BJ, I know your a Pick the Margins (PTM) guy, but I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on Pick the Winners (PTW)

Obviously you would be picking less far combinations than on your PTM bets, but is there any value in getting a few people together to come up with 5-10 $50 PTW cards ??

I know this weeks PTW return was much larger than usual, but from memory it usually returns like $150-$300 dollars on a standard week for a $1 bet (which is $7500 - $15k for a $50 bet)

personally i think this is a dog of a product, it is just to hard to be profitable even the $256 spend theory sucks. Line bettng is an acquired taste at best but to be forced into picking 8 is painful. The pools are not deep enough to warrant the hassle the take out is criminal and the tab sets pretty solid lines, the only positives i can see is that they are now betting from earlier in the week so closer to kick off some of the lines will be skewed and the money will already be in the pool if you must bet this product do it while the 0% commision is going as it is your only chance to get close to fair bite of the cherry but i haven't taken one of these for a long time and i won't be in a rush to change. As for the theory of pooling money for these to have a bigger claim on the pool i personally don't think it is worth the expense or the risk for a pool so shallow.

I'll be in for 10%. Maybe do a 2nd one also and play around with the friday night games??

Like, dragons 13+ and Souths 1-12. I hate Titans away from home.

The dragons couldnt beat the Chester Hill Hornets U9's side by 13+ this early in the season, they don't have the flashy play in them...which is great for winning football games, not for racking up a score though

Actually the half back has a broken arm from a skateboard accident and will miss the start of the season, one of the lebanese kids is also refusing to play for a pie and coke this year as he doesn't like pies. I will keep you updated.
