I really think they are the two best sides and I find it hard to see anyone beating them. I think Brisbane are over-rated, while St George, Melbourne and Penrith all have the talent but seem too inconsistent. The other 2 teams in the finals will probably just be making up the numbers.

CARLTON by 14
SWANS by 44
WEST COAST by 35
BRIS LIONS by 50
ST KILDA by 44
PORT ADEL by 12
ESSENDON by 25
GEELONG by 30

Well for Saturday:

Sydney by 24
West Coast by 65
Brisbane by 48
St Kilda by 50

My bets are:
WC -27.5
St Kilda -38.5

Getting to stay away from Richmond is a win in the books.

Must feel very awkward though Mr J.
You go through whatever it is you do and find Richmond at great value.And then keep out because it's Richmond.
Is it because you have been burnt more often?
Don't you say to yourself,"Well they must be overdue to return some of my investment?"

Discipline and Willpower would have to be the most important rules in any punting system.And a Staking method.The way we come up with selections is probably way down the list.
Wish I could swallow that with conviction.I'd probably win a few bucks.

I think I'm 2-5 when backing Richmond. Last one was a win. Never stayed away just because it is Richmond. I'm staying away from this game simply because my model doesn't see value. If it saw value in Richmond it'd (unfortunately) be a bet.

Saints letting me down...

Anyway, just Geelong -27.5 for me today.

I took a multi bet and if the bombers get the chokkies ill have a nice collect for the round.
P.S go judd, and lloydy kick up to 6 sausages.
p.p.s Iv'e loved these olympics. 7 bets for 5 collects

I had the following bet to win $6500 :sad:
How close.....

And I jump up and down when I lose $2.

$500 on a 12-1 shot.
********!.
How much do you invest when you really like something.

I like your bets, I had 3/4 of them :wink:

Hope you had them in singles since 3/4 paid off.
