    Seeking some advice (sportsbet dispute)

    Is the sarcasm really necessary? Considering I asked politely and acknowledged I could well be in the wrong. Rooster has pegged my thinking – something like… Essendon to finish OVER or UNDER 8th on the ladder OVER = 1-7 UNDER = 9-18 That’s how I read the Barkley market - Matt Barkley to be...

    Seeking some advice (sportsbet dispute)

    You've just put it a lot more clearly than I did. Exactly right. But I can also see both sides. Anyway, I've emailed them and we'll see what happens. But I reckon this will go down as a lesson against assuming anything. Thanks for the advice all, mods can pull the pin on this one now if its...

    Seeking some advice (sportsbet dispute)

    Thanks for the quick replies. I don't remember the wording exactly, and no, didn't take a screenshot. Guess I was a little bit stupid in not clarifying before I submitted, but live and learn I suppose. I can understand where they (and some of you) are coming from. Just a piss poor worded...

    Seeking some advice (sportsbet dispute)

    Hi gents Having a bit of a dispute with Sportsbet, and wanted the advice of some more learned punters. I had a stab at an NFL draft market I liked the look of - USC Quarterback Matt Barkley’s draft position. The Over/Under was set at pick 35.5. I knew he’d fall into the third or fourth...

    I need to declare that I’ve been a Bears fan for years, but I like the Bears to cover that line as well. The Bears offence is several classes above anything Chicago has seen since Payton was going around. It has a good QB and running game, and has finally been giving the receiving tools to...

    Reckon I might do the same until I get a feel for the season, unless one sticks out at me as being really, really stupid (ie, Marshall at 70 yards). Oh well, long season, and things should shake out. And hey, if nothing else, still got 93 or so units to blow or turn into a profit, so no...

    Baltimore play hit, two player props missed (Floyd by 2.5 yards, sadly). Week 1 in the books. My eye is out, especially with the player props. Going to go nurse my pride for a few days, regroup, avoid swinging for the fence and have a slow and steady week two. YTD: 6-8-0 (-7.6 units)

    Agreed Pweter – tough card. I like the Ravens for a small play. Bengals were 0-7 vs playoff teams last year, and Ravens are unveiling their no huddle. At home, I think it’s a good play. Only a nibble though, because I rate the Bengals this year. Also a couple of big props in the...

    Week 1 NFL (Cont): Roethlisberger play went to plan. Pittsburgh couldn’t get the run going very well, Big Ben was warming up after a slow first quarter, mini-shootout in the second half with Manning, but couldn’t quite get there. One more 15 yarder would have done it on the second last drive...

    Looks like I misread that one badly. Romo stood tall and the Giants D-Line couldn’t get it done at key points. And their secondary… let’s not talk about that. Thought I might steal the total with the Giants’ late rally, but it wasn’t to be. On with the week, and while it’s not ideal that...

    NFL 2009 NFL - Week 11

    *sigh* Bears should have won. Forced 3 turnovers and Cutler missed three wide open passes into the endzone. Good bye season.
