Yeah, but we're kind of off the topic of the article now. Granted yeah, you're not going to get 300 bets a year betting on favourites 1.20 or lower, because there arent going to be that many. We're talking more or less now about the concept of whether a 7% bank deposit is better than a 4%...

Depends. Even if you're not rolling over your winnings into building your bankroll, getting 7% return on your investment betting on sports is still better than a 7% term deposit. Here's why. Let's say you begin the year with $1000. You put it in a term deposit for a year to get 7%. You make...

Understand your point about banks offering 7% on a term deposit. But this is the beauty about sports betting. 7% ROI would be excellent, but you can build your bankroll with an even lesser average return. Why? Because unlike a bank term deposit, with betting you are turning over your...

I think that article is just making the point that favourites of slim odds like under 1.20 have actually done well in soccer leagues. The fact that just betting on them all straight up would have made a profit is interesting because normally all I have heard is that theres no value in those...

At first glance I don't see much value in any of those odds. Maybe the Hawks a touch. But I think they've pretty much gotten them right.

While it's not just about the EPL, found this article about the value of short priced favourites in soccer leagues in Europe. Kind of goes against what I always thought about betting on anything or any team with those sort of slim odds. It looks at soccer teams that have been priced 1.20 or...

Re: Armchair Endzone 2011 - Discussion Great work from everyone involved to once again get this show rolling. Always adds something extra to the season. Cant wait to get going again.

Re: Armchair Endzone 2011 - Discussion I'm back in and can't wait to get it started. Good luck to everyone this season.

There are some pretty good betting blogs out there (and there are some rubbish ones too). These are the ones that I read and offer good insight and info. Have helped me a lot http://www.bettingexpert.com/blog/ http://www.goal.com/en/news/2994/goal-com-betting http://beyondthebets.com/...

Do any of you guys compete in any free online betting competitions? Just wondering what your experiences have been with them. I'm thinking about going in for this one. 500 Euros a month first prize looks pretty good. Looks like they have competitions for individual sports too. Wish they had an...

All I will add to this thread is that to witness a family member or someone close to you become devoured by schizophrenia is a truly sad and horrific thing.

Did a double major in philosophy at Melbourne Uni about 10 years ago. To be honest, as much as I loved it when I began, it did my head in by the end and any aspirations I had of going on to do post-grad work faded. Just wasnt in my heart. Towards the end, a lecturer told me I shouldnt be writing...

Ok then, very powerful super-intelligent/rational transcendant fairies. Done.

Just wondering what religious folk may have as an answer to this. Not asking why you believe in God but why do you believe in your particular God when there are so many to choose from?

Knew an epic BS bragger and story topper once. Amongst other things, he claimed: * to have done multiple high level drug deals in supermarket freezer sections, assisted by 2 body guards both carrying Uzi's. * he was in witness protection. * invented the concept of the game Tetris. * 12...

Watched series 1 and 2 over the last couple of weeks. Cant believe more people dont know about this show. Dont think Ive seen a TV show thats able to deliver quality drama with depth and thought and at the same time bring the laughs. Awesome show.

I just hope somewhere Chris Lilley is making notes.

The great thing about The Wire, isnt just is authenticity and its great characters and its ability to really kick you in the guts, but the humour. Stuff like the crime scene with McNulty and Bunk, the photocopier lie detector and the scene at the gay bar where you see Rawls in the background...

Nathan Buckley also wasnt a draft pick. He was picked up through some weird state zoning that the Bears had back then that allowed them to claim him as a player from the Northern Territory because he played football there in his youth. Plus as has been mentioned, he was upfront about the fact he...

A Boy and His Dog. Don Johnson stars as a young man wandering a post apocolyptic Mad Max type landscape with his "telepathic" dog. Sure, he's just a young guy seeking food, water and shelter in a harsh and strange world.............but all he really wants is a root. _9ermq_-jog

The Sleeve Tatt jumped the shark a while back I think. Now anytime I see a guy who is getting a sleeve done, I just think they may as well be getting "Unimaginative Herd Follower" tattooed on their arm.

Comedy Central doesnt let people outside the US watch full eps, but you can still watch both Colbert and TDS on the Comedy Central website. You just have to watch each segment individually. On TDS website click on the Videos tab next to the Full Episodes tab and you can watch them from there...

I think we're all well aware 1.87 is terrible 'even money' odds. Its just a game man.

Would Ali have ever lost to James Douglas? Tyson was a force of nature and watching him fight in his prime was awesome. But Ali would have beaten him.

Ok since Centrbet just posted each clubs over/under win totals for 2011, thought I would start a comp and general discussion thread on the topic. You get 50 units to play with and with a Max of 10 units for any one bet, so you have to make at least 5 "bets". Here's the Centrebet numbers...

TAB take a big slice out of their odds, especially at this time of the year. As far their Top 8 odds at the moment, they are taking roughly 9% out of those odds. In terms of that market, about $1.83 is 'even money'. In other words, none of those TAB odds are good value. If the market...

Very few TV shows make you feel like youre watching a great film, but thats what The Wire was like. I watched all 5 series in about a 8 week period, knocked over Season 5 in about a 36 hour span. Couldnt get enough of it. Compelling storylines threading through one another, and great...

Re: Armchair Endzone (2010): Discussion & Updates Congrats to Moo and the other winners this season. Nicely done guys. Disappointing not to be able to defend the title, just couldnt get in the groove this season. And my attempts to swing the bat and come home on the back of underdogs failed...
