Season to date 27-26 (51%) :(

Will start with a few stats from just after the halfway mark of the season.....

Winning favourites = 71% (up 6% on recent averages)
Home winners = 71% (up from just 50% last season)
Winning dogs when offered +30 points or more = 12 of 17 @ 70.5%

Teams covering their lines +/-
Adelaide 8 from 12 @ 67%
Western Bulldogs 8 from 12 @ 67%
Kangaroos 8 from 13 @ 62%
Port Adelaide 8 from 13 @ 62%
Collingwood 7 from 13 @ 54%
Melbourne 7 from 13 @ 54%
St. Kilda 7 from 13 @ 54%
West Coast 6 from 12 @ 50%
Brisbane 6 from 13 @ 46%
Fremantle 6 from 13 @ 46%
Geelong 6 from 13 @ 46%
Sydney 6 from 13 @ 46%
Essendon 5 from 13 @ 38%
Richmond 5 from 13 @ 38%
Hawthorn 4 from 12 @ 33%
Carlton 4 from 13 @ 31%
*note* lines are from the one book that I use which generally favours the dogs.

Leans for this round:
Geelong -10.5 v West Coast . Geelong have won the last four between these sides by an average margin of 60 points!!!! Remembering also that the Eagles have only won once away from home this season and that was by a single point in the last few seconds against Carlton. Consider a few on the Over 39.5 accordingly ;)
Sydney +12.5 v Hawthorn. Sydney have won 5 of the last 7 against the Hawks and I expect the euphoria of having a new coach at the helm not to fade just yet. Will probably win straight up so points are a bonus.
Western Bulldogs +10.5 v Essendon . The Doggies have one of the better records against the recently dominant team of the last few years, going 4-4 in the last 8 meetings. James Hird is expected to return for the Bombers bringing his fractured skull and bike helmet with him!! I don't expect he'll be going in too hard :D Essendon will miss Fletcher from their backline who is out for 2 weeks because of suspension for striking. That has to be worth 4-5 goals to the bulldogs.

My pawamech system is at 16-9 for the season and selects two eligible teams in Carlton -7.5 v Richmond and Sydney +12.5 v Hawthorn
Will look for a treble or quad that incorporates these two with one or more of the above for some nice value.

Back later....

kickserv....You're certainly keen!

Taking 1.70ish for a team that's won just one game all year :eek:

Therer are certainly better betting games this weekend ;)

PAWAQATSI....May I suggest you wait until news of whether Chris Grant will play before taking the Doggies.
Should be on the AFL.com site Friday 6pm AEST.

BTW Sydney can be had for +15.5 ;)

Good Luck all.

Yes MrC......It does sound crazy to be on the Blues tonight with just one win on the board for the season but I can't find one reason why the Tigers can win this. I'm taking the $2.25 for Carlton Under 39.5 as they are not likely to cane them if they get up (advise you to do the same kickserv;) ) Also jumped on a quady of Carlton / Geelong / Sydney / Western Bulldogs @ 14/1.

Also, I think the Bulldogs can win with or without Grant playing!!!
:eek:
And I know that there are better points on offer out there but just can't be funked spreading out my AFL stash. Not until next season anyway :shrug: I'm still looking for that elusive book that has everything that I like to play on >AFL, NFL, Union, League, Tennis and Formula 1 with all possible combinations / totals / Unders-Overs etc. The ones I have been to always seem to be missing something :nono:

Yeah :D ...I feel your pain re: bookies that offer everything!

I've got about 15 current accounts, and most of them are in AUD and have no withdrawal/transfer fees, and so I have no problems with flinging my money around. (I do keep an accurate account of transactions tho ;))

I got caught too many times as a 'youngster' (LMAO:D ), and vowed always to have the best price/spread I could.
It has paid off more than once...Not least being Melbourne +12.5 last week which was only available at Canbet....+11.5 everywhere else!

Canbet
Centrebet (1% deposit fee)
Tattsbet
William Hills
Tabcorp
SportOdds
SportsTab

(Sorry if I offend anyone by posting these :shrug: )......All of these accept AUD and transfer money with no problems.

BlueSq
Betandwin
Olympic (www.thegreek.com)
Gamebookers................................All offer a good range (inc. AFL.), but required USD, Pounds or Euros....But again transfer cash without a problem.


