Weekend
Wrap
Woosher Worsfold wasn’t the only irate
Eagle after the Collingwood game. That Pies fan was lucky he didn’t
wave his scarf in the face of our punter who had $8000 at the 2.60
West Coast. It looked like
he might have soiled himself when Woosher gave him a bit of body
language, but with margins like that costing you money like that,
you’d feel entitled to dismember the galoot and feed him to the
Sharks. Which might have
helped their feeble effort against
The Broncos after being backed from 1.45 into 1.35 with 20K at the
1.45 and follow ups of $8000, 2 x $5000, 3750/1500 and 2857/1000. Speaking of Nathan, we can’t find anybody
in the office who would give David King cheek if he was buried up to the
neck in quicksand, however perhaps Mr. $8800 at the +8= Western
Bulldogs might like to talk to Nathan G. about showing balls to hard men
when there is a result in the offing.
The Bulldogs were backed to a man 2.30 into 1.95, with the soon
to be defunct Kangas 1.60 out to 1.85.
Corporate footy has lost its way completely when a tradition like
The Shinboners is threatened. Tune into 4 Corners this evening (Monday) or catch the
Tuesday 1pm replay. The Crows continued Geelong’s dismal
Footy Park record one client taking advantage with 25,000 at the 1.28
but there were a few hopefuls of a sleepy town revival twice laying The
Cats to the tune of $4000 at best price 4.00.
This week our motto is “Any Port in a Storm.”
Couldn’t get a grandmother’s cuddle for the Demons and their
resurrected midfield, the Wizard Cup boys 1.60 into 1.55.
Only two rounds in is
too early for any panic amongst that avalanche of money which brought
Port in from 14.00 to 7.00 the flag, but $7,000 the Brisbane Lions
at 3.20 pre game Sunday would still be smiling.
The Storm got out to 6.00 and the Eels helped 10,000 at the 1.14
slip away when it was just about safely in the net.
The Warriors attracted 20K at the line and another twenty
at the I.45 and the Murdoch investment in the Cowboys seems to be going
as well as the shellacking they copped in the
One Tel stitch up. Coach Ricky Stuart wouldn’t attribute the
Roosters loss to injury, the leg of Ryan Cross a
shockingly unfortunate season wash out, but two $5,000 bets
at the line and $6000 to win the Roosters would have hurt as much
as any of them. ‘No play’ of the day? Four thousand on
the Hurricanes with 9 flat start. Resume
your positions please. And
if you don’t mind umpire, what’s your poison after $4000 +33=
the Northern Bulls vs Crusaders. Margin
34. Three thousand The
Chiefs (1.85) would be buying Roger Randle new Ugg Boots after his two
tries and The Reds falling across the line didn’t help the $4000
invested at the -14= against The Stormers. But then it gets to late Sunday arvo and the clouds part and
the punting gods smile and with the last goal of the game, kicked by a
10 game rookie from outside 50 metres, the Fremantle Dockers, backed
from 1.85 into 1.67, edge past The Saints and land our last two punters $6000
at the 1.85 and $6500 at the 1.80.
Like to take the evens their tomato soup and toasted cheese
sandwiches in front of the Sunday night movie tasted just right. “Don’t forget your margins!” the
teacher always said. How
prescient she was. They’ll
do you over and then take you out dancin’ with the sweetest girl in
town. And what about that
pitch in Port Elizabeth. Our
indoor cricket team wants him to prepare our pitches.
We got duffed again last week, just like in the betting in the
real cricket. And the
mighty mare, Sunline. Round
she goes again, same track, same distance, less weight. One of our punters gave us something to go on with, ignoring
the old rule of running up stairs etc.
Three hundred thousand at the $1.35 Sunline gave the
Randwick mile new meaning for 1 minute 34.38 secs.
The rest were about a minute behind her.
Can they give her a rest now?
