Nope, I'm American. And holy Jesus, this is not looking good all of a sudden.

GroundnPound · 06-06-10, 04:11 AM

I swear I am going to lose

TwoWays · 06-06-10, 04:12 AM

No we are not.

griffdog · 06-06-10, 04:13 AM

Time is not running out fast enough!

Gee · 06-06-10, 04:13 AM

ah what a great game.. 2 mins left. 9 points.

GroundnPound · 06-06-10, 04:14 AM

What is with teams blowing damn 45 point leads

GroundnPound · 06-06-10, 04:15 AM

38 seconds for us survive

TwoWays · 06-06-10, 04:16 AM

We won at halftime.

GroundnPound · 06-06-10, 04:16 AM

Aren't I lucky today first with sydney and now with this game...

TwoWays · 06-06-10, 04:18 AM

All that fake drama for nothing. You're going to have a heart-attack if you have these swinging emotions on every game.

griffdog · 06-06-10, 04:18 AM

Yes! Made it way too close for comfort there at the end, but I can go to sleep in a fantastic mood now. Congrats to all of us who bcked the Pies! I must say...I might have to start watching this stuff more, it's exciting.

What channel gives the AFL over there?

What do you think of the sport

griffdog · 06-06-10, 06:22 PM

Managed to find a stream online for it.

I have to say, I'm hooked already. Same thing with rugby. I started watching and betting on it recently, and when I watched my first Super 14 match, I was glued to the computer for the entire match instead of getting up every few minutes or looking away like I might with other sports.

Don't think I'll be putting as much on every match I bet as I did on Collingwood, but I think I'll make at least one or two plays a week, just for fun and so I can have a rooting interest while I watch.

Welcome to the world of AFL griffdog.

GroundnPound · 06-06-10, 08:27 PM

I am from South of Sydney and no one talks about AFL around here but I am starting to like it way more then League.

What sucks about League is a knock on stops everything did you's watch Warriors vs Dragons

, AFL is more like soccer as it flows on.

camel · 06-06-10, 10:05 PM

I prefer watching Union than League... much more free flowing with advantages, rucks and mauls.

I also find that league is harder to cap... the teams are just too hard to predict sometimes.

GroundnPound · 06-07-10, 10:49 PM

Guys have you seen the AFL ML's for next week.

Richmond is a favourite for the first time ever after giving up getting lines like +45 all season.

I think if they are favourites they should beat down West Coast

Wade Dwayne · 06-08-10, 01:06 AM

Is melbourne getting a 33 point start a bad line? They seemed to match up evenly earlier in the season.

I don't think its a bad line. I think Collingwood got their shit together now, haha.

I can't see any lines yet, where you getting yours from?

camel · 06-08-10, 02:21 AM

Just having a look at this weeks game... might be a tough round.

Gee · 06-08-10, 02:47 AM

lines are up everywhere now...

i have a feeling the richmond/west coat line might be a trap, but i'm not going to get sucked into trying to pick which team will play less badly. I actually think that the bookies have it pretty close to right.

if the total is about 180, i'd be having a good hard look at the under...

hedgejob · 06-08-10, 03:05 AM

If WC played like they did against Geelong they'll beat Richmond. Who will stop Nick Nat?

Hawks are giving 3 goal start to Adelaide? and Bateman suspended? Hawks are one of the worst ATS sides esp in Tassie.

Freo's pace will kill the Saints.

Collingwood have a habit of not showing up to games they are expected to win easily.

GroundnPound · 06-08-10, 04:10 AM

Guys I never play totals because my book Pinny doesn't offer them I might find another book to play totals for AFL. Which book do you's recommend?

Hawthorn are paying $2.50 to make the 8 I think they for sure will be make it

peterw111 · 06-08-10, 05:48 AM

Good odds for them to make the eight................................... ..

Only problem is your money is locked away for a while........Could be earning more INTEREST each week on other GOOD BETS....

I'm tempted to take Eagles this week, gonna wait and see which way the line moves.

GroundnPound · 06-10-10, 07:50 PM

Guys Sydney ML is above $2.00 and it is such a good play. I got a great feeling about it.

Gee · 06-10-10, 10:50 PM

Carlton - 22.5

I'm going big on this. Follow or fade... up to you.

I have posted a very short write up in GnP's thread.

camel · 06-10-10, 11:19 PM

This week's AFL just seems a bit tough. All the lines seem about right, there's no real stand out.

With the Blues, you just don't know which outfit will turn out, they seem to have a lapse from time to time and although the Roos are rubbish, they can put up a fight as well.

Because i'm still left in the LMS comp in Sportingbet, i've just chosen Dockers -7.5. All the others seem tough.

Gl to everyone!

Did you watch Mumford on the weekend the guy is a stud, he is going to dominate Port Adelaide, Sydney is the play of the round bro.

WillC · 06-11-10, 01:10 AM

oh ma god, Richmond are favs.
Hopefully I sleep in ultra late after watching the wc so I don't fall for this trap

too tempting tho .. Eagles aren't that bad surely.

Yeah, i saw Mummy against the Bombers last weekend. Great game by him.

I know Sydney won last week but they've been pretty shithouse the previous weeks. Power have been struggling too, but they know how to turn it on (no pun intended!)

I don't think i'll be too tempted to put any money on AFL this week.

nocode1 · 06-11-10, 02:51 AM

im thinking of taking Carl/North total over 188.5

thoughts?

nocode1 · 06-11-10, 02:55 AM

guys if carlton kick the first goal of the game get on live betting haha.

When they have started well this year they have gone on and had a good win.

So your right Camel, you never know which Carlton side will show up....pisses me off cause i follow em.

Oh and look for North to kick 12.12.84

....they do it all the time, or close enough

Gee · 06-11-10, 03:43 AM

188.5 is too high. if they have 15 bad minutes, it can be hard to get there, particularly if north are crap, as i expect they will be.

whilst i think its likely it'll be over, i'm not going to play it.
