No problemmo moeee, i just thought they were under the odds, doesn't mean they can't win. just take a look last night in the NRL , Parramatta were in the same boat , going like yesterdays news, but because St george had 10 players out,they were at home, they went out at $1.48, guess what! stgeorge won 37-6

Don't know nothing about other types of football.Probably not much about AFL either.
But I do remember being at the Valley one year when about six top players were missing from Hawthorn from the week before.
The dunstall,brereton,platten,bookends Hawthorn.
I think I got $4.
It just goes to show,sometimes the players do put in that much harder when the chips are down.
Could be the sign of a great coach.

Mo.

In the end, I had just one bet in the AFL, Fremantle to beat Brisbane. I was surprised that some of you were keen to back Brisbane with so many players missing and a terrible record at Subiaco. I'm a Lions fan, but I made Fremantle my best bet of the weekend.

Brisbane are looking shot with all these injuries and suspensions. Doesn't look good for them for the next few weeks.

Okay, in the end, this is what I did:
AFL
Fremantle to beat Brisbane - 3 units
NRL
St Geo/Ill (+6.5) vs Parra - 1 unit
N.Qld (+5.5) vs Penrith - 1 unit
Souths (+6.5) vs N.Z - 1 unit
S12
Crusaders (+6.5) vs Brumbies - 1 unit

I thought Freo were good things this week, Souths and NQ are tips for my Home Dog system, the Crusaders are a bit of a saver bet after having backed the Brumbies at $3 a month ago, and I just thought St George were great value.

well the lions sure cost me couldnt even cover the 22.5 start thats ************ed all my multis and shortened up my weekend but ive plonked on port(against good advice) thatll either bring me back or kill me .
And layed Bastia against PSG in the French soccer

Well done Floydyboy for your Port bet.
Anything I can learn from finding out who gave you the (against good advice.) advice.

Also I'm a bit of a pervert as regards reading past posts.And I seem to notice that you Sportznut seem to pick a lot of winners after the race has run.eg:Fremantle.
If your worried that there is going to be a massive betting plunge if you divulge you tip,I can understand.If you're embarrassed about tipping a loser,it doesn't hurt near as much as it hurts your own bank balance.

C'mon share sometimes

Mo.

If you think I'm 'bragging' after the event or something then I'll stop.

It's not embarassing to lose. Everyone does it. What IS embarrassing is when someone makes a bold statement or tip before the event and ends up being horribly wrong. I think they look like a goose.

If you are a keen reader of past posts go back to page 1 of this thread and you'll see that while some others were tipping Brisbane, my posts certainly suggested that I thought otherwise. However, I didn't come right out and say Fremantle WILL beat the Lions, because that's just not my style.

As for sharing, a couple of months ago, I outlined the rules of my Home Dog line betting system and anybody on here could have backed all those selections and made a nice profit. Another winner tonight in the Cowboys.

It has been a pretty ordinary weekend so far for my AFL bets, with kangaroos and lions going down,had a saver on geelong ,but the way my luck has gone so far hawthorn and w/bulldogs will have to carry a few extra kg's. Moeee, do get into bed the way you get out, the wrong side?.
Sportz, and every one that write posts, are here to help,and i have backed winners reading them and hopefully i have helped someone else back a winner, never saw sportz brag about picking A winner , keep up the good work sportz,always look forward to yor thoughts,and i hope someone gets out of bed on the right side this morning LOL.
Floydyboy, good onya with port, your money was pretty safe during the game, as i said before i didn't think they were value, but i never said they couldn't win.



cheers
