It's not my bet, its Shepp's. If I ever feel inclined to bet my account with someone you can be sure I'm quite capable of formulating a bet of my own.So why don't you join in on the bet?
Though I admire Shepp's courage greatly I do have to be honest and admit I'd never bet my account over something as hard to predict as weather a bloke who is bound to be offered contracts larger than any player in the history decides to stay or go.
Money has a hideous power over people- just look at Ablett. If it was simply a question of loyalty I'd be 100% confident Buddy will stay but who in their right mind would knock back an extra $500k or so per year? Big dollars, big temptation. Buddy deserves to be paid that much too and I bet he knows it.
