ACTIVITIES ON THE DAY

(Ladies Day & Cup Day)

TWO UP

​Two-up is a traditional Australian game typically played on Anzac Day and Kununurra Cup Day. Here are the simple rules on how to play:

 

Equipment: All you need to play Two-up is a designated "spinner" and a "kip" (a small piece of wood or metal with two heads and a tail).

 

Setup: Players gather around a designated area, often outdoors. A "ring" is created, and bets are placed with a "bookie" or someone overseeing the game.

 

Start: The game begins when the spinner places two coins (traditionally pennies) on the kip and tosses them into the air using a designated wooden paddle.

 

Betting: Players bet on whether the coins will land both heads up ("odds"), both tails up ("evens"), or one of each ("kip"). Bets are placed before the coins are tossed.

 

Outcome: The outcome is determined by how the coins land. If both coins match (both heads or both tails), the "odds" bettors win. If they don't match (one head and one tail), the "evens" bettors win. If one coin lands on each side of the kip, the "kip" bettors win.

 

Payout: The winner collects their winnings from the bookie or whoever is managing the bets.

 

Repeat: The game continues with players placing new bets for each round.

 

Fair Play: It's essential to ensure fair play by having a reliable spinner and maintaining transparency in the game.

 

Remember, Two-up is primarily a social game played for fun, and it's essential to gamble responsibly.

CALCUTTA

TICKETS
Tickets are $5 each and are available until the race before the Calcutta, unless sold out.
 

THE DRAW
The Calcutta commences with one ticket being drawn for each runner in Race 7. If your ticket is drawn, you ‘own’ that horse until the auction stage! All proceeds from the Calcutta ticket sales are divided 40% for the club and 60% to the prize pool.
 

THE AUCTION
Each horse will be auctioned to the attendees at the Calcutta.
You can bid on your own or you might choose to pool resources with others. The ticket holders who have drawn a horse have the right to bid on their ‘own’ horse or any other, or not at all.

​

After the hammer falls on each runner:
50% of the sale price goes to the person who drew that horse in the ticket draw, the remainder goes in the ever-growing prize pool.

The highest bidder for each horse at the auction stage becomes the new ‘owner’ of that horse.


Successful bidders must pay for their horses in Cash after the auction.
 

THE WINNER
The ‘owner’ of the horse that wins Race 7 wins the total prize pool.

Remember to bring Cash for this event. No cash out on premises.