Weeeellllll :rolleyes:

Sorry about that!....On to more important things :D

I've just spent 30 minutes on another site 'talking' about Grant!
I think it's 50/50 without him, but certainly Doggies would be favoured with him in the line-up.
The good news is he trained fully Friday morning, but will be 're-assessed' Saturday morning to check for swelling/bruising.
Should be right, I believe.

Sorry...Due to 'commitments' I can't tell you my plays, but I'll let you know Sunday sometime....But 2 points.......

1) I think your 14/1 is a huge show....
2) There is one near certainty that no-one has mentioned yet...And at a great price, I don't understand :shrug: ;)


Did I say HUGE show???........15 minutes in Carlton 23 points down :( ........I sure hope they get up.

Blew 20% of the mech bankroll on the crappy Blues

but was glad that McKernan could finally sing the song again. He played well for once!!

Collected on the Under and the quady is still alive ;)

Reminder that the Geelong and Sydney lines do look good folks.


...and MrC...cannot see any other near cert in the round mate that hasn't been mentioned before!!!! :shrug:

Good luck fellas

just like your thoughts on this SportsInteraction parlay.....this seems like good odds!!:

W Bulldogs +9.5
Pt Adelaide (moneyline)

odds =$2.99

that seems like a solid play!!!.........isn't it???


and MrChristo.....you might look into SportsInteraction......they deal in Aussy funds as well as many other currencies! Thought I'd pass that along!


and yes......you guys help me out.........hopefully I can help you guys out.....check out my Wimbledon plays as well as my CFL football plays......I follow those sports very carefully....especially Tennis! And note to PAWAQATSI I've given Anders 4 straight CFL winners!!


Once again thanks for your help guys..........and maybe sombody will get back to me on this parlay before gametime!!

kickserv......

Nice return on the parlay but be aware that Fremantle are undefeated at home this season. Granted Port Adelaide are the best team to travel there this season. I have been burnt on travelling teams to the west this season and swore I'd always take the home side there especially when getting +20.5 start.

I would be inclined to look elsewhere or make a small play on it at best. :look:


Good luck either way

Agreed. Port should win, but I won't be surprised either way.

PAWAQATSI...I made a mistake. They had been mentioned, in the post directly before!

Wouldn't trust them on the -15.5 handicap, but 1.65 for the win is amazing IMO :cool:

A draw between Western Bulldogs and Essendon after the siren!!
Port absolutely hammer Freo!!!

I hope we didn't talk you out of getting something on both parlays kickserv....

I would have spewed if the Bulldogs had won by a point and only Sydney had tipped me out of my quady.
Hey...nothing ventured, nothing gained :D

Cashed in on the Blues under, Geelong, Sydney and Bulldogs lines so I can't complain too much :)cry:quady)

System went 1-1 with the Sydney win to go 17-10 and a new balance of 171% of original bank.

Will sit back now and ride out some NRL bets and have a dabble on the British G.P :cool:

Kickserv...CFL???

No..........I won all my AFL picks and NRL picks for that matter!

And geez...........Port must be pretty dam good to demolish an undefeated home team!



As for CFL....week 2 is now over.......next game doesn't start until Tuesday night (you can ask anders for my e-mail and/or check CFL forum!):topic:

:cry: :cry: :Cry: :cry:

I was in tears after the game! The worst (best?) thing was I turned off the TV when the free kick was paid so I assumed we had lost.

Geez, if I feel this empty after the game, I can only imagine how the players feel :(


Anyway.........Adelaide now looking good against Collingwood today.
Kane Johnson WILL play for the Crows.
Tarrant is OUT for Collingwood.....and I won't be surprised if there is another late withdrawal as only 1 of the emergencies played in the reserves yesterday.

Best price I can find is 1.75, so probably not worth taking really.....Should be a cracker to watch tho.


Go ROOS ;)

Lucky you didn't MrC....

That was one weird game to watch. I had a small bit on the Pies for the under and had it given up at three quarter time!!! Then almost watched it go the other way in the dying minutes :eek:

My Roos also gave me a scare in the first half but went on and got the job done. Finally some young talent emerging today.

Yeah.....It was a very strange game.
Collingwood kicking 9 striaght before half time :shrug:

Who woulda thunk it.

Your Kangaroos were by far the best bet of the week IMO.
1.65 to win!!!!!!!!........I wouldn't have had them any higher than 1.40.
Crazy prices.

Well....It seems the momentum has swung our way, lets make sure we keep this roll going for the next few weeks ;)
