Certified Legendary Thread 2015 AFL Power Rankings

[DrEvil_]

Last update

The AFL Power Rankings retire as the best tipping model in Australia, 1000% profit and with the Gold Coast Suns on top of the rankings.

Personally I am going spend more time with my family and finish my novel.

Thanks Roby. Thread delivered right till the end, and I cannot think of a more fitting end than driving a bunch of flogs crazy over the worst bottom of table clash.

Disappointing to see Roby finally succumb to all the harassment he's received in this thread from the haters (looking at 2x Flog of the week winner, ChunkyChicken ), he really was #sobrave to fight the good fight for so long against such unfavourable odds (mostly set by the bookies). Good luck to you Roby, I hope that the novel proves both as successful and entertaining as your BF posting career.

#standbyRoby

Who will do the rankings for the rest of the year?

Surely we need these now, more than ever?

He's the hero BF needs, but not the one we deserve.

Cmon Roby I'm sure we can have a whip around to pay your Internet bill and keep the power rankings going.

The Roby Review
Celebrating trollery since June 2014
----------------------------------------

Round 13

For this emotional edition of the Roby Review, please play this youtube video in another tab whilst reading on.



I'll wait for it to start.

































Round 13.

- Of 15 Bets placed this round, only 1 came in. (which had also been hilariously hedged against in the tips)
- The $5,650 (sorry 5,650 Beans) staked on the Suns this round was the highest bet of the season
- Current position now underwater 15,050 Beans. Of which 1,560 Beans are in long term placements.
- Should Footscray finish top 4 Roby will return 10,400 Beans (as a combination of Bulldogs Top 8 and Top 4 placements).

On a personal note.

It's been an amazing journey following the Power Rankings.

These threads could be archived, bound and sold to Post Graduate level University Marketing students for lessons in Trolling Mastery.

I hope this is not the end of Roby. Thread has delivered so much for it to be cut down at such levels of magnificence.

Roby thank you for giving me such interest in bottom of the table clashed like Blues Suns.

To paraphrase Iceman to Maverick -
"I'll bet with you anytime".

Vale

I forgot how well it was going as recently as rd 8. Spectacular fall from grace.

Will absolutely miss this thread though.

Let him be - nothing bad has ever happened to someone who keeps chasing their losses.

What do we do with the 3900 or so remaining beans?

Gold Coast for the spoon?

Gold Coast for the spoon?

Was thinking more immediate double or nothing say on Sydney at the line vs port. If we win risk it all next week and so on.

 

[brendan84]

Vale Roby. I'll never forget his inaccurate tip at the Gabba.

If anything serious can come of it, it'll show inexperienced gamblers what happens when you do the worst possible thing you can do: chase losses.

Guys, don't you see.. the Power Rankings are not dead.. they can never die!

The Power Rankings are the busker on the street, the high-powered media mogul, the first generation Pakistani immigrant, the Mr Bankrupt Damn Cheap guy.
The Power Rankings are you.
The Power Rankings are me.
The Power Rankings are humanity and inside each and every one of us.

Vale Roby, and thankyou, we will never forget

Roby may be gone in body but his spirit lives on, and He has given us this gift of 3900 beans to share with the people of the world so that they might also perceive of the kindred human spirit. It is our duty to multiply these beans until each and every one of the 7 billion souls on this green earth may have their own bean and know what it is to share one heart.

To this end I propose:

Gold Coast v North 3900 WIN 3.20 Gold Coast Away Sportsbet

and have the worst trait you can have on the punt: ego

i do quite well with punting but never forget it can be a cruel mistress and never think i or my methods are infallible. roby did as evidenced by his move to full kelly staking - a method that will improve your profits 9 years out of 10 but bust you the year things go bad - as we've seen

Except all his prior year "profits" were undoubtedly bullshit.

If we put it on something paying at least 5.13, it goes back over 20,000 if we win. So I suggest we wait later in the week to see what exactly what headstart GC have to give to get $5.13+ and put it on that

 

[Furn2]

At least give us the formula so if there's ever someone genius enough they can carry on your work.

 

[AlibiMonday]

Exactly - as soon as he was held to account for his claims by sthmelb_dimmies - the "system" tanked.

Is Roby Brent Guerra?

This is what you do with the remaining 3900 beans...

Multi at about $4. let it roll.

The Roby journey over the last couple of years has played out like a classic greek tragedy emphasising the pitfalls of hubris.

The audience eagerly watched on in full knowledge of the flaws of the central protagonist, knowing full well that those flaws would be his downfall.

Roby finally succombed all guns blazing, Tony Montana Scarface "say hello to my little friend" style

 

[Tippett2Goal]

I suggest as a tribute to the power rankings the remaining 3900 should continue to be bet on Gold Coast, who suffered a 90 point umpiring differential in their game against Carlton, are undoubtedly the #1 side in the comp.
