In 2021, because of what I posted on my Facebook page, many of my Facebook followers won handsomely on the Melbourne Cup and were paid out before the race. "How can this happen?" you ask.

How To Pick The Winner Of The 2022 Melbourne Cup

max hitchinsMy name is Max Hitchins. I am known as MelbourneCupMax. This is possibly because I have memorised the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place-getters of the Melbourne Cup for the last 100 years. many from the media call me Melbourne Cup Max or Mr Melbourne Cup. For me the Melbourne Cup is a 365 day commitment .

I follow national and international horses, research articles, talk to owners, trainers and media experts. I study breeding, watch live races and videos from all around the world. I like to think I do everything other than 'talk' to the horses!

New I guess I'm lucky, because I only have one race that consumes my interest. All the media experts have at least 7 races a day, 7 days a week in which they are expected to know the form of every horse. That's a tough gig!

During the year, I like to share information and give updates to subscribers to my Facebook page. See: Facebook.com/MelbourneCupMax. If you are not sure what to do in order to 'follow me'...ask any teenager! They will show you.

Our subscribers say:

dr frank cheok"Hi Max... Like many Aussies I am a once a year punter…at Melbourne Cup time. Like many once-a-year punters I always lost. That stopped when I started following you and your system. Can you believe that was 27 years ago! As you know, several years ago I retired as an as an Ophthalmic Surgeon at St Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney. My colleagues at the Hospital were always amazed at how (a once a year gambler) almost always backed the Melbourne Cup winner. I simply used to tell them - I have a source! :) Thanks for your friendship and thanks for being ‘my source’.” Dr Frank Cheok OAM

About "How to BE READY for luck...especially at Melbourne Cup time."

In the second part of this eBook I share how to have a number of horses running for you in the Melbourne Cup...for NO OUTLAY. This is what I mean by being ready for luck...being prepared...thinking ahead! My goal each you is to have at least six horses running for me in the Cup for NO OUTLAY.

As well as learning how to do this via the Futures markets you will also find much information about Trifectas, Quadrellas, First Fours, Trebles, Duets, Exactas and Big 6's. These form of wagering are called Exotics.

For 'once a year punters' Exotics can be quite intimidating and overwhelming. Particularly when you try to absorb it all at the 'last minute'. Hence we recommend you order a copy of this eBook ($6.95) well before Cup Day in order to familiarise yourself with the concept. We have found many experienced punters use the information and research in How To Pick The Winner Of The Melbourne Cup to assist them in placing their Exotic bets.
