Mo, I'm not sure I should tell you because you'll probably think it's pretty stupid or boring.

Anyway, I'm not a huge punter, and I usually go for VERY 'safe' bets to simply try to make a nice little profit, certainly not squillions. I usually spend around $300 to $350 on the Brownlow Medal, but that's with about 10-12 different bets. The most I bet on any player is only $40. You probably think it's not worth betting on some of these small divs like $1.20, but in my opinion these players are pretty much over the line certainties and it's actually not bad value. People who are willing to bet much more than me could really clean up on these 'good things'.

I've dug out my records from the last 2 seasons and this is how I've gone with these Most Team votes:

2003
St.K - R.Harvey $40 @ $1.25 (WON $50)
P.Ad - G.Wanganeen $40 @ $1.35 (WON $54)
Ess - J.Hird $40 @ $1.40 (WON $56)
Frem - P.Bell $40 @ $1.40 (WON $56)
Syd - A.Goodes $30 @ $1.45 (WON $43.50)
Rich - M.Coughlin $20 @ $1.70 (WON $34)
Geel - C.Ling $20 @ $1.70 (WON $34)
WCst - B.Cousins $20 @ $1.80 (WON $36)
Out $250, In $363.50

2002
WCst - B.Cousins $40 @ $1.18 (WON $47.20)
St.K - N.Riewoldt $40 @ $1.20 (WON $48)
Coll - N.Buckley $40 @ $1.25 (WON $50)
WBul - L.Darcy $40 @ $1.25 (WON $50)
P.Ad - J.Francou $40 @ $1.28 (WON $51.20)
Kang - B.Harvey $30 @ $1.45 (WON $43.50)
Syd - P.Williams $20 @ $1.60 (LOST)
Ess - J.Johnson $20 @ $1.85 (WON $37)
Frem - P.Bell $20 @ $1.90 (WON $38)
Bris - S.Black $20 @ $2.10 (WON $42)
Out $310, In $406.90

Among my other bets, I did have $10 on Black to win at $9 in 2002 so that really helped the profit there. Last year I backed Buckley, but actually lost on the win bets because of course I only got a 3rd of the dividend.
