AFL Round 1

[adii_7]

I'm on Port 1-39 @ 2.25. Not bad odds if you ask me.

2.10 @ tab

 

[asanque]

On North +24.5 at 1.65
Medium bet

Gray and Motlop big outs yet Port keep shortening.

 

[pacemaker]

TABplayer still has Port 1-39 @ $2.27, but I'm not getting on it

 

[RoosterLad]

The Kangaroos are getting smashed right now. Pretty pathetic so far. Need to fight back soon or Port will win by 10 goals.

 

[JuddyBuddy]

Yeah, I had a go at Port 1-39. Wouldn't think North would have much trouble staying within 39 points in these conditions but the are looking hopeless at the moment.

 

[tazlgnd]

port 1-39
Dogs -11.5
Fremantle lead 13-24 at half time
$26.40

 

[Ferris_rules]

lol at all the good posts in here, well done guys !

Good pick on Port.

I did well myself, but in one of my bets needed the Power to win by over 15.5, lol.

Brett Ebert chokes inside the last minute, inside the last minute to score !!!!

Cant complain, arguably this has been my greatest round ever considering the outlay and the returns.

I have had a few unprofitable weeks and at the moment I am sitting on a $8.50 profit which is better than a loss. I am considering the Freo vs Adelaide bet but then again I might just take the $8.50 profit and wait for the week

 

[ThePezDispenser]

Had a wager on Collingwood into Adelaide over the 15.5. But now i have to wait till 8 to watch the game what stupid fixturing!

go all out and put the whole $8.50 on freo

 

[ThePezDispenser]

Nah make it nice and quick.

8.50 on first goal scorer

 

[Gets!]

had a small bet on Port to be up at half time.

Not touching the crows game.

 

[lions_den]

Adelaide will win! Think about it, if you bet on Freo you just know they'll lose! Am I right?

 

[The Big Woofer]

Adelaide to win $1.90 is overs in my book, i'm on.

 

[pacemaker]

go all out and put the whole $8.50 on freo

I have ended up putting a multi which involves Goodwin to get more possys than Bock into Real Madrid to win a home (have won every game at home) Ended up folking out more and putting $20 on this one

 

[Walshy_The_Goat]

Adelaide to win $1.90 is overs in my book, i'm on.

I like your thinking Woofer, i'm on as well. They've now shortened to $1.82, so went with Adelaide -6.5 @ $2.00.

 

[mattys123]

Gratz to all that got on Port, I never got on (got comfy in my seat at Etihad and never moved).

Had 20 on the pies to win under 39.5, actually was cheering as the pies chipped the ball around late.

 

[windyhill]

Port under 39.5.

I likey.

Pffft! So much for that bet. Adelaide are shizen atm!

 

[lions_den]

Still think Adelaide are a chance. If they get the first couple of goals in the second half, Freo have a history of caving in.

 

[dUkezz]

i got a funny feeling the crows will get up.... watch this space

 

[ThePezDispenser]

Theoretically for me they are 52 points down. Here's hoping

 

[The Big Woofer]

I'm far from impressed with my Adelaide win bet, but i've taken Adelaide +29.5 at half time, surely they'll make some sort of run at this?????

 

[ThePezDispenser]

On Adelaide to win the last quarter by more than 3, come on!

It will make up for you wrecking my good multi into Collingwood.

 

[McCrann]

Spewing about this bet I had.

Looked very good at 3/4 time in Bulldogs v Pies - what happened Dogs!!!

Carlton (-15.5) @ $1.85
Geelong (-15.5) @ $1.46
Hawthorn (-15.5) @ $1.41
Sydney/St, Kilda (Either team under 15.5) @ $ 2.85
Port Adelaide/ North Melb (Either team under 15.5) @ $2.95
W. Bulldogs / Collingwood (Either team under 15.5) @ $2.75

All up Odds - 88.053. $10 wagered. Possible return $880.50.

Why do I post this now and not before? Well, had far too many bets to post here and hopefully posting this bet will provide a lesson/advice/hope to you betting guys out there.

Obviously - it was very close to coming off. The mistake I made was not realising Dogs/Pies was going to be on at the same time as Port/North Melb. Thought it was twilight and starting later - silly me didn't check. Could have easily covered myself if I'd thought to look at that when I made the bet.

The point is though - you can have gut feelings about games and be correct. My gut was telling me the Pies would win. Should have stuck with that and had Pies (Under 39.5) as the last leg. Similar odds.

I know i got very lucky on Port/North with this bet, so it wasn't a perfect bet by any means. Just spewing!

Don't feel too sorry for me though - like most on here, the fact most of the favourites got up this weekend meant there was a decent profit made - this would have been the cherry on top at large odds though.

My advice to Gets - who doesn't bet on lines. That's silly mate - you clearly don't have a Centrebet account.

When a half decent team plays Melbourne for instance, or Richmond, or Fremantle away - why would you just take the H2H? You're doing yourself and your bank account a disservice. At least take (-15.5) or even (-24.5) - if there's one thing I learned this weekend - Melbourne & Richmond are probably going to be the 2 best teams to make money off - again. Fremantle away next week looks good as well.

If you don't take lines against these teams, its almost not worth betting!
