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.

450 bangers???? ..... winner any way you look Simo imho Catters will still be right up there (ya got two really good WA youngsters in the draft) .... got a feeling Hawthorn are one to watch out for in '12 too

Latey: Geez wouldn't mind seeing if any punters took something on a 4/0 whitewash in the willow/leather series-massive payout I reckon

With a bit of luck most Seabreezers don't *need* to bet because they get their thrills elsewhere - on the water.

It takes a sad old git to hang out at the TAB all day and an even sadder git to hang out alone at home placing bets all day.

I don't mean you having an experiment Simondo, I mean these guys that get hooked on it. In the long run the only winner is the TAB. It's a good way to end up homeless.

Sh!t yeah, don't get addicted. You can't play on the water all day. And if my original lay went down the drain, I wouldn't go back for more.... I'll bet $2 that I will loose it all at some stage. I'll bet another another $2 that I'll slowly work it up to $1,000. Bet with your head.... Bet conservatively....

I laid some bets at between $1.05 and $1.01 during the tests. Australia was a certainty. The $1.01's are interesting... You can scrape up a certain $0.30 with $30. But barely worth clicking the buttons!

True True - but always good to see someone come out in front with cash in hand instead of it ending up in the bookies' fat wallet KB imo

Disclosure, I have a slight mathematical background, and bet very conservatively, and I'm happy to plug away with some $2 gains, $0.30 gains, and some $12 gains. The odd $20-30 gain.

I think I've missed 2 bets out of about 40 bets. Did I say, bet with your head? But also know the odds. Are the odds presenting value? Even at $1.01, they are sometimes technically presenting value. As far as I'm aware, they offer $1.01 even when they want to offer $1.005.

It's still hard to believe the rumour that a person put a million on black cav at $1.03

Thats in the know for sure or to much money burning a hole in his pocket .

Yeah, Black Cav at $1.03 in any horse race is tight! 33:1 On, that's tight! Tighter than my wife a-hole!
Physically speaking that is... Figuratively speaking, she spends like the flow of Niagara Falls.

I only ever use a computer for punting (mainly on the horses) using an online betting engine which allows you to view up to the minute tab market and dividend information, lodge bets on mulitple tabs in last few seconds of a race and analyse market trends and historical betting successes - delivering the most powerful betting tool on the market today.

data can be loaded into spreadsheet or set up rul es within the betting engine using bots or algorithms. It's arithmetic, unemotional analysis & betting as used by ALL professional punters. Money is made out of the masses of mug punters.

Testing a beta version atm. To me it's just like playing a computer game of sorts. Mostly, I'd rather sail.

Apparently some lucky fellow put $90,000 on Novac for the win tonight. Would have been a tense butt clenching 6 hours for him.
