, bettet break up with her. You're the man and you have the rights to spend your hard earned money. Sure you may have a "common" account and you should have your own one too.

[lonely heart]

The question should be why your partner has access to such information of yours? She has access to you online banking?

And if you use a join account in questionable activity, then you are asking for it.....

[Riff888]

It easy enough these days to setup another account, even online.

Most banks prefer sending e-statements, so use your personal email address. Most banks offer account level addresses, so setup your mailing address for that account to your work address. Then select all communication for that account to go to your work address.

Probably better opening at a different bank, just make sure you give them a mailing address different to your residential address and a personal email address as well. That way, they won't send anything to your home.

Most banks don't even send statements on line anymore.

If you need one, just go online a download it

Who did you see at 278? Best is to go to coles or woolworths to get cash.

Wow really? That's hilarious :shout:

[Superbear]

She shouldnt be looking through your card statements unless its joint haha. If she insists that means theres a leak in trust in the relationship.

Your suggesting by your post that your partner .. knows where 278 is. And knows what 278 is..

Any reason she would ?

[Hu6e]

I always get the cash before hand.
Make sure you got that note bro.

That being said, I personally have had to tap and go at 278 to keep going.

That is awesome. My problem would be explaining the $120 for the cup of Coffee 🤣

[Turnitup]

What's the problem? You said you used the ATM at the pub. Much safer to use an ATM at a pub than on the street, security there etc etc.
If it's the fee you are worried about, move the account to ING - no ATM fees.

Yeah, a separate bank account is a must for the serious punter (in fact even if you are not a punter any man needs his own money to finance any “projects” that his SO need not know about.

Plus get all your bank statements set to electronic only so there are no paper statements laying about the house your SO can pick up.

lol the same thought popped into my mind, will be fucked if you says its a special limited seasonal beans that cost so much and the missus wants to try it.

At first I thought this didn’t read right as I misread the time as 11pm, my bad!

In fact it’s 11am in the morning on a Friday: FFS, there are millions of excuses , was there even a risk ?

Punting / that’s gambling was a great excuse, either on the footy or at the races , your mates gave you a tip and you ATM some cash and put the bet at the hotel, well, whether the bet win or loss depending on whether you want to buy a gift for your partner ?

Just my two cents

Good luck.

[down2fish]

As a few above have mentioned, a secret punt account is always a good idea. I have actually allocated for my workplace to deposit a portion of my salary into my punt fund. That way I don’t have to do physical transfers and she never sees money leave our joint account. She just doesn’t know how much I actually earn.

But also realistically, I doubt she’ll pick on one withdrawal. And if she does, just say you went to go play the pokies for a bit. If my punt fund ever gets uncovered, I’ve already decided my excuse is that I am a gambling addict... LOL.

[des888]

Lol when I went crazy a few months ago 278 Pty Ltd was all over my bank statements hahaha

[xboyx]

my accountant once called me asking "what is this ***shop name***? do you have receipt for it?" she's actually assistant girl, probably in 20s of age, for the actual accountant LOL
couldn't just tell her it's a prostitution ring so told her it's just general expense that I can't remember, curious girl!!!!

So you are using your company credit card to pay for your punting ? Do you own your own business? Or you just try to claim your session as a business expenses ....... lol

normally I use my savings account but that one time was when I didn't have the card or cash, or maybe the card was unavailable somehow so had to use one for business. and no can't claim as business expenses unless I am the Wolf of Wall St.

No point losing your job over a punt. Cash or personal cards.

Employer salary dispersements are great as long as your other half doesn't see your payslip. It's good that payslips are online these days, so you only need to print them out when required.

My ex wife had no idea how much I was spending.

Cash is the way to go. The only worry is that society is moving more towards a cashless society where everything will be recorded electronically and Big Brother will know everything about you, what you like, where you go, what purchases you made and etc.

You don't have to go far now. The supermarkets send you emails reminding of discounts on certain brands of good eg deodorants or food items you purchased at the supermarket. You are already being tracked now.

[Bigfoot]

I will give you the way every high end person does it.
They pay someone else. Eg, Your best mate. You pay him - tickets to Concert- event what ever. He withdraws the money. Now if he has same issue of being pussywhipped.
Then you need a single mate. a fellow punter type worsk well. Just make sure he's tight with you and has no gambling issues.

EG if you go to Canberra, the accounts of pollitians are clean as. but they all have staffers. Even females one that make sure there is enough petty cash.

[bbongobboy]

Did you know that controlling financial spending of your partner can be a form of family violence unless, of course, youre referring to a joint bank account. In this day and age I’d recommend seperate bank accounts/debit cards with a joint bank account for shared expenses including mortgage.

I don't think this counts as abuse...unless the partner is forcing OP to justify every expenditure. It sounds more as though he was worried she would query where a big cash transaction came from. Not much context was provided but I mean if he is a regular punter the wife may be justified in her snooping haha

Coffee bill for $100,lol

$100 for coffee. It sure would raise a few eyebrows. :question:

Come one people!
You would only drink coffee at a cafe?
One can say you went for a coffee and a lunch.
Then your mate reminded you of the bet you lost with him so you treated him too.
Husband to the wife: "You know honey what burger goes for these days, $30 dollars, and the wagyu ones were $35"

Yes, especially when you order fresh and moist abalone for lunch, it’s quite expensive ! ;) ;) ;)

[smiling wide]

1. PO Boxes comes in handy for debit card invoices
2. Try not to have electronic invoices for your punting account. Paper based can be thrown away.
3. Punting account should be another bank other than who you bank with or have your salary deposited; preferably one that allows withdrawal from any atm or any of the major banks
4. Work can pay into two accounts. You can set a % split or dollar amount to go into your punting account

Girlfriend/wife: "was the food expensive ?"
Husband: "very expensive, paid $250 for one meal"
Girlfriend/wife: "maybe you can take me next time"
Husband: "ummmm yeah no"

$250 a meal you wouldn't take her there, she'd be even more curious. better change to this version:

Girlfriend/wife: "was the food expensive ?"
Husband: "very expensive, paid $250 for one meal"
Girlfriend/wife: "maybe you can take me next time"
Husband: "well, while the food was really fresh, there was hair and the meat was pretty much uncooked the chef was also touching my food with bare hands, they even forgot to bring my cutlery and I had to eat with my hands!"
Girlfriend/wife: "FUCK NO!!! I just ate a meal recently and I also had to use hands, chef's meat balls were raw, banana for dessert was too big that I choked. The meal took me 2 hours, not to mention the hair...honey who are you calling?"
Husband: "My lawyer!"
