4 posters in the 3rd quarter screwed us!! Bloody unlucky.

Bont missed twice from 15 metres out directly in front. All you can do is laugh really. He would usually kick them with his eyes closed.

Rain or not, every game is going unders. According to my notes there's been 17 games in a row go under the total. The last overs was round 4 Essendon v Port Adelaide.

The bookies will react next round surely. Those totals they frame in the 180's will be a thing of the past.

start betting on all outdoor Melbourne games this week at the unders, and also the adelaide game

They have the lines far too high
they arent even making the line in the dry, let alone the rainband coming

I agree with that bet tiger

Pies traveled well to Adelaide and are playing at a high standard now
They should be far too good

lower sides do tend to love playing collingwood though, they lift for it

but pies should cover that line, they have really clicked into gear.

MCG Friday Night

20mm to 80mm predicted and strong winds

The line is set at 140.5 points.

There are bet options for game being under $150.5, odds $1.60

I honestly believe they will struggle to even get to 100 this friday night.

Shop for options for game to be under 160.5 too, as some markets have that, odds $1.30

The game will probably read something like 45 points to 48. a slogfest close struggle.

I cant see them even getting to 120 let alone 150

150 is actually a fairly high score, eg 100 to 50

cant see a team getting to 100 in these conditions. good luck. lol

You beat me to it Redemption. I knew you'd be all over that bet. They reckon it's going to be torrential rain for the next few days.

Alot of the games lately haven't been going over 150 in perfect conditions. So how the hell will this go over in a slog? No hope. Sell the house, sell the car, rob a bank. Do what you gotta do to get on. It's stealing money.

And once you collect, you may as well roll over the winnings onto the next day. Carlton v Essendon unders. It's set at 155.5. My mob the Bombers have only been scoring 60-70 of late. I can see this being something like 60-50 with Carlton getting up. We hate the wet. They beat us last year in wet conditions. And we are in shocking form. There's no doubt Carlton would have circled this game as their big chance of getting a W. I'm backing Carlton and unders.

Spot on

This is a classic game the line is set too high
It opened up at 140.5 points.

The reason thats too high, is because it would take a damn fair effort to reach that score

Its more like a 50% chance that can only get to 120.

I always view it this way, the game would have to be 90 to 51, to beat the line
Thats actually decent scoring, even in dry this year, as you said.

I took the 150.5 option at $1.65 on william hill.

just cant see it being 90 to 61, or 80 to 71 in these conditions.
good luck to them if they do.

we are betting on physics and all the wasted time, missing marks, not hitting targets, ball to the ground, hard to even pick it up, let alone his handball and kick targets.
chews up the clock all over the place

the line for tonight is down to 137.5

even that is generous

put it into perspective

to bet that line

1st quarter: 40 points
2nd quarter: 40 points
3rd quarter, 34 points
4th quarter, 24 points

etc etc as example

that is still solid scoring required.
good luck. lol

im happy with the $1.65 i took at under 150.5 points, 3 days ago.

Of course, we arent suggesting its "not" possible.
But what we are saying, its highly unlikely.

We are betting on the accuracy of the weather radars and weather formulas, to turn the odds against the house
No different to Blackjack
We pick our moments.

I would rate it only a 20% chance they make it to 140 points tonight.,
Certainly not a 50% chance

and thats the point of all this, swinging the likelihood on our favour by picking the right moments

do the bookies have a read on the weather?
of course they do

but their lines are wrong. they opened up at 140.5 points
its too generous. its not at all a 50% chance they can make it to that line tonight.

if they do, so be it.
but its more likely they wont, at best its only a 30% chance that could reach that line

You're on at the good price Redemption. The TAB are betting under 150.5 at $1.40.

I'm going to load up on the under 135.5 at $1.95.

And l'll have something on the Sydney/under 135.5 double at $4.90.

Why are Sydney out to $2.50? I think it's a flip of the coin game. I can't work out why Hawthorn are getting smashed in the betting. I gotta go with the value.

