Interesting round coming up in the footy.
Like Sydney and Brisbane at this stage.
I know all of you guys are rating the saints but don't get sucked in by the juicy odds. The champs will turn up the heat and I just can't see Fraser Gehrig kicking a bag on Mal Michael. I remember last year everyone thought the Pies would clean up the lions in the centenary round and the champs simply had a 10 goal first term.
Can't see my boys having the leg speed to go with the Swans but a lot will hinge on Barry Hall surviving the tribunal.
Collingwood might be a good bet if you can get a bit of a start, say 12-15 points.I still have huge ? marks over Port and don't be swayed because they pumped the Dogs last week, they are playing like a VFL team at the moment.

Collingwood are playing at their peak.What your seeing is the best they can do.
I watched the Port,Essendon game but it just turned out that Port weren't good enough on the night.I won't be using that as a basis for my selection,and am coming up with the decision that Port Power by over 40 points.

9 goals or so in the first quarter last week for Essendon ain't gunna happen against the tightarse Sydney defense.Another big win for the Swans.

Everybody seems to think the Lions are much better than what they are showing at the moment.Well they might have missed the boat!.The finals are almost here and if you ain't got your act together by now I believe it's too late.They didn't think the Saints could beat them last time,and they are making the same mistake again.Form team to beat an out of form team.
Go Sainters.

Almost front page headline news that point was.
Supposing the point by Aussie Jones occurred within the first 2 minutes of the game.Would we have given it even the slightest thought.
Games are full of umpiring mistakes.About 15% is an acceptable error rate it seems.
Kangaroos beat Sydney because of two glaring wrong decisions.But the Roos were regarded as heroes.
Sainters you marvellous team.What you done in the last quarter last week is what needs to be done for the rest of the season.
I'd like to see that!

I have heard that Port Power has a shocking record at the MCG as well.Well if that's true it ain't gonna stop me from backing them.After all,it is still a home and away game,not a final.

They're 5 from 18 there Mo. (5 from 16 in H&A games). A lot of those losses were early on though, when they didn't have as strong a team as they do now.

18th August 2004, 01:01 PM
Gday Mo, Just for the record regarding the Pies, I don't think they are certainties. I just think that their man on man game upsets Port and I don't really rate the Power. I think they play great footy when they can get plenty of uncontested footy and are probly the most highly skilled team in the comp, but big games arent played like that. Just look who wins flags.
They may well thrash the pies this week but they can't win the flag for mine.
Secondly, with regargs to the Brownlow betting I was also talking in jest when I mentioned he will go in the book this week, but my msg may not have read that way.
Thirdly, i've read some of ur comments regarding tote punting and maybe ur right when you say, they have a lot of shit on their minds etc etc and maybe I just have an iron heart, but sorry buddy, those wankers who do that drive me barmy.
Finally, I've read some of your other excerpts about ur own punting and it can be a dark well when your stuck in a tote, betting race to race to race. I've certainly done that at times in the past.
Some basic suggestions to improve that are don't read the formguide daily or listen/watch the racing channel.That helps minimise your interest and you can break that cycle.
Just remember any habit takes 30 days to make or break!!
I hope this msg hasn't overstepped the boundary with you or upset you. Your msg's are funny and you seem like a good bloke but finally don't forget; the lions will create some carnage this week on your sainters

Some say 21 days should do it.
The urge usually grabs me when the sun goes down.Wifes home,kids are back from school.Nothing on TV.

Beautiful tipping there Mug Punta.Wrong as usual but beautiful nevertheless.And they actually aren't my Sainters really.It's just that the only way of getting my Bank Balance back to black is by the Saints taking out the big one.
Don't have a team that I barrack for unless it's got my dollars riding on it.

Thinking the same thing as I was going through yours Sportznut.This is about the 3rd time I've noticed this.
So how come I keep losing and you keep winning?
Could it be I'm a little more honest in disclosing my punting prowess?

sportznut
18th August 2004, 11:57 PM
As I keep telling you, a large part of my betting this year involves my system selections and they have NOTHING at all to do with my ratings. I know you think my system can't possibly work, but it HAS been going great guns all year. I guess it will fail dismally at some point, but it hasn't happened yet. Another 3 from 4 last week, including Hawthorn in the AFL.

