Oh no we did like a legitimate sweepstakes in primary school. It wasn’t even fake 🤷

They would bring a tv for us to watch the Melbourne Cup, I was 7, thinking, why do they think we are into horse racing?

Checked in with my son for this one- they’ve had absolutely no discussion whatsoever about the cup and he couldn’t believe it when I told him we used to do a sweep at school

Our school had the kids bring in a fancy hat to wear and the best one would win a voucher for the canteen! I remember winning with my hat that I stuck barbie horses around the base with a ribbon to make them look like racing 😂 I won!

At primary school we still did a mock Melbourne cup sweep and the whole school watched the race. This was as recent as 2014

yep. primary's in the 90's. I'm not a huge gambler now, and my 9 year old put a bet on (via me of course) today's Cup 🥰 did no good this year, but he's now learnt that $5 isn't coming back

I remember my primary school teaching us about lthe history of the Melbourne Cup. We even had a field trip to Flemington race course. At time it made sense because it was like learning about the goldrush and going to Sovereign Hill. But now it sounds so absurd.

I hate the Cup. The look I got when I didn’t want to be involved within a government job and the hassle after was palpable. I’m so sick of this gambling mindset.

my sister used to run round to the teachers and get the money for the teacher betting pools in general not even just for the cup 😂😂😂😂 I dont remember doing anything like that in primary school though 🤷♀️
