Thought we could do the same as last year.
Pick a team in the Extra Preliminary Round draw, and follow them the whole way through. So if your real team is taken out before the final, you've at least followed 1 line the whole way through, and you might decide to follow that line in the final as a neutral.

But did the USA actually provide the decisive elements?

They did after all:

* Conduct the vast majority of the heavy lifting in the Pacific, and almost all of it in terms of resources and infrastructure.

* Provide the Russians with vast amounts of supplies and equipment that without which, the Russian war effort would have...

I thought we could probably use a thread to keep all betting related odds, info, value, multi's etc in the one spot. It can be for any league, tier, competition you like.

I'll kick it off with one of my thoughts for this week.

What does it mean that no GA will be available, and that the best way to secure a seat is to buy a membership so you can get tickets during the pre-sale process?

I see Crows members get a pre-sale process as well, but is that with any type of Crows membership or only the dual one?]]> 63 Round 1: Carlton vs. Port Adelaide @ Etihad Stadium - Sunday 7.30 EST Sun, 09 Mar 2014 17:06:37 +0000 http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/round-1-carlton-vs-port-adelaide-etihad-stadium-sunday-7-30-est.1051154/ http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/round-1-carlton-vs-port-adelaide-etihad-stadium-sunday-7-30-est.1051154/ Noobz0r Noobz0r View attachment 45527

It's hilarious because somehow I end up being banned from the threads even though they do the same thing over and over again seemingly without any action being taken.
