The Eternal Punting Thread

I backed it also, should have won easily, bloody pommies.

If he went back to the inside at the 150-200m instead of looking for the gap between two tiring horses at the 100m it wins by half a length.

Pretty unlucky all the same as the run was there but the horse on the outside laid in just as he was about to take the gap and he had to stop riding for a few strides costing him all momentum.

Why are we $1.60 favourites tonight? Not saying we can't win but who are the sickos putting their hard-earned on us at that price?

Lions at $2.30, I'll be getting a good result one way or another tonight.

Made a heap of cash on the Pies/Swans games betting against us. I was one of the nuffies who put $$ on us tonight. Maybe it's more out of hope than anything else, but surely we don't lose 4 on the trot with this side!?
 
my silly bets:

did what I said the game feels like in the game day thread

Dees 1-24 to cover my bets $30 @ 3.20
Lions -29.5 $30 @ 7.5

SGM:

Lions +9.5
Brayshaw 20+
Jackson 20+
Lyons 20+
Hipwood 2 goals or more
$30 @ 17

GWS to beat Brisbane into WC to beat Hawthorn

$12.42

Chucked 100 bucks on it.
Brisbane let teams play all out attack and they have half the camp effected by COVID.

Hawks are super inconsistent and have struggled badly after wins. WC paying like $5 is juicy

That’s pretty solid. Almost every underdog is a good chance this week.
 
How are Richmond favs tonight? Freo great value to get a SGM over the $2 required to use the SB promo imo (back a 3 leg same game multi if one leg fails get bonus bet back up to $50)

Ive gone Freo +1.5 , Serong over 20+ and Short 20+

Maybe ill be proved completely wrong but very happy to be on Freo as outsiders.

Good to see youre a possession count bettor also, one of my mate bets on goal kickers not possessions, usually 3 or 4 goals + hes had some massive returns in the past but cant sniff a collect this year. Ive given up including them as they are generally the leg that *s me.

I try mixing it up, but I'm usually burnt by adding in something at $1.20 (like short getting 20)

Was your mate the fella who put 2k on larkey to kick 5 vs Collingwood a few weeks back at $51? Haha that was mint

Na, hes the type of guy to $20 bet on a 4 or 5 leg multi totalling 200-1 + ....he only missed on one leg last week on a 5 legger for a 6K return, needed Rozzee to kick 3+ vs us. I told him how dumb he was not backing Pickett to kick 5+ instead :tearsofjoy:

Who we taking for Menie Stakes
Cascadian or Western Empire
Damien Oliver perhaps on Alligator Blood

I bet on 3 of them

ImThunderstruck - Another 30ms and it wins :weary:
Western Empire - Disappointing imo, expected more in the straight
Duais - personal fav that I didnt really give much hope to, but couldn't stand to see her go round without a little something on incase she won
