Brettlels you asked "can it lose" i replied with Carlton wins 40+ you lose lol i honestly did not mean to offend you i honestly thought you were implying it was a SURE bet that's why i said Carlton wins40+ you lose maybe i shouldn't of put "LOL" i apologise if you thought i was attacking you.
Like i said i apologise if you took offence i never meant to sound like an attack.This forum is full of trolls if you thought i was attacking you with that comment you really need to get thicker skin.
MrXYZ iv been here for a while now and i get along pretty well with most people on this forum also i have never trolled anywhere and im not about to start if you believe my comment was me trolling then good luck to you.
WOW kingsr you know me yeah to call me a "shitbloke"#fact??? its idiots like you with posts like this that ruin this forum but i must give you credit i found it pretty cute you put shitbloke in CAPS AND BOLD congratulations hopefully it makes you sleep better at night.Comment -
problem with AFL umpiring now days is they are too whistle happy. Any contested 50/50 balls they pull out a crappy decision for no reason. LET IT GO. if they umpired like it was the grand final every week we wouldn't have a problem. umpires need to keep it simple-if it's 50/50 or any doubt let it go-play on. Just pay the obvious stuff.
the free kick to richmond which resulted in their first goal was a complete joke. push and shove and he pulls out the softest free which resulted ina goal. that umpire needs to suspended for a week or take up netball.Comment -
I was on Carlton 1-39 so suffice to say that was a pretty rough way to start the season. Carlton were clearly the better side though, a 4-5 goal win was about the right margin. Richmond's problem is clearly their defense, their inexperience there will keep them in the bottom 5 teams all season IMO.
Ultrasouth - it was a douche thing to say, just admit it and move on.
Epic games on tonight in league and AFL, with Collingwood having about half their top side out (Krackers, Tarrant, Maxwell, Beams, etc) the play has to be Hawthorn - possibly even in a rout. My concern is every man and their dog is on Hawthorn like they were on Richmond last night, and that just never seems to end up well.Comment -
Having watched so much NRL in the last month I agree, AFL needs to allow a bit more physicality in the game. If it's an even contest and an arm wrestle then let the best man win. Call the obvious holds, shirt pulling, and push in the backs, but err on the side of letting them play. I'd also personally bring in a sin-bin for anyone who's caught trying to milk a penalty, flopping, etc, but I don't trust the current umpires to enforce it right - I'd have it a post-game decision. Same for soccer, have a post-video review and if you're a clear flopper then don't bother turning up for the next game. Soft players better hope I never end up running these codes

Ok what? Fk off and go play in the other sess pit forums if you want to be a wanker.Comment -

In fairness Ben, I think ultrasouth posted it at around half time when the spread was still in the balance.
Brettels was still every chance of winning both bets. I don't think he wasn't rubbing it in after the fact. Brettel's did ask how it lost.
Anyway, this is the more(Aussie) sports forum. Lets move on.
Brettels: you are right about NAB cup form hype. Unfortunately, it is really all anyone has to go on at this stage. I didn't start a thread or go too hard until round 6 last year. I may not post many bets until then. Just half unit leans.
Collingwood are short handed, but this is a different set up to last night. Hawthorn can punish them; Richmond couldn't punish the Blues who were in a different league. I'm going to wait until very late to play this one though. I think it comes back to 7 or 6.5.
LTS: no moves yet. Still at 7.5. Pinny is juicing the +7.5 now though...Comment -
No worries Ultrasouth, you apologised and explained yourself...let's move on...
HAWKS ladies and gentleman!Comment -
Hawks -6.5 now, 1.67 ML.
Storm ML/Hawks ML @2.34
Waiting for the total
Don't worry about it ultrasouth, it was said in-play so sounded like you were having a dig. But, you think i didn't know if they won 40+ it would lose the bet? That was basically the question, will carlton win 40+ !! I'm over it, if you do it again, obvious troll is obvious.
@GEE if your leaning the same over/under as me it will be a sure play for me.
@Garygroundwork you are spot on about the UMPS. Well said. Whats your play tonight?
