Gotta say tho the whole "set before you bet" thing sounds like a loser talk to me, real men bet on anything who even cares what it is. Just pick a number and whack your salary on it, how hard is it. Free money campaigners.

 

[Orfullrules]

Hardcore as always.

 

[Milanista28]

Always chase the losses, can't lose forever.

 

[Toump Ass]

I just bet on both sides, that way you can't lose innit.

 

[Cam Payne]

My name is Sam and I have a gambling problem. Gambling is ****ING AWESOME!!!!!!!

 

[Leather Poisoning]

It's so deeply embedded in football coverage now. It owns the game.

Really disappointing actually.

 

[FrankDrebin]

Nothing better than watching a dogsh*t game deep into the fourth quarter to see if Jake Bowey can get that elusive 15th disposal. Then once the game is over i like to let off a bit of steam by directly messaging the player on their respective social media accounts, telling them what piece of sh*t they are for failing.

Then I'll repeat it again the next day by putting on a 26 leg multi that can't fail.

"Gamble responsibly"

Have zero issues with betting, what I don't like is constant reminders about how one team is the heavy favourite when a game is about to be played.

 

[Bluelegs]

Nice of Docherty to let problem gamblers know there's a better way to keep their habit.

In Tony Shaw’s footy book “A Shaw Thing” he talks about an end of season trip to Vegas with Denis Banks, they sat at a roulette table that had free drinks as long as you were gambling. Tony bet minimum on black, Denis bet minimum on red, and they got plastered for bugger all money, losing only on 00.

 

[Elixuh]

It sounds like a gambling ad. Bizarre.

Owning a racehorse as, presumably an investment, which relies on gambling revenue is equally bizarre.

Mad world innit.

Gambling stinks and it will kill our game if we let it. Parasitic scum.

Shawy was a legend. Mick McGuane has a story about him, when they were playing, and several Pies went up the country for a footy clinic. On the way the popped on a multi and happened to win big.

They stopped at the next town and cashed in, the boys stuffed their winnings in their wallets but Shaw was so tight he wrapped his wad in a rubber band..

At the clinic and one of the kids was so poor the sole was flapping on his runners, and Shawy found it annoying so he pulled his way and gave the kid the rubber band to hold his shoe together.

True legend of the story telling.

Another gambling one was one of his first ever games and he’s lining up in the middle on some great he was in awe of (I can’t recall the name). Said great asking Shaw if he liked the nags, he said yep, and the great said to watch the scoreboard to see the result of a race he had a bet on (when they used to put the race results on the board!).
Coming out after quarter time, Shaw says “Sorry, your horse didn’t get up” to which the response was “yeah I know, but you’ve been so busy watching the scoreboard you haven’t had a kick!”.

Reflects very poorly Carlton Football Club IMO.

Surely one the high flying Carlton business executive people could can provide some financial advice to the Blues players? Problem Gambler Samuel Doherty buying race horses, Weitering handing his money over to a Nigerian Prince, Koutafidis Kebab shop was broke within a year.

Yeah, I've done this in Vegas before. You just need at least a dollar in the machine and to keep tipping the girls and all the drinks are free.

GAMBLE RESPONSIBLY

Docherty heard "imagine what you could be buying instead" and went out and got himself a racehorse.

Interesting. I was at a sportsman's night about ten years ago and Billy Brownless told this exact same story about Gaz Sr.

Chances are you're about to lose.

Every mug punter I have known has hit me up for a loan. or two.

 

[Meteoric Rise]

I have always lived by the maxim that if you can't afford to bet, you can't afford not to bet.

For 20 years I was a problem punter, mainly because when I placed bets it was a problem for the bookies, who generously paid for my house.

The sad part of this is I now need to sell said house, quickly.

Let this stand as a lesson for all.

 

[Toump Ass]

The problem with getting free drinks in Vegas is, you have to drink them in Vegas.
If you want to get smashed around a bunch of ****ing losers for cheap just head to your local pokies joint.
You can gamble there too, bonus!!!
