Weekend
Wrap
You couldn't get a zack from The Saints, maybe the last bloke who did or will is Malcolm Blight. Towns buzz when their team wins, it will be interesting to see the backup this week when the young(ish) Cats host Freo at PP. Could be another name change, we'll keep you informed. Sportingbet helping the rural economy. The Carringbush were noticeably absent in jumping on for Mickey's 600th and The Pies 1300th win in the competition. Nary a deena came from Vic Park, however there was some news from the game. An Elvis sighting. He bought a Hawthorn membership. Port Adelaide are being whistled again as the 'third' threat and an investment of $18,000 at the 1.25 might have been heading for the fridge at half time, but not threatened again in the second half. Four thousand at the $4.50 Carlton was probably wishing he had longer arms at half time so he could pat himself on the back and looking for a form guide 18 minutes into the third quarter to see what was going round in the get out stakes at Terang. None other than General Douglas MacArthur trotted out the line "There is no security on this earth, there is only opportunity." Did he punt? I'd like to know what the fella who had $15,000 on the Swans at 1.50 was saying with 5 seconds to go and thirty seconds after the siren when Daryn Cresswell produced the get out of gaol free kick. Free kick awarded one second before the siren. There's a few different smoke signals coming from the coaches benches of the NRL in the Monday Press. The Eels Brian Smith reckons players are being done for powder puff stuff, Penrith's John Lang saw his son cop a coathanger in a return to what he says are the bad old days and Roosters Ricky Stuart told the judiciary in straight forward terms to have a look at inappropriate use of aggression. Not sure that the Broncos supporters who put up the 10k at $1.14 or the $10714/1500 would agree about the bad old days. More like the good old skin of the teeth days probably helped by Martin Lang's absence, whilst wishing him a speedy and full recovery. It's not the way to win, but it's one way. No action was taken by the referee. Canberra cost a couple of punters without a yelp, which is the way it sometimes hurts most. Ten thousand hard earned Canberra at - 4= didn't get an invite to the dog show and 10k at the 1.50 might as well have been spent at the lolly shop; at least you'd get a dentist's appointment out of it. They could have stood at the Gosford gate and given every spectator four dollars and got a better run for their money. And 25 thousand at Northern Eagles +6= could have given them all four bucks a head as they left and still turned a profit. The Bulldogs were at home in more ways than one at NZ's Westpac Stadium, not receiving the inhospitable welcome that a Warriors supporter expected when investing 25k at 1.95. The exchange rate is not so good when you lose. Brisbane Lions weren't forgotten as they clawed their way to victory against the Western Bulldogs, another twenty thousand coming for them to win the flag at 2.25 and the free running Jason Johnson was the subject of $400 each way at 61.00 in Brownlow betting. The Brumbies vs The Waratahs was the
best betting Super 12's game we've seen, with The Waratahs punters
coming in pretty heavy to support their unbeaten record against the ACT
at home. Best quaddy result was ten thousand at 2.14 Lions/Port
Adealaide/Essendon/ Broncos. Winning triple 20K at 1.58
Lions/Port/Broncos. But as we have known since Christopher
Columbus didn't sail off the edge of the world when the betting was only
even money amongst the well informed, the world is round and the place
which may seem like the end may also be only the beginning.