@Benrama nice writeup, who do you support in afl?Comment -
I think the Crows may be the safest bet this week, apparently no injury concerns and I like their coach. Also like Lions, too much public emotion on Melbourne, I'm sick of it, over-hyped. Loved the way Lions finished off their season last year.
Hawks may be a trap, this will be a popular game, Collingwood for me.
On another note, what if this thread is linked to "Player's Talk"? This is the main AFL thread for this season, or at least that's the intention. Just a suggestion.Last edited by Lookingtostart; 03-29-12, 10:19 PM.Comment -
Nah, more sports has a great vibe to it as a forum.
PT has too many crap that goes with it.
I just locked in Hawks -6.5. There are good reasons to take each side, but I trust a full strength Hawks vs a short handed Pies. I also don't really rate Buckley from what I know and have seen, so its a different pies team we are looking at today. New coach, about a dozen players out of their best 22.. If you look at the team list, it isn't dramatically different from the team that got thumped by the Crows in the NAB cup. The Pies unknowns did not impress me then. I know its hard to read into the NAB cup, but its all we have... unless you are willing to just wager on faith.
I agree that this is definitely a danger game... we'll see what happens
Brettels: my lean is under. I see bet365 has under 175.5. That is probably about right. I will probably take it anywhere around 180, but I doubt I'll get that lucky.Comment -
I dunno gee, i like the over if its 175.5Comment -
Anyone think that the Crows wont win by more than 30?Comment -
My bets tonight
Hawks/Storm @2.34
Line & over/under double, hawks-6.5 &over 176.5 @3.65
Hawks/Pies over 176.5 @1.88
Good luckComment -
Best of luck on your plays tonight guys. Still have not made up my mind, myself.Comment -
Can't back against my pies tonight, even though the number of outs (and questions over the replacements like Keefe, Rounds, Sinclair, and other new kids as well as marty back for his first game) is large, and I wouldn't be confident of a win. Think we could still put in a good effort, the midfield looks alright, and we should have the advantage in the ruck. Also think Cloke/Dawes/Fasolo will be a very potent attack this year. Bit undecided, think I might go a soft little bet on the first goalkicker just for an interest, and leave the line betting for later in the round.Comment -
Get on the Crows -24.5 now guys. I have hit it for a unit. This closes at about 30 IMO.
Why are you playing $1.88 lines brettels?
Even friggin' bet$3.65 are better than that and they are horrid!Comment -
Where'd you get 24.5? It's 27 at a few books I just quickly checked.Comment -
the 1.88 is only on totals, i do have the hawks -6.5 @2.00 but they will go back to 1.92 next week. It's where my money is and it doesn't bother me, totals stakes are always lower than 80%+ of my bets and more often get put into multi's. it is a shit price i know but it doesn't bother me.Comment -
Pies +7.5Comment -
Kingsr, snapped it up at bwin when I posted the play.
It is still at 24.5 now.
They don't update their lines quickly, but they are always at $1.85, so they don't have to.
I find WillHill and soem of the other UK books are the same. They are happy for you to pay -120, so a few points line move won't make a difference.
I think the line moves (and has already) big toward crows though.
GO HAWKS TONIGHT!@Comment -
sometimes a spade's a spade, go Hawks!Comment -
I can kiss the over good bye already, looks like colliwobbles are backComment -
What a 2nd quarter, 13 goals (14 including behinds)Hawks are "delicious"Comment -
Hey guys did some research, last year when a team played in Perth the week after they failed to cover the spread 16 out of 19 times. I think this is the result of West Coast and Freo improving. When they were easy beats the few years before it was still roughly 9-11 from 18-20 times. Just food for thoughtComment -
Good shit Brettels!Comment -
I made quite a few bucks on your Hawks/Storm pick, thanks & good luck tomorrow.
Comment -
Nice work brettels
I'm going with freo/Geelong over 178.5 - 1 unit
Also find the essendon/north 204.5 quite juicy, just waiting to see if Petrie plays
Multi is still alive alsoComment
! Perhaps they knew about Hodge in advance? What else I wonder...
