I have a bit of a punt here and there. Sometimes just to add spice to a contest or othertimes where there looks to be a bit of value.

One thing that caught my eye is that sportingbet are offering odds on where bomber thompson will end up next year:

I would have thought he is a sure thing at Geelong but they are paying $1.85 for him to stay.
$1.85 for him to coach essendon and $31 for anything else.

Is this good value or do you think he is a real shot at the bombers? I assume the blokes setting the odds know more than me and am really surprised that they consider him even money to leave geelong for the bombers.
Thoughts?
 
I missed the thread on the mainpage. So much for me trying to keep this hush hush, bigfooty has backed him in from $2.50 to $1.85 to stay at Geelong. In the space of 30 minutes I now think essendon might be good value LOL.

Same thing happened with the Judd market, he opened up at $12 to go to the pies then within hours it had shortened to $3.50. Those who got in early will be looking forward to trade week.

With spring carnival on the horizon we should keep this thread open for those who enjoy a punt.

For those looking for an omen bet Purple Moon is currently paying $13 to win the Melbourne Cup.
 
I love to have a punt, mind you don't even get me started on my brownlow f**k up.

Normally it's on the greyhounds for me.
 
For those who are greyhound fans, here a some tips for Mandurah tonight 27/09...

Race 5 - No 1. Swispec - Be very surprised if it didnt finish 1st or 2nd, should be favourite around the $3-$3.50 mark.

Race 10 - No. 6. Taupe - Trainer is the dad of a mate, should win

Race 12 - No. 2. Valdahlah - Take on trust with this dog, can be slow out of the boxes as he did on his last 2 races and got checked to the rear to run last. Was on him 3 starts back when he jumped straight to the front from box 5 and won by 3 - 4 lengths at 9/1. Each Way

My Quaddie for tonight.

Race 5

Cannington Greyhounds crack me up. It's like you've stepped back to 1988 with all the flannie shirts, mullets, kids with rats tails and handlebar moustaches. :D

Gone a $5 win and a $5 place all-up with your 3 selections Pistol.

He is a big chance to leave the cats. He is still fuming (apparently) with the way he was treated by the board last year. The odds are right, 50-50.

Well given that Essendon have got a coach, probably a strong chance that speculation that Thompson will leave will be a load of rubbish (as per usual).
 
Should we have a competition to determine the number one punter on this board? Everyone starts with an imaginary $20, to bet with on whatever they like across the weekend. The grand final, the races, greyhounds, gloucester park, premier league, whatever. Post your bet(s) totalling $20, and whoever has the most on Monday is the winner.

My dog Rhode Attack is racing tomorrow night at Mandurah, race 5 box 8.
No idea how he'll go though.

My best tip would be Hot Money at Mandurah tomorrow night in race 2, box 1.
Very good 1 eyed dog (literally)
 
dom I think you may have hit on something that may take place in the future ;)

Also don't even talk about performances from dogs, in the space of 2 weeks one of our dogs has been suspended from Mandurah and if it wants to race at Cannington again must run a satisfactory trial. The dishlicker is on it's last chance.

Results

Swispec ran 2nd at $1.60 - very close finish
Taupe ran 2nd at $1.60 - uncharacteristically slow out tonight
Valdahlah was a winner $4.30 for the win $1.80 for the place.

The quaddie - 2nd/1st/1st/3rd - back to the drawing board
 
Judd now paying $1.70 to go to melbourne at sportsbet. Sportingbet have suspended betting.

Still a lot of water to go under the bridge, but it looks like there's something going on.

Apparently he hates the dome, which essentially narrows it down to a two horse race. Melbourne has the worst list of the four clubs, I'll be surprised if he doesn't select the pies.
 
If it was just a matter of Judd choosing a club I'd say Pies aswell.

I think Juddy might try to do the right thing by West Coast and nominate two clubs. Of these two clubs I think collingwood are less likely to outbid the other. Malthouse will probably take a philisophic point of view and back his kids in. The other club would probably justify paying a bit extra for Judd's marketability.

Yea was a bit unlucky, got posted 3 wide for a while then slotted in 1 out 1 back just off the pace, hit the front in the straight but wouldnt run straight, Pro Dansk came over the top.

3 first and a second in the Quaddie - Not Happy, been doing that a lot lately.

I missed the follow up reports on his health but the last time I saw Nikolic he and his mount were headed thru the running rail at Moonee Valley(last Friday night).

Is he OK to ride?
