and i fancy the other still kicking 2 or 3.Trying decide if I should go this or tippa/stringer 7+ @11 as well. I fancy one of them kicking 4 or 5
Really hoping you hedged...Have a $200 bonus bet on a ~$18 multi, last leg Fremantle +40.5 for a 3400 collect. Don't really have a good read of this game so do I ride it out or put $1000 on Dogs 40+ at $4.00 on SB and essentially eliminate my risk at a loss ($1000 less return if the bonus bet hits).
Any reason why Essendon can't do what Adelaide did a couple of weeks ago to Gold Coast? ~$35 for 100+ worth a throw at the stumps.
I have a funny feeling about the GC suns vs Essendon game. Apparently the players all took their golf clubs with them.
Anyway
Mckernan 3 goals @7.5 SB
seems ok value
nice pick, regretting not putting a little on that 3g+ one too.Thanks for this one
I went McKernan to kick 2+ at 3.30 and managed to get him kicking 3+ at 9.50.

You win both bets if Coll wins by anywhere between 34 and 46 points. So a pretty big reward.Newbie here - but how do you actually make money off such a deal?
Do you back Collingwood at Sportsbet and Suns at Bet365 both on the line?
That’s not profitable is it?
Or do you do the above and then load up with in game live betting as the game evolves?

Downside if you miss the middle is one bet wins and one bet loses so you pay the vig on your winning bet. So you cop a small loss.
Overall if the middle is large then it's highly profitable.
Yep what mookieb said. Assuming you get both bets at 1.9 (B365 is slightly higher at 1.91) you're effectively getting odds of $18 for the middle to land. For margins of 13 points TAB usually prices their super margins (especially around the line) at about $5, so it's way over the odds. If the middle was less than a goal it wouldn't be such a good bet.Newbie here - but how do you actually make money off such a deal?

Ok thanks - just to confirm the GC+46.5 no longer exists at B365? All I can see is +32.5Yep what mookieb said.

No, you have to get on right away before the line shifts.Ok thanks - just to confirm the GC+46.5 no longer exists at B365? All I can see is +32.5
Ah fair enough, thanks!No, you have to get on right away before the line shifts.
Bookies won't leave up a line that is completely different to the markets line for long
You're our own personal AFL betting ombudsmanIf anyone had Zaharakis as an anytime goalscorer at Sportsbet last round, and it meant losing a bet, contact them. Precedent has been set. See Herald Sun article below:
A punter short changed by an AFL umpiring blunder is finally laughing all the way to the bank.
The Herald Sun yesterday revealed the hard luck story of footy fan Corey McKerrow who nailed a five leg multi for more than $12,000, only for a goal umpire to ruin the last leg.
But betting agency Sportsbet this morning made his day — honouring the bet despite the goal umpire’s decision making it officially void.
“I’m super stoked,’’ he said.
“Even the guy from Sportsbet said he thought it was a goal.’’
Mr McKerrow said the unexpected pay out “piped up my August day’’.
“I’ve been off work with a back injury so it couldn’t have come at a better time,’’ he said.
But he admitted at least some of his winnings was likely to be wagered once more.
“Probably a fair chunk of the $12,000 will go back to Sportsbet,’’ he said.
Zaharakis’ shot for goal was clearly over and the goal umpire was in perfect position, but did not make a decision.
The formerly unlucky punter was crying poor yesterday after the umpiring blunder spoiled what should have been a miracle AFL bet.
Footy fan Corey McKerrow stood to earn $12,505 for a $5 outlay when he punted on Essendon’s 10 point win against Gold Coast Suns at the weekend.
When four of the five legs of the Sportsbet punt came good, the Hawthorn fan grew nervously excited.
And when Essendon’s David Zaharakis kicked truly in the third term, he should have been celebrating an unlikely windfall.
But an umpiring blunder that saw play-on called — despite the ball clearly sailing over the goal line before being tapped back into play — cost him dearly.
The AFL this week admitted the goal should have been awarded, giving the Bombers more breathing space in an intensely close game and Mr McKerrow a sizeable earner.
But the betting agency has refused to honour a bet he dubbed the “miracle multi blind Freddy would have paid”.
“I was pretty disappointed and to be honest it really should be paid,’’ he said.
“The AFL has admitted the mistake and Sportsbet only pay out under official AFL rules.
“So where does that leave me? Bloody spewing, that’s where mate.’’
Mr McKerrow’s ill-fated multi above.
Mr McKerrow correctly tipped Suns Rising Star nominee Ben King to boot three goals or more and Bomber Shaun McKernan to kick the same tally.
He also correctly backed Essendon’s Andy McGrath and Gold Coast’s Davis Swallow to kick a goal.
But it was Zaharakis’ unrewarded goal that has left a bad taste in his mouth and a hole in his pocket.
“I had a pretty huge bet on the line and the AFL has admitted fault but no one wants to help me out,’’ he said.
“It was the miracle bet that should have happened but didn’t.’’
The decision not to pay the Zaharakis goal was one of the worst of the AFL season.
Fox Footy cameras showed AFL boss Gillon McLachlan with an awkward look on his face as the umpiring howler was replayed on the big screen during the match.
Zaharakis said the Bombers — who rallied late to win the game — deserved an apology.
Mr McKerrow said he deserved to be paid.
“We were having beers down the pub and about 100 people got wind of the bet and there were some unhappy people when that goal wasn’t paid,’’ he said.
“I can’t get a word out of the AFL and Sportsbet have just wiped me.’’
Rather than collecting more than $12,000, he said he had been offered a $5 bonus bet.
“It should have been paid,’’ he said.
“All year there has been controversy with the goal umpiring.’’
The Herald Sun has contacted Sportsbet and the AFL for comment.
