Mega Thread General MFC Discussion Part III

Real watch on KPFs getting a hold of us right now. Naughton, Casboult and Wright have all had great games against us this year. Marshall and Georgiadis this week, then Hoges, then Lynch.

Fingers crossed Lever is back - makes an enormous difference. Petty not far away either.

Is the VFL stream on AFL app working for anyone?

It failed me, but I thought that might be just me and gave it up

No , just goes to a black screen. Not the first time the VFL broadcast has had issues.

Not really. Petty and Lever are out and we are still 3-0. Smith's been very good but he ain't an intercepting defenders arseh*le and Tommo is looking beat.

I don't think it's an issue in the slightest

I feel buoyed when you become strangely positive

meanwhile I feel like im being betrayed.

Me too, but I don’t think I have ever written the word buoyed on BF before so I was trying something a bit different

Tommo will come good. Needed a few weeks in the seconds to readjust but has stepped up well enough.

Don't think there's anything strange if you know my evening lol

Dunno thought he was better this week but he's gone from not a quick footballer to the Ox in 2000

 

[Ando727]

Yeah, that was my impression of him too. Moves like treacle. I think he's going to have to work on that or there are others who will go past him. We've got enough height in May, Lever and Smith - so he can't just rely on his size to stay in. No reason he can't build on his speed and agility though, if he wants it bad enough.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Probably will take Tommo about another few weeks to get back to what he was pre-ACL, though he is trying to speedrun the Lever path, trying to do it in half the time.

 

[Tulip]

This is exactly why he wasn’t named until last minute against the Dogs despite being ahead of Smith in the pecking order. Clearly needs weeks in the legs because he’s bloody slow

The Americans have to always make everything seem bigger, don't they?

How could you logically argue that displaying +285 makes more sense than just saying $2.85?

never realised that, ****ing stupid americans

Yeah they do the odds to $100 not to $1


However when you are at a racetrack it really goes whacky



Being big racing fan I hit up a race track when I was there years back at was confused as ****

They have a win, place (top 2) & show (top 3) as opposed to our win & place (top 3). So a $20 EW bet ended up setting me back $60 instead of $40

However that isn't even the weird part. It's the fact that places & show are to a $2 split not a $1 split. I remember thinking I had won $80 or something and only got $40 back. After some frustrating back and forth the lady at the tote explained to me how their dumb ass system works

So 4/1 on a win plays $4 for a dollar bet

But 4/1 on a place only pays $2 for a dollar bet

Cannot seriously work out the logic off this at all!

wtf is that. seriously stupid.
what's even the point of an each way bet then?

top 2, the win, place & show isn't so bad, probably just favors the bookie more

I remember buying a form guide when I was there. Looking over it for like 5 minutes and telling my mrs I have no idea what the **** I am reading lol

I remember finding out the hard way here that oh NFL bets, if you bet head to head but the team wins by less than 3 it counts as a drawn bet and you lose lol

Surprised to hear multiples of 100 are very difficult for Aussies.

Must be some Canadian horseshit. Never heard of anything like that.
