TheBookie,

You still have one free bet left over and it's one from earlier in the comp, so you don't have to use it on the NRL Grand Final. You can use it on the NBL or something if you wish. Everyone else has to use their free bets on the Grand Final.

Sportz, are your premier league ratings going to make a reappearance this season? I found them very useful.

Hmmm, not sure. I'll have a look at it and see what I can come up with for you. Might wait until the NRL Grand Final's out of the way though.

What I did last year was purely experimental, and they certainly started off VERY well, but gradually went backwards, so I decided to stop doing them. Might be able to come up with something for this year though. We've now had enough games to make some sort of sense of it all.

anyone with a free bet left can win this thing.... either by picking the exact margin or outside 1st try scorer in the NRL grand final....

1st try scorer odds usually range from $11.00 to $21.00 with the backs, and anywhere to $151.00 with the forwards...

The exact margin for the cowboys game last week paid $201.00, and with a $100 bet your balance becomes upwards of $20000, surely enough to win it.....the basic margin are usually over $25 so that would win it as well....

come on goldmember, lets see if we can do it for the underdogs!:D

Okay, I could easily just play safe here and end up in a nice respectable 4th or 5th place in the comp..... OR I could go totally beserk and have a bit of fun!!! ;)

I'm going to see if I can get the Cowboys home with this lot!!! :D

If that doesn't get the Cowboys over the line, I don't know what will. :D

well you'll have to put a few more bets on sportz, because at the moment your maximum balance could finish $1880.80, and i don't think that will win it!

I know. I've intentionally left a couple of hundred bucks over for some big priced ones which I'm going to work out in the next couple of days.

sportz, i was wondering this morning if anyone having a $100 free bet could have multiple options in the one bet,trying to stage a GRAND final finish,

EG:

w/tigers try into w/tigers 1-12 into M.O.M , or 1st tryscorer into a ht/ft double, or something similar to that, it just crossed my mind as was a incentive for us cellar dwellers to have one last ditched effort in a big way.

I understand if you think its not fair to others who dont bet on the NRL G/F and if its techincally not in the rules, but i thought i would ask ? if not, i'll have to think really hard at something else.

No. I'm sorry, but unless any of the bookies actually have special bet types like that, then I'm afraid you can't. As it is, the bookies won't usually permit multis where one of the legs affects the outcome of another leg, so I'm sorry, but you can't do that.

With the AFL, Centrebet has that option where you can pick the first goalkicker and either team under or over 24.5 points. If one of the bookies has an option something like that on the NRL, then you can certainly use it, but otherwise, your free bet must be just a single bet.

no problemo, just trying to spice it up :D
