I have one, use it for $1 Premier League and ITM Cup multis because it gets tedious filling out the slips for 8+ legs.

Other than that when I bet, it's no more than $5 a weekend over a few options in $1 and $2 values, which I do via betting slip.

Had a work do at the races yesterday actually. Had 2 punters in the group that did the worst out of everybody. A gambling addiction is a terrible thing but a little dabble here and there can be a bit of fun. Yesterday, half a day drinking, buffet lunch, a band, some good looking fillies to look at (all ages) load of fun, bet on every race (maybe average of 5 bucks a pop) and it cost me about me about $30 taking into account losses and winnings. Great value and if YF can generate some fun around the sponsorship then it will be something good.

The odds for season long bets are never worth the time invested imo. I'm looking at the $4.40 for the Jets atm, quite tempting when you see Sydney's injury list.

AW at $1.25 not to qualify for World Cup.

Just got on Panama and Mexico to draw at $4.25.

I like that Brockie not to be top scorer bet - that would go well into a multi

Normo's coming home

As much as easy money the "not to make final" would probably be, I can put the money into savings earning 4% instead of earning 5% on the bet - without the risk of a miracle happening, us making the final, and me losing my life savings. 

Way too low.

Long-term part-time Fever member, recently converted corporate-hack, here to talk betting and football and nonsense. 

I've emotionally hedged to the hilt by backing us not to qualify for the World Cup, but now the bookies have launched this and I'm wondering if 1.11 on Mexico to be our qualifying opponents is generous. Seems all but certain. Thoughts? 

1 Honduras 8.00
2 Panama 12.00
3 Mexico 1.11

Yarn.

If I had $10k I'd have Mexico.  Unfortunately I don't have $10.

How's my driving? - Whine here

Yeah, I might have been overstating things. My "emotionally hedged to the hilt" is closer to $10 than $10000....It's closer to $10 than $15.

Phoenix at $7.50 to beat WSW this week...

That's worth a crisp $20 if we were not going to play a football game in a lunatic asylum...

That aside, had we been playing anywhere else without the barking moonbats, I fancy our chances.

Had a tenner on Panama to qualify, even though I thought Mexico were a shoo-in. Feck.

Yikes, this weekend a $10 multi on all the favourites plus the Phoenix would pay ~$1500.

That $7.50 for the Phoenix to win looks very tempting, especially if the away games woes have disappeared under Ernie.

I don't normally bet on the Phoenix games, but might have to get in on that.

You'd have to think Ernie would be far more equipped to operate in Australia, 7.50 seems absurd. 2.60 with a half goal handicap.

Reckon Melbourne Victory might be worth a nudge tonight, paying $3

$5 for Sydney against CCM is rather tempting.
