I am only planning to bet $5 on the bet, if I win there's a great profit, if I lose it's no big deal.

I'm starting to have doubts about Brisbane though, if they have equal points with Essendon and the match is being played in Melbourne why do we all predict them to win?

Am a bit wary of points multiples after the crows let me down last week
Have taken Lions at 20-39 @ $4.00
Early ,considering essendon have players at tribunal,if they lose a few through suspension notably solomon and johnson and rioli,could be more.remember the lions on ,the got the power and also I think their favourite song the lion sleeps tonight has been played too much,they havent really got out of second gear for a while.I think they will get no.4 this year.

how much are you betting on the brisbane lions to win by 20-39 points?

Primo two questions
1.Why do you ask
2.What do you think the winner or magin might be

Hey Primo.
Was that you who mentioned something about a huge bet on Collingwood last week.
If it was,don't concern yourself with the amount others invest.
For some people,$5 is equivalent to anothers $500.
I know people who go to the tote and invest $200 on a horse,after just 2 or so minutes of thought.
If it is calming to you to know that somebody lost more than you did on the event,then you need to re-assess your punting attitude.
Tell you what.If I saw $5 in the gutter,I'd have no qualms about stopping to pick it up and putting it in my pocket.
When you start investing more than you can afford,you begin the roller-coaster ride to disappointment and many sessions of misery.

Six selections in a Multi is pushing it a bit.I suggest you knock it down to four.
Write down the payout for each of the possible combinations of four,and see which of these turn you on the most.

Cheers Mo.

Depending on any big team changes, here are my current ratings:

Port Adel 110 Sydney 90

Don't see no chopping block at all,Sportznut.
Free advice I'm seeing.Take it or leave it.
The odds for your selected draw would be $40.
You'd be pressed to get 50's anyway.No value in chasing draws.Too much time between collects.

Cheers Mo.

Sorry.Just edited the Geelong game price.
And then the Saints game.(Thanks GM)
