Yeah, that's what I normally try to do with real money. Just try for odds of $2 to $3 or something like that and no more than 3 legs. But I thought I'd have to try something more risky for this comp. You're showing that's certainly not the case. Well done on a good weekend's betting.

Tell you what Jack Daniels,Yes I know it's easy for me to say now,but I reckon you seem to be watering down your spirits.Remember I was sayin',I believed you were better than the drink?
Maybe suufering from a hangover!.C'mon son,get your head together.we've seen what you are capable of.

Hopefully you have better luck tonight with your final comment.

Thank you Sportz and thank you Betsy for your encouragement.
Apart from the bulge in my back pocket,those comments are what make this Forum worthwhile.
Sportz and Goldmember are a bit down on their potential,but don't you worry young Betsy,you's is doin' OK.
May the punting Gods keep you all in the black.

Gee Chuck.
Considering I didn't make a donation to the Tsunami appeal,I'd like to sling you 50 bucks for your support when I was under attack.
Trouble is you kicked away from me in the tipping comp. so maybe next time my friend!.

\

Chuck, you obviously got a bit confused about your balance today as you were still supposed to have a $10 bet, not a $2 one. You'll be pleased to know that I've decided to count your winning bet as a $10 one. Your balance is now $19.35. I'm afraid your next bet must be a $10 one too. However, I have slightly changed that previous rule to try to keep people in the comp as long as possible.

Anyone whose balance drops below $12 can use $2 & $5 bets.
That means people have at least two bets left when they get down to that level.

Rabbitz, you've got one $2 bet left. Please, do just what Chuck did today and pick a nice safe bet and try to keep adding to it each week to stay in the comp.

Maybe you should follow your well meaning advice yourself Sportznut!

Early thoughts from me for next week. A lot will depend on team make ups etc....

AFL specials at this early stage would be:

West Coast, Geelong and Sydney.

NRL specials at this early stage would be:

Bulldogs, Melbourne and Manly.

S12 specials at this early stage would be:

Chiefs, Bulls and Blues.

I know its early, but I think these teams will win next weekend depending on injuries and lack of media turmoil etc....

Bulldogs will probably start at pretty good odds given that they are still without Mason have lost SBW, but Mark O'Meley is due to play next weekend and they are comming off a rest weekend. Or maybe the bookies will give up on the Roosters as they have done nothing this year at all. Where luck beating Souths and Penrith lost their game against us. :(

Just some early thoughts, not that I would expect anyone to listen to me after my woeful round of bets in this comp.


Good luck to you all next weekend.

A couple of questions sports, can we bet on the Aust Vs NZ test match and or the upcomming State Of Origin games and series results and associated bets?

Yep, we'll be betting on those games and all the big Rugby internationals too. However, we won't be betting on the series results for the State Of Origin or the Rugby Tri Nations, because that's a 'futures' bet that takes weeks to decide. You can only bet on something that's happening in the next week.

Okay thanks.
