Why would you bet on the horses.... The only sure thing is the Black Sprinter.
My footy team had a nice season, picked up a little bit of positive coin in the miniture betting account. Started to extend myself with some semi wise betting on the Australia v India Test Series. But why would you bet on cricket that India plays in? Well, when they play abroad, they are even more likely to to either fail, or bet against themselves. I noticed some betting irregularities, that were totally within the spirit of the game, and laid my bets.... After Geelongs great season and the 4-0 white wash, my account has swelled to $500 after a lazy $50 opener.
I would also like to say, the money I have made is not worth the time and effort I have put into it.... On a good day, that's half a days wages... I've blown more than half a day stuffing around, watching odds and laying sh!tty $10 bets !!
But as far as I can tell, I've wasted less time and less money than dumb ass Brendan (Fevola!).

We like you're footy Brendan, but your betting on horses stinks like horse poo!

I also spoke to an ex-StKilda Hard Nut this summer. Had a great chat. He's ex-Carlton Footy Club. He was THE hardest nut in the game at the time. He agrees, never bet of the horsies. I told him some stories from a couple of people in the game.... He told me some stories... I also personally know a World War II Jokey, and he says the same things... He's the grand dad, and great grand dad to a couple of jockey's. But I think he is "step dad". Married in after he became a widower. Even though he was already a world class Jockey.
