If anyone really thinks Losing It will win, why wouldn't you hedge by backing it?

 

[ronpingwins]

Late money spot on so far. This doesn't bode well

because I hate it and its already into $2.50
cant believe this

 

[notarobot]

So confidence has to win now lol

 

[Browney2006]

Completely forgot that Sicko Mode featured Drake...

Thought I had 2 Drake Top 50s in the bag.

Features don’t count, has to be main artist

I’ve lost money cause of a feature artist before...

But it’s alright cause they alright put the money in my account...

Confidence still the favourite but it has to be Losing it that wins. the late money was due to a leak it wins not because they knew it comes 2nd

Yeeeeew! I hedged $50 on Losing It, as it had me worried.

Still up $850, so can’t complain!

Just need to find a way to craftily withdraw $400 of it which is from a bonus bet!

$6000 collect went harder than I wanted and was shitting myself all arvo. fun times now.

So I’m pretty sure what happened with the leak is quite early on songs were preprogrammed up to number 4 with the top 3 to be played on the spot so the leak was the top 3 so people just hedged across all 3.

agree. top 3 were told they may get a phone call and they dont actually know who wins. fisher told all his mates to bet on it. All makes sense now for next year

 

[jack 23]

so I was right it was fisher spreading the rumour he wins. so happy he didnt

Well played lads - did very well here, and can thank some here for the leads.

Will look to repay the favour when I start the annual Brownlow thread in a few weeks.

 

[Liljam]

Top job fellas good money for another year, losing it had me sweating heavy haha

Keen for a brownlow thread, generally delivers good results.

**** was an absolute wreck before the final five, was well aware of the late money for Fisher and Sicko mode and thought it was gone, realising Confidence won was a genuinely amazing moment, was so pumped.

Really genuinely appreciate the help from everyone, it was tight but got the dream result from everything.

 

[jack 23]

I did some hunting around just a note for next year. apparently 100-4 is pretty well known within the whole ABC team (they have to do prerecorded shit, call artists etc) but the top 3 is a bit tighter. They can work out who's top 3 by elimination and obviously Sicko Mode and Losing It were well price so they got smashed when this info got out. They probably covered all 3 artists and still made money.

I guess that explains why Losing It shortened so much but didnt actually win.

Just worth knowing for next year, the songs that shorten like that on the day of the Hot100 are likely to be in your top 3.

Thanks for all the discussions everyone.

Was quite the struggle on the punt this year (for me at least)....for two reasons I think:

* the odds weren't anywhere near as generous this year
* the tunas weren't anywhere near as accurate this year

My 'profits' came from just two results basically:

* Confidence number one (and I was certainly losing mine as the day wore on)
* Sunflower ahead of Clothes I slept in and Clarity

Managed to get the better odds on both of those....hence the 'profits'

Still a great day...even though I couldn't help but feel 2018 wasn't the greatest year in music.
