Draw Insurance - Just an idea I use

[mollyfud]

Hi Guys,
Long time no post but with the GF on Saturday, I thought I would share a thing I do. For those lucky enough/blessed to get Grand Final tickets, the cost can be large! Could you afford to go again next week if there is a draw? What if you could insure yourself against the huge cost for a fraction of the cost?

Well you can! There are organisations that offer "Draw Insurance". The organisation I went to gave me a $34 of value to $1 of cost for insurance! I took it up for $35 to pay for tickets next week at the cost of about $1200.

What are these organisations? Betting Companies! If you are like me and would hate to pay big money next week for tickets to the game but would also hate to miss out, perhaps having a bet on the draw to cover the cost of those tickets even if that money was wasted if there is no draw. $35 isn't a lot for the insurance value it gives. Heck, what do tickettek charge for there insurance on tickets?

Just an idea. Good look to all.

from memory of the 2010 draw, wasn't the cost to attend the replay significantly reduced??

you could be over insured molly.

This is the reverse of Ned Flanders not having house insurance because he saw it as gambling.

A lot of the corporate market would drop away for the replay wouldn't it? Was anyone at the last one to comment on atmosphere - I'd have thought more fans less corporate = better vibe, at least until StK failed to make much of a contest.

Done it every year so im down on the whole

My $10 got matched with no upper limit. Almost barraking for the draw !i get AFL silver membership with the change

Sportsbet. Youd be up for nearly five grand for your $35 molly

If it's a draw I won't be going to the replay. I would have already died due to a cardiac arrest.

There is a draw every 96.006 games.

That's not very good odds. Seems to me a rip off.

Your probably right but what it comes down to for me is I'm happy to risk the $35 to ensure I can afford to go to a replay grand final! It's a small price to pay!
