The $2.15 on offer for us to win next week is excellent shopping!

Since July, the cats 4 wins (from 8. games) have come against; Carlton, St Kilda, North & Sydney... wow :roll:

How they are favourites is mind boggling and I expect our price to fall as the game gets closer.

What was that paying when you laid the bet?
Surely the reigning premier to make the top 4 before the season started, was paying next to nothing at the time? :shock:

Backed them at various prices through the year Dyso, the shortest I took was $1.65 & the longest was $2.40.
Who said % doesn't matter?! Like I said though, happy to drop a couple of bucks, see US with the double chance and a wiggle elimination early.

The Cats are a bunch of Flops. The more I look at this game the more I like the $10 for a 40+ victory!
Just whacked a pineapple on it, and depending on my bonus (goes in the bank tonight), I might just put a couple more on that 8)

Winner gets a prestige bottle of wine from 'Skids'

Good Luck
Okay! I don't know if it should be end-of-H&A order or after-GF order but if it's end-of-H&A, now is the time to look for the winner, and ...

There is no winner! 8)

Nick's is hopeless! :) :wink:

I've looked back at everyone's predictions and no one got even as close as 3 out of the top 4 in the wrong order. (Probably not even two out of four with those two in the right order. And getting two out of four with those two in the wrong positions is not a very good prediction, is it??)

The vintage bottle of wine is safe.

Pies v Cats GF quinella @ $8.50.

The 10's I got on a Pies flag a month ago was a bonus! :)

Well we've opened up at 1/2 on with the Giants @ 6/4.

11/10 for the 1-39 & 16/5 for the 40+

Will take some of the line (-12.5) at the current 9/10 and see how it pans during the week.

Just need us to make the GF and I can't lose :)

I'm calling this the bet of the season trendsetters!

Pies by 1-39/Total over 145/Grundy anytime goal scorer - Paying $9.70.

$150 on this will be $1455 in the sky rocket, launching in to a GF... Go the PIES!

Sidey at $9 to make the top 20 in the Brownlow is good shopping I reckon.
Brodie at $6 for top 3 ($26 to win).

A few boxed trifectas worth a dabble I reckon;

Dangerfield/Neale/Grundy @ 40/1

Dangerfield/Cripps/Grundy @ 100/1

Neale/Bontempelli/Grundy @ 100/1