I am considering the following multi...

1.Collingwood v Port Adelaide

2.Western Bulldogs v Kangaroos
Line - Kangaroos -29.5 @ 1.90

3.Adelaide v Geelong
Line - Geelong -13.5 @ 1.90

4.Brisbane v St Kilda
Line - Brisbane -16.5 @ 1.90

5.Carlton v Melbourne
Line - Melbourne -17.5 @ 1.90

6.Hawthorn v Richmond
Line - Hawthorn -4.5 @ 1.90

Multibet Odds: @ 47.05

What do ya reckon?

Hi Black Panther, afraid to say it to you on your first post, but, in the words of Ivan Drago to Apollo Creed in Rocky 4:" You will lose".
Good luck to you for having a crack but to lob a 6 leg multi, all of which are at the line would be a big achievement!!

19th August 2004, 10:47 AM
Just curious what other punters thibk about what's happened with the Bulldogs this week?
I know they are playing crap footy, but they actually have 5or 6 players who are top players. I just wonder if maybe the appointment of Rocket this week may lift them out of their stupor.You reckon they would be wanting to impress the new coach, even, if he's not coaching yet.
Also, I think that maybe that loss to the Saints last week may knock the stuffing out of The Roos.They through everything at the saints last week and now they know they are simply not good enough.
Im not suggesting the Doggies will win, but, with some agencies giving a 7 goal start, maybe there is some value there. Comments appreciated

Welcome
I reckon all those bets look good except
Brisbane -16.5 and Hawks -4.5
Dont underestimate Richmond in the battle of the giants.Also as much as most of the country is hoping for a brisbane win(except moee)I cant give St Kilda 16.5 start.This game has been billed as a cracker for months and i'm not convinced about lions even though i am a die hard supporter.So my advice leave that one out and take St George to beat newcastle in NRL with start instead
Cheers

sportznut
19th August 2004, 01:38 PM
Mo, I do ratings on every game, but I mainly use them as a point of comparison with the bookies. I do them early in the week before the bookies' starts come out. Then I compare my margins with what they put up, and that helps me decide if a team is a good bet or not. Two weeks ago, my ratings suggested Brisbane by 15 and my gut feeling was that West Coast could even win, so the +39.5 for the Eagles was a great bet. There's nothing that attractive this week unfortunately. I think I will probably just have small bets on the two system selections and also St Kilda (+16.5) because my gut feeling is that they're going to give Brisbane a hard time. It's a tough round this week. Most games could go either way. Melbourne and the Kangaroos should really win their games though, so I might also think about having a double or something with those two.

If the Eagles are so much better than the Dockers,how come the Dockers been in the 8 for so long and the Eagles ain't?
Someone suggested that the Dockers are gunna have sore legs from running around in the mud last week.
Well all you guys who subscribe to that had better get set on the Saints and probably Adelaide and Richmond.
What say we penalize the mudrunners 6 points each?
I'll buy that.
Rabbitz.If you analyze the Derbies,I'm confident that the Home team wins most of them.Freo for me with the start to be safe.

As a rule, I generally don't like to bet in these local derbies, but I reckon the 15.5 points starts for Freo isn't bad. West Coast totally dominated in the early days, but Fremantle has won 3 of the last 4 clashes between these two teams.

Thankyou for your tip about freo with the start,I thought wc could win easily but youve put doubt into me mind,so i will look elsewhere,mainly because you have a knack for being right,however freo are in a big hole and eagles are soaring with injured players returning,last time freo played at subiaco,collingwood beat them,i think the wc will win easily,50-60 points but i respect your uncanny knack for being right( apart from the netball )

Tongue planted firmly in cheek???

I'm not saying the West Coast CAN'T win it easily. Just that I'm surprised at the 15.5 start for Freo. After all, they are still above West Coast on the ladder (for now at least), and they've won 3 of the last 4 derbies. I won't be betting on the game though so please don't let anything that I said put you off backing the Eagles.

