We’ve refunded bets on Alcopop, after Dunanden stormed home to win the Caulfield Cup.
After winning last year’s Melbourne Cup, Dunaden came flying down the home straight to get past Alcopop, and remind everyone of its’ Spring Carnival prowess.
Those who backed Alcopop had their hopes crushed, but over 2,500 punters were relieved when they had their bets refunded as part of our Caulfield Cup Special!
Thanks to Sportsbet.com.au’s Top Tote Plus, those who got on Dunaden with sportsbet.com.au will also have reason to celebrate. Punters will automatically receive the price of $14, the starting price, which was the best price compared to all three totes (NSW $13, UNI $13.70, STAB $12.50).
Attention now turns to the Cox Plate, with Pierro the $3.50 favourite.

Comon guys why all the hate mail? Sportsbet are by far and away the best book going around. All you have to do if you have a problem is ask them by sending an email. Is that too hard to do? They always help me out and Im talking about $10 either. the other day I won $330 in bonus bets and I emailed them and in the next hour the money was in my account to bet with. Use some manners be polite like you would like to be talked to and you will get all the help you need all the time. Well done Sportsbet for a great effort in the promos you run.
Cheers Brian.
it appears you sometimes need to make noise ,something that wasn’t their has now appeared and post dated as well
Hey sportsbet,
Thanks for the refund. Showing why you are my favourite bookmaker. Regarding the cups double comp, can you please update the page to show how many people will split the 10k for each horse in the Melbourne cup like you did last year?
Cheers!
Matt
Agree, great idea Matt, it shouldn’t be “All Too Hard” to do either?
Hi Matt & Kevin,
Thanks for the comment.
We’re currently working on getting Cups Doubles updated. We’ll have the pages updated quicker than the time it takes to read Lara Bingle’s autobiography. We promise.
Thanks for your patience.

Thanks Sportsbet !
It is embarrassing reading all these comments from people who backed a loser, don’t understand a simple concept such as “offer applies to 1st bet only” and crack the sads. “Where’s my money ? Where’s my money?” Umm your money is gone because you backed a non-winner.
They must all be Poms ??
Ha ha – anyway keep up the good work.
it was my 1st bet in the race. what is embarrassing ,is when Sportsbet offers something to everyone but picks and chooses who they pay
Hi Peter,
From the email address that you supplied with your Blog comment, I am able to check your account history.
It would seem you were refunded your losing win bet on Alcopop in the Caulfield Cup.
Please feel free to contact our Customer Service line at 1800 990 907 if you want to double check this.

Re quaddie, how many times does that happen, you should write email to jafckde punta, his helpful!
That is same as getting 1st, 3rd, 4th 5th in a first 4, or 2nd 3rd, 4th on a trif, I would love $100 for each time that happens to me. Should be some minor divie if one is good enough to find 2nd,3rd,4th,5th in a e.g 8 plus runners race.
like tattslotto when you get 6th divie prize.
I want to know if all spring canrival if all mutiples inc first 4 and trifs ae going to be city best divie this season?
Thanks
Phil
Great promotion Sportsbet, it seems you have 2000+ happy punters and a few that must have backed another horse in the cup before placing a win bet on Alcopop (maybe need some words highlighted in rules)? I went the other way, because of this great offer, I doubled my bet on Dunaden from the $25 outlay I was going to have to $50 for a win (@ 15′s), then if he finished second I wouldn’t lose! Happier the way things went, but need to say, great work SB, keep it up!
Cheers Kevin!
Do you think Dunaden will do it again at the Melbourne Cup?
Anthony Ierardi,
Sportsbet.com.au
Expect he will go close, but have a bit (including Cups double) into Americain! It may even be a French trifecta or first 4?
Poor Form, apparently you are only refunding on bests placed on the Tote odds and not the Fixed odds
Hi Nic,
Fixed Odds bets are always included in our refunds, as long as it is the first bet on the race. Please let us know if you have any further questions about this.

Put $10 on Alcopop and no refund…poor form a bank would be proud of
Hi guys,
Keep in mind that the offer only applies to your first bet placed on the race, and must be placed online or on m.sportsbet.com.au, in accordance with our Daily Special terms. If do have any further questions, or are still unsure if you’re eligible to receive the refund, please feel free to contact us at marketing@sportsbet.com.au.

i had a look at T&C before i placed the bet and couldn’t see anything that would exclude me ,but still no money ??
whingers, all i see is whingers here, any refund is a bonus, don’t expect your money back if you loose your bets. Read the rules, terms & conditions carefully. Money doesn’t get handed back for nothing. Plenty more races this Spring to recoup.
you get offered something and then they don’t give out ,of course you’re got aright to whinge
I backed Dunaden @ $12..0 and didn’t get $14 SP odds payed out?
I have been ripped off again.
No, you just don’t understand what you bet on.
Hi Jake,
If you choose Top Tote Plus, you’ll always get the best of the 3 Tabs or Starting Price. Feel free to send through any queries to marketing@sportsbet.com.au

Hi Steven,
Thanks for your comment.
Just to clarify, the condition was that your ‘first bet on the race’ would be subject to the offer.
This information is apparent in the terms and conditions of the offer.
We appreciate the feedback.
