I've popped in the sbrchat once, was surprisingly low numbers considering how many people were online in the forum. I'll drop in there next week when the footy's on though. Alternatively if any of you guys are familiar with irc I have a bnc idling on austnet for general aussie chat & efnet for the mma chans. I can set up an aus sportsbet channel for us to use if there's enough interest.

i havent used IRC since i was in high school a decade ago!

chat software is shit, but gets a few people in. i think most people don't know about it or just cant be bothered with it... its better that way anyway.

no-one to cheer footy with me though (other than shari), so i give the late night yank degens, who are up at 3AM when the game starts, some good plays if i can

Outside of site specific channels like for torrents and streams irc has really died off. Mostly in part due to the advent of social networking and the despos going to free dating sites. Browser based chat software is always crappy and most people either don't care about chatting to random people, especially as 99.9% of the times you join a chatroom there's some kind of e-fight or pissing contest going on. Plus most "nerds" - tech heads who have been around the net since the early days prefer to use a client, I believe I searched for irc on sbr to see if the chat was irc based and I could bypass the browser applet. If so I would've idled in there too.

Noticed sportsbet.au have lines up for AFL round 3 already: Bulldogs $1.02 - Suns $14.00

[Alt75]

Bulldogs vs Suns starts in 15 mins.

Anyone watching or is it going to be too one sided to sit through?

Will probably end up looking like a Bulldogs training session imo.

[Pride]

suns cover the 70.5 easily

[Alt75]

Dogs by 45 nearing half time.

[Alt75]

Dockers easily in control up by 32 at half time. Crows looking sluggish, doubt they can turn this around or get the -16.5

Bulldogs by 69, beginning of 4th Q.

I'm gonna lay off parlaying my line and margin picks. Might take the Hawks straight to hopefully get a few bucks back.

[Restrepo]

so glad i didnt have to watch the adelaide game, ill just catch the low lights during the week. Going to be alot of flicking channels tonight the the swans V weagles and the hawks game

[Alt75]

As a Melbournian I should be ashamed of myself betting on South Australian scum.

Aside the Adel/Freo game sb's have been spot on with the even money lines with the first 2 games
Collingwood -27.5 (raised to -29.5 on Friday afternoon) win by 28
Bulldogs -70.5 win by 71

Won't get the Swans v Eagles down here, will watch Hawks v Richmond if there's a live stream and keep up with Swans v Eagles on radio.

[Restrepo]

leaning towards the Bombers today under 39.5, no hayes for the saints and they have been very out of form. Can they keep up with the bombers run????????

Can't find any value in any of the other games, possible Brisbane line not thinking i'll leave it alone

[Alt75]

Bad luck on the Bombers under 39.5, with the straight odds being close to even I didn't wanna risk the margin on that so padded it with Cats 15.5 to take it over evens, even though I was going to stay away from multi's with margins/lines. Not surprised to see the Saints got blown away though.

I should have left the Demons v Lions pick your own line alone in retrospect, thought Demons would easily cover 20.5.
