Anyone bet the Aussie Grand Final on ESPN Classic tonight?

FYI.. also its only the grand final that gets re-played, all the other finals in previous 3 weeks would have gone to OT if there had been a draw..

This is the Pinny Explanation:

Football codes: including Australian Rules, Rugby League, Super League and Rugby Union. Wagers will be paid on the Final result of a contest (normal time or extra time where applicable). In the event of a draw (tie) as the final result - moneyline wagers on either team will be graded as half face value of the ticket. Half the bet is paid off at the quoted price, and half the bet loses.

Of course I'd love a push.. But I'm sure glad I had 3/4 of my bet back in the end... As Shari said, anyone offering a tie would have got f'd

They should have a 10 or 20 minute overtime.

Anyone see a line out yet for the rematch?

It will probably come out at about 6/6.5. But lines are not out yet.

Collingwood -10.5/ St Kilda +10.5... its out now

Collingwood -10.5/ St Kilda +10.5... its out now

Is St. Kilda still some good value here?

Is St. Kilda still some good value here?

For me, yes. Need to wait and see what the teams say this week and find out how individual players pulled up after that match before I put a bet in though.

[Aussiecapper101]

this one is so much harder to call than yesterdays play.. But yeah I think this is value it will be backed in all week. St Kilda are a team that wont give up they play til death even if there 5 goals down they wont be done they have their mind on the job at hand.. however they dont have the quick scoring potential that Collingwood do. They are good at shutting teams down also but if collingwood get a little lucky with their kicking and put on a burst then it could slip away. With that being said Im taking the saints small now and will live bet during the game if collingwood get off to a good start cos theres value there

Ive since analyzed the game ahead - Collingwood vs St Kilda Aussie rules grand final rematch this coming weekend and I am confident on St kilda covering the +10.5 here. With last weekends match being so 'intense' it appears thats only going to work in St Kildas favour this week as its predicted the intensity of the game wont be as high therefore the more skilled players will shine through this being St Kilda in my opininon. Their forwards can kick straighter their midfielders are cleaner disposal and better stamina and their defense is shaky at times but looking solid again lately. Collingwood have hit their peak a little too early this year (in my opinion) but dont be afraid if they sneak away to an early lead though.. great time for a live bet!!. If this match ends in a draw you'd be happy to know there is extra time this time round!
St Kilda +10.5 for me
wish me luck
PS this is no heart bet I dont go for either of these sides.. GL to anyone betting on this Aussie football match

That sport may be more exhausting than Rugby or Soccer..

No sport on earth comes even close to Aussie rules football. Those guys are true gladiators.

Without knowing anything about the sport or teams, I would say the dog can hang with the favorite for one game, but it becomes harder in the next game.

I definately would usually agree but this one isnt much of an underdog.. Collingwood have alot of supporters that have been on the band wagon for weeks (low odds) and St Kilda just quietly go about their business and learnt from losing in a close grand final last year against what they call "the team of the century" being Geelong that Im sure they wont cough this up lightly..
