AFL Round 1

[ThePezDispenser]

I was on carrazo most posseions at $8.95 for group one and simpson at $4.30 for group 2. Only put 10 on each but won $140ish.

So Simpson did win Group 2.

I was looking into him but he is able to put in some absolute shockers so i was put off a bit and left Group 2 alone. I was only able to get 8's for Carrazzo but was happy with that only had a 5'er on him for most possies and had Yarran, Betts and Any other player for most goals but the price was split by 3. Was cheering for Setanta to miss that last goal And was hoping Yarran could snare another at 23-1.

I'm by no means a big punter, i just wanted to be interested in the game that i thought would be an absolute blowout!

I'm thinking selwood to win group one $4.50 is very good value.

I like that at 16's... Nice

 

[aflratings]

Port Adelaide the biggest move of the week for AFL, they could be a very high scoring team this season especially before winter hits at AAMI Stadium.

 

[GoodesStuff]

Hawthorn under 39.5 x Sydney/St Kilda under 15.5 x Brisbane under 39.5 @ $16.56.

Im taking seperate bets on the last two of yours. Only need 1 for a nice profit.

Quick question..

What's the difference between St Kilda under 39.5 on the margin and St Kilda - 15.5 on the line?

New to betting.

New to betting.

StK at -15.5 means they have to win by 16 or more. 15.5 is the start they give the Swans.

 

[RoosterLad]

Do you mean St Kilda to win under 39.5??

If they won by 8 points for example, you would win on that bet but not the -15.5 as that means they need to win by 16 points or more.

 

[HeavyPop]

Ah, okay, I get it now. Thanks for the help guys.

 

[Gerrard_to_Torres]

A couple of optimistic Multi's..

Top Goal Scorer: Ricky Petterd (Melb/Haw) x Giansiracusa (WBD/Coll) @ $1586.

Most Disposals: All Group B - Grimes, McVeigh, Kerr & Swallow @ $866.25.

Good luck

 

[HeavyPop]

I'm thinking of taking this multi:

Collingwood to beat WB @ $2.25
St Kilda to beat Swans by under 39.5 @ $2.25
Cronulla to lose to South Sydney by under 13 @ $5

to get a return of $506.20

 

[Gets!]

For me margin betting is rubbish.

I can think of nothing worse than the side you backed leading all game comfortably and then a point or a goal scored 'meaninglessly' after the siren which ruins your bet.

I am a straight win betting man.

Have had the 2 bets so far this round on Carlton and then into Geelong.

I don't do multi's as I prefer to do it manually so as you can withdraw from the bet if you like and take your winnings.

Will be getting on Brisbane for the win tonight.

Good luck people!

Betting on the margin does add value though, tough to make a lot of profit on 1.20/1.30 odds unless you really load up on them. Then you run the risk of an upset and losing a lot of money for the chance of little return.

 

[Gets!]

Yeah definitely see your point.

I just like the simplicity of straight betting and not having to stress about rushed behinds etc

Yep exactly. You need to get 5/6 right at 1.20 just to break even. A couple of upsets when you have loaded up on the shorties can spell trouble. Instead, you can get half of them right under 40 points and your ahead.

Yes it does suck, I was on Essendon at the line last night and they were looking ok but then collapsed. I didn't see the game but it sounds like Geelong kicked a goal in the last minute to **** that line up.

 

[Gets!]

Put $50 on Hawthorn to be up at half time.

Don't mind those bets either because it makes the game more interesting and is straightish.
