| How To Watch Melbourne Cup On Iphone |
Free as a Bird (or Almost)
Channel 10 to the Rescue: That's right, the good ol' fashioned free-to-air option is back in the game. Download the 10 Play app and get ready for all the thrills and spills, live and direct. Just make sure you have a decent internet connection, because buffering during a close finish is a recipe for heartbreak (and thrown phones).
Racing.com: The Purist's Choice: For those who prefer their racing a little less glitzy and a little more, well, horsey, Racing.com also offers a free live stream. It might not have all the bells and whistles of Channel 10's coverage, but you'll get the race itself, plus expert commentary to decipher those all-important jockey silks.
Tip: Context builds as you keep reading.
Pony Up for Premium (Maybe)
TAB and Other Betting Apps: If you're feeling a little more adventurous (or have a burning desire to pick a winner), some betting apps like TAB offer live streams for registered members. Just remember, a little flutter can be fun, but always gamble responsibly!
Word to the Wise: These apps might require a subscription or a minimum deposit, so check the details before you download.
Bonus Section: VPN jockeying (For the Tech-Savvy)
Not in Australia? No worries, mate! With a little VPN magic (Virtual Private Network, for the uninitiated), you can virtually transport yourself Down Under and access the Australian streams. Just be sure to choose a reputable VPN service and check the legalities in your region.
Tip: Reread complex ideas to fully understand them.
Remember: Using a VPN might be a technical grey area, so proceed with caution (and maybe consult a friend who speaks legalese).
