(OT) the LIONS, the brisbane LIONS....final footy coming up!!!!

[yoyo]

Luke, Brisbane line has come in too much. I should have gotten onto them after the West Coast game but was in huge sportsbetting downswing then and was gun shy. Wanted to get a couple k on last week expecting Brisbane to be around 2.5 or 3 but saw they were 1.6 against a side that had won 7 games in a row or whatever and realised the bookies were thinking the same thing I was - that this could be Brisbane's year.

yoyo don't forget it took a hawks legend to get them up there in Leigh Matthews- they won the wooden spoon a few years prior and did well to win 3 flags in a row but still do not come close to my hawks team of 88 -89 and the fact that we made 7 grand finals in a row from 83-89 , missed out in 1990 and then won in 1991 - in the words of Bruce McAveney "THATS SPECIAL"

Dermie. LOL.

Love the avatar yoyo but its so distracting watching her wriggle her cute butt as one's typing.Just hope my hakws have a good win today and regain some coinfidence and Buddy will hopefully kick more than 5 .Cannot go to the game because my little son's only 3 months old so have to wait for bloody channel 7 to show a delayed telecast at 3 pm and they have a crap Sydney - Melb game on foxtel at the moment

Yoyo , Carlton won the flag in 95 , Nth in 96Is the game you are refering to the one where Dunstall took the team into the shade ? Just saw on the AFL site there was a game in 95 when we lost to brisbane by 7 points - maybe thats the one you are refering to

dermie, i'm on the hawks pretty heavy, they steeeamed in on the betting market.yoyo, who did you swing down to? if only i knew, what were you playing? i would comfy say i would have got you a twist on all the bets if made against people with a clue.we should talk more.

1.9 into 1.7 is a price that i like to say has gone to the moon.good luck those on the hawks, if you aren't on you could make worse bets, they look like good things today. 37 mins to tee off.

I was just taking Betfair lines with no commission Luke. Next time I have a big bet, I'll let you know...Dermie, yes '95 not '96. I was 14 and just falling in love with AFL, the year before I cried a couple times when the Bears got hammered.

Hawks have been backed in big time - into $1.69 with betfair and $1.55 with vic sportsbet - thats just bloody ridiculous

[banned 4 life]

anything around 1.7 is called +evthe betfair line is accurate, especially with th evolume that is currently sitting there.that $1.69 you quoted, i imagine you are on 5% betfair commission which means the price is really $1.656. quite different to $1.69. 2%, sometimes the difference between winning and losing.
