All that matters is our price to make the final 8. If they believe this stuff, it may give us all a nice little earner.

All I can find is 51/1 to win the flag in 2016.

If the price is $51, it's actually 50-1. The more you know

Haha, true.

Incorrect. 50-1 is $50.

 

[DapperJong]

Incorrect. 50-1 is $50.

I guess it's not true after all

Just saw someone say Burgoyne goes missing under pressure.

Seriously, the bloke is the most clutch player at Hawthorn, possibly the league.

He is a four time premiership player and somehow still the most underrated player in the entire league.

If someone asked me "pick a player from Hawthorn" I'd think long and hard about Roughead/Gunston and then pick Burgoyne anyway. The guy is a bona-fide superstar of the game.

Us: Hickey, Ross, 2nd rd pick (27?)
Dons: Carlisle, 1st rd pick (4)

So Essendon gives up pick four and Carlisle, but still doesn't get pick five.

So Essendon gives up pick four and Carlisle, but still doesn't get pick five.

I'm starting to believe that Saints fans value pick 5 so highly that they wouldn't give it up in a straight swap for pick 1.

They've got someone in mid for that pick it'd be stupid to trade it now....

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

Merrett on a par w Ross, but different players.

From a saints supporter trying to talk up ross in a trade to essendon.

You heard it here folks, we'll be getting a zach merret tier player + 24 for carlisle. Great deal.

Incorrect. 50-1 is $50.

Incorrect. 50-1 also gets you your 1 back, so is therefore $51

The $1 back is irrelevant. The number is the profit you make.

$50 odds #smartgambler

 

[carnthedons]

The $1 back is irrelevant. The number is the profit you make.

You're every bookmakers favourite punter eth, giving away your initial stake.

The $1 is not irrelevant in this context. If I bet $1 on something that is quoted at 50-1 and it comes through, I get $51 from the bookie. Similarly if the price is quoted as $51 and I bet $1, I get $51 back if the bet comes through. Ergo, 50-1 is equivalent to $51 being quoted.

50-1 is $50. The initial stake is always returned. The "odds" are the profit per dollar.

 

[carnthedons]

50-1 is $50. The initial stake is always returned. The "odds" are the profit per dollar.

So if you back something that's $1.12 you get $2.12 back?

You're not across this whole gambling thing are you?

 

[eth-dog]

This is going round in circles. I give up.

 

[daffo]

50 jet fuels -1 steel beam is $50

 

[Loonerty]

$50 means if you bet $1 and win, you get back $50, or a profit of $49.

How come you get the stake back here on top of the odds?

So if you back something that's $1.12 you get $2.12 back?

You're not across this whole gambling thing are you?

But not here?

 

[boncer34]

$50 means if you bet $1 and win, you get back $50, or a profit of $49.

Exactly.

 

[carnthedons]

But not here?

You don't.

You get whatever the quoted price is per unit you bet. All I'm saying is 50-1 is the same as $51, in the same way that $1.12 is about 1-8 on.

 

[carnthedons]

$50 means if you bet $1 and win, you get back $50, or a profit of $49.

exactly, in the olden days that would've been 49/1
