Last year Triple M Brisbane’s Grill Team made one lucky listener $80,000 richer at the Melbourne Cup with a lucky punt that paid.

This year, they have shortened the odds to absolutely guarantee they have a $10,000 winner tomorrow.

Triple M is running Brisbane’s Biggest Office Sweep, with 24 businesses joining Marto, Pete Timbs and Michelle Anderson at the track at Doomben tomorrow. One of the businesses is going to leave $10,000 richer, a great boost in tough times.

Meanwhile Nova Melbourne is getting into the spirit of the cup with a week of special broadcasts, and Melbourne sport station RSN will have official live calls of all the races on AM927 and its digital networks.

Race One starts at 10:20am, at the 2012 Emirates Melbourne Cup will race at 3pm.

And those not getting into the spirit of the Cup tomorrow will feel vindicated by a nationwide poll from Crossman Communications that reveals 63% of Australians aged 18 to 64 believe advertising by sports betting agencies increases problem gambling, with one in 10 decrying this type of advertising as more harmful than both alcohol and tobacco equivalents.