Never mind Mug Punta.At least your consistent.
And it seems that Geelongs mud soaked weary legs don't travel too well in South Australia.And Adelaide at home seem to be knocking off a few favourites.
Sportznut's homedog system is way,way,overdue to come crashing to earth,but the signs are there is more chance of the Messiah coming.
Hey Sportznut.To me it feels like there has been 7 reds in a row and even though the chances of a red coming up next are even money,every cell in the body is screaming that black is a certainty.

Mr J.
A mans gotta do what a mans gotta do.
Unless he changes the rules.

And Rabbitz,I may or may not have banked on Port to win by over 16 points in any or all of multis that I may or may not have taken.

Mo, Collingwood let me down last night as I suspected they might. Not sure about Adelaide against Geelong. I mean, the Cats have got a top 4 spot to fight for but what have the Crows got to fight for?

I suspect my system may struggle over the last couple of weeks of the season, because as you said, it is due for a fall. Still should finish comfortably ahead for the year.

Well most problems in my life are caused by me being a black and white man(I don't mean I barrack for the Pies,certainly not last night anyway) living in a shades of grey world.
There is certainly no denying that it is killing them,But Sportznut,did you design this system and if you did,which bank of results did you use and did you test it on a bank of results not included in the design stage?
Only interested in the AFL side.
I just don't see the rationality in the Homedog system.
Obviously there is a strong Form Factor in this selection method that the general punting field has not allowed for.
If the consensus of opinion says that a team should be a certain price,then that is what they should be.
If you have a system that wins on level stakes,there must be a form factor that has been not allowed for in Markets.
I'm thinking it is a mental kind of motivational thing,like "Well,we've got nothing to lose but everything to gain" attitude.
Go Adelaide.Do it for the Nutz.

Yeh. I'd like to rule out those sides but I'm not sure it's possible. Unless it's a common trend, there isn't any basis for it. Never know how it's gonna go moving forward.

Ah yeh, Mo I'm not rich. I just do ok.

Don't know Mr J,if you are into gallopers,but it is much easier to frame an accurate market for the Cox Plate than it is the second division Maiden at Geelong.
I am limited by the number of bets I have each year so I can't afford to not have a bet in every game.If I could narrow my number of bets down it would be to eliminate any game contested by a pair of teams in the bottom half of the ladder.
Eg.Hawks v Richmond
And Bulldogs v Kangaroos.

Well done the Crows. Never in doubt. :wink:

I actually had Adelaide winning outright comfortably, and the Bulldogs just a 1pt dog. These are just the sort of things you don't say out loud though since people will laugh :wink:

After 2 weeks, finally a nice little collect.
Swans-12, Bullies+30 and a nice wager on Barry Hall to kick more than LLoydy.
Going to butter up on the Lions 2moro.

Got on the dogs in the end? It's a damn shame I didn't take them outright, but then again I'm not crazy (hell even the +30.5 was brave).

Anyway for today:
Brisbane -15.5
Fremantle +14.5

Yeah Mr J. Just couldn't back the Roos to win by over 30. Definitely didnt take the $4 on offer about them winning though.
Like your double and think ill probly also throw in the HAWKS for a treble. The tigers are playing heaps of kids.
Really cant see the derby being a blowout in Perth and Freo still looks great value at +15. Time will tell. Cheers.

Mr J.Are you aware of the pick your own lines that are available?
Rather than betting straight out or the line that is equivalent to $1.90,you could have backed the Western Bulldogs,at say,+15.5 for a price of $2.60

Yep I'm aware of them Mo. Can't remember which book that is at. I know I can't deposit there though (I only use Neteller). Have to get some money in there though, as picking your own lines is very valuable in NRL where you can buy off key numbers.

i think the wc will win easily,50-60 points

Looks like you might be right. I hope we didn't talk you out of betting on the game. Did you at least have a small bet on them???

Strange. Pre season I had a bet on West Coast finishing above Fremantle on the ladder and about 6 weeks ago, I'd completely given up hope of winning that bet.
