Gutsy bet! Well done.

Probably $20 on some lame ass 100-1 bet. Can't say im very good at the TAB.

 

[Darwi]

A tad over $300 at about $3.30 on the Hawks in the Grand Final. I calculated it out for an even $1000.

 

[Zvim]

$200 on North to win the 1994 grand final placed in the pre-season when our odds were at something around 250:1. ****ing Geelong...

 

[El_Scorcho]

I'm by no means a big gambler, but I had $50 each way on Bartel to win his Brownlow at $9. Won $600, and I was pretty bloody happy about it.

 

[Bomber32]

I put on $200 for the Bombers to win the 2001 flag. Very sadly, we were beaten by the Lions and I didn't collect.

 

[da_daman]

not my bet,
but one of my best mates dad put $50 last year on a multi for geelong to win the flag and bartel to win the brownlow at the start of the season...paid something like 40k in return

worst thing is his not even a cats fan

Yup, that sounds about right. Start of 2007 season, I put $50 on Ablett for the Brownlow at 100-1, and I'm pretty sure I'd put $20 on Bartel to win it at 251-1 (was an online betting agency). Checked my bets half way into the season... Apparently I hadn't bet on Bartel, I'd bet on Ling... (who was also 251-1), clearly not intentional as no tagger is ever going to win the Brownlow... I still wonder if the betting agency changed it on me.

 

[seababoon]

in football.. ricciuto to win brownlow for 50 on the year he won.. then the following year, 50 on ricciuto to finish top 5..

 

[Mitchell Madness]

$10 each way on horse number 5 and $5 each way on the horse in barrier 5 in the 2007 melbourne cup.

the horse $10 each way came in first, $5 each way best came in 3rd. may have been the other way around. my very first cup cup bet, walked away with just over $600

 

[dr nick]

i put $2.50 on the swans to win the 2005 GF.

 

[EagleMan87]

$200 on North to win the 1994 grand final placed in the pre-season when our odds were at something around 250:1. ****ing Geelong...

What makes you think you'd have won had you beaten Geelong?

 

[cammo78]

$20 on Cooney @ $101 for the Brownlow for a $2,020 collect...

 

[tigertiger]

I had 20 on Richo at 301 to 1 this year put the bet on about round 7 after we drew with the doggies. Very very close

 

[MF]

I bet a mate one hundred billion dollars that the swans would finish higher than the bombers last year.


He didn't pay up

 

[00Stinger]

I put $100 on Woewoden @ $23 in 2000 for the brownlow.
I put it on the night before as I thought he would poll well early on. What a bet that was, however the tab would have made their money back off me since then.
On a losing bet I had $250 on Black to beat Conney in the head to head brownlow count this year. Damn right up until the end I thought I had it too.

 

[tonk]

$300 on Paul Kelly to win the Brownlow at about 33 to 1, you little beauty.

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

I'm too young to bet, but I had $50 on Collingwood winning the premiership...bad bet. Only bet I've had on footy.

 

[MP_]

not a footy bet, but a friend of mine has bet with another friend $300 that the Murray will flood up here in Mannum in 2010.

 

[HolyWars]

$20 on Cooney @ $101 for the Brownlow for a $2,020 collect...

haha very nice smartarse

 

[thekid178]

my biggest outlay would be $50 on a single game. but got rolled.

best return on investment from a football bet would be having $10 on James Bartel for the brownlow after round 6 or 7 last year at 17's.

in 2002 i had $5 glenn freeborn to kick the first goal of the game at 80-1, and he hit the post... would've covered my whole weekend, was shattered

 

[Primetime Pricey]

$200 on Adelaide to beat Richmond at the TD a couple years back and had them at -43.5 points paying $1.95.
Richmond rolled them by a kick i think. Wasnt too happy.

Laid $200 each way on Leica Falcon in the Melb Cup a few years back, came 4th.

Put $10 on Collingwood to beat Port in the 2002 Qualifying final at $6 and then chucked $10 on Rupert Betheras 1st goal, collected $300 odd that night. Best night ever.

 

[Stereophonic]

$10 on Sydney in a PS game about 10 years ago...

Picked up nearly $70 ROI...

 

[shoe]

My biggest outlay was probably the GF this year. Not exactly what i'd call huge bets though.
3 bets:
$90 Hawks to win at $2.50
$20 Hodge to win Norm Smith at $13
$25 on Cats to lead at half time (don't remember odds, something like $2)

If Mooney hadn't had that ridiculous sprayed kick at half time I would have collected on all 3 too.

 

[stewpyd2]

$650 on Geelong to score first when they played the kangaroos sometime in 2007. Also had $10 on Chapman first goal. Chapman kicked first goal.
