The 2014 Melbourne Cup odds will change many times in the lead up to the race, but you will get the best odds by betting early.

Dandino – (Bet on Dandino) – Ran a fantastic race to win the St Leger in the US despite the field making things difficult. Ran 2nd in the 2013 Caulfield Cup and 5th in the 2013 Melbourne Cup.

Melbourne Cup Bets 2014

Too many people stick to just win, place or each-way bets when they bet on the Melbourne Cup. It is especially sad to see this on race day when the odds have become ridiculously short. When placing your bet this year, think beyond the 2014 Melbourne Cup odds for a straight-up win bet and consider placing an exotic bet.

True, it is harder to accurately pick a quinella, exacta, Melbourne Cup trifecta, or box bet. However, the upshot of these bets is that they pay much more than a standard win bet.

Try betting online if you think that placing a Melbourne Cup 2014 exotic bet is too difficult. Online betting sites are designed with ease of use in mind, and most beginners understand how online betting interfaces work within a couple of minutes.