I do think Swans are struggling at inside contested footy
I havent seen their stats, but a few games Ive watched, they seem to be shoved aside a little easy
But we all know that swans are notorious for rising up off the canvas, just when they dont seem like they can. Their whole culture is built on being the underdog tough team

I thought Hawks struggled in tassie a few weeks ago against saints in wet. they won, but werent exactly convincing

rain is easing now, but the ball will be soap. even just the cold air and dew is enough

i will say, 53 to 47, swans win.

Can't win em all Redemption. Bit unlucky though. It's been raining all day but it's stopped for our game.

Not many stoppages either which is rare for this season. Both coaches prepared to chance their arm.

WTF was that????

LOL

Freak first quarter

Only a further 98 points after that

This is the gamble though, the radars.
had it rained, theres no doubt we make it easily.
the wet, cold, dew, keeps it low. Most of the match the skills were very very good, playing almost like it was dry.
It was actually high standard, a very good game

Oh Melbourne city, love it, hate it, lol.

there were some very interesting "live" bet options for unders 160 etc at half time

gee bloody whiz, dont want that one again

Im going to wait one hour before the game next time. lol. that freaked me out. 1st quarter was crazy business.

Ive worked out how to word this, despite last night scare.

When a bookie sets a line for a wet game, lets say they set it at 148, which is more likely in a wet game, allowing for 40 points either side of the 148 line

108 points?

or

188 points?

Which would you lean towards being more likely?

You know the answer

Thats why the line is wrong and generous.
A dramatic swing either side of the line, is far more likely to be UNDER the line.
Thats why its value

You have a most odd way of analysing prices Redemption. Fact is the bookies got the line wrong - they rated it about 10 points too low - not high (as you are trying to argue). You took $1.65 for under 150.5 - you fell in at 150. If you had taken the $1.90 even stevens price the line was around 140 so your unders bet would have lost.
To suggest the bookies set lines too high for matches played in the wet is ridiculous. This thread will end up in the scrap heap like all the others you have started over the years.

Hang on a second.

The facts of the matter are this...

The game only just went overs. It's not like we were completely off.

I was factoring in a little bit of rain to fall during the game (didn't happen l know) But imagine if there was rain about. The total wouldn't have got to 100. It rained on and off all day but we got nothing for the game. A little bit stiff.

Also,

A 3rd gamer kicked 7 goals. You probably won't see that again for another decade.

That's what it took for the game to just reach overs.

It was the right bet to make. It just didn't happen for us. That's the punt.

Love how people come in here to put the boots in when a bet gets rolled.

It's impossible to go at 100%.

And as for last night, Redemption hit his under 150.5. And l did tip Sydney at the $2.50.

This thread has promise. I'll be the first person to get up and leave if l think it's going nowhere.

I don't know why l'm playing around with the totals. I got dicked by Mother Nature. No rain at the G last night or today.

Just keep it simple and back who's going to win. Sydney $2.50. Carlton $4.00.

Crows v Dogs tonight

The showers look steady, coming in nice and consistently on radar and predicted to last until 10pm

The line is too high, its set at 169.5

Ive bet it

Crows can score heavily but I think Dogs can tighten this game up.

Again, I say, do you like the chances of this game being 199 points, or 139 points?
Thats 30 points either side of the line

I know which one I prefer

Unders is a great chance tonight, 169.5

I've had a bet on the dogs to win for fun. Crows missing a lot of good players, dogs probably feeling more confidence, and it's wet. Worth a spec on the dogs for something to watch in the corner of your eye at the pub.

The TAB have a special bet up this week that's caught my eye. No team for the round to score 120+ at $7.

The only dangers in my opinion are Port against GC and Melbourne against Carlton. I can't see any other mob getting to 120.

It's worth a crack at the $7.

Anyone got how many tickets are actually sold in Shanghai?

Port should have a raffle, like those ones pubs have when you have to nominate how many smarties are in the jar and nearest selection wins

I predict 100 tickets sold, but amazingly it will be a "sell out".

Best bet for the round is Kochie saying it was a great success, oh wait a minute he is in London for the wedding.

This game is the quintessential example of the line being miles too high
5pm tonight, the line was 169.5
by 6pm, it was still 168.5

they may not even make it to 70, let alone 170

its a licensed to print money. they set the line miles too high. they kept making the same mistake last year
