AFL Week 7

Essendon V Carlton

The line makers got this one right with the Bombers winning by 25pts. This result made it one of those interesting games that if you got on early with the Bombers you got the money and if you waited for the line to move you would have got the chocolates with the Blues. The money came solidly for the Bombers all week and when Ratten pulled out late you couldn't write a ticket for the Blues.

Bigger Bets

Essendon -23.5 $5000 @ $1.90
Essendon -25.5 $2000 @ $1.90

Hawthorn V Geelong

Punters and Bookies saw this as a danger game. Many questioned appeared to be answered as the Hawthorn machine completed a hat trick of Saturday afternoon massacres. Punters were keen to take the Hawks straight out and those looking for value couldn't help themselves by coming for the Hawks by 1-39. Not a great betting affair.

Bigger Bets

Hawks $4000 @ $1.45

West Coast V Kangaroos

Its going to take a good team to over come the voodoo of the West and it certainly was never going to be the Roo's. Early in the week everyone wanted the Coast both straight out and at the line. A few astute "weather men" punted on the rain and had a crack at the Roos with the start but the favourite punters again came away with the goods.

Bigger Bets

West Coast $10 000 @ $1.50
West Coast $2000 @ $1.45
Roos +16.5 $4000 @ $1.90
Roos $2000 @ 2.75

Richmond V Sydney

All week there was something wrong about this game. People were scratching their heads wondering why Tigers were such good value. Well some were smart enough to follow their heads and others were left catching a cold as two of this years most disappointing teams bumbled around. Punters just talked themselves out of the value in this tame betting affair.

Bigger Bets

Richmond $5000 @ $2.05
Richmond$4000 @ $2.12
Sydney $10 000 @ $1.75

Adelaide V Fremantle

Well punters again got it right on this game by realizing that there are two different Freo teams. The away Freo team "aint no good"! Again many astute punters tendered to stay away thinking Freo might show some of there previous weekend form though many others happily grabbed the odds-on about the Crows who are showing that they are the real deal this year."

Bigger Bets

Crows $2600 $1.40
Crows $5400 $1.38
Crows 1-39 $5000 @ $2.35
Crows -21.5 $7000 @ $1.90
Freo $1500 @$3.35

Brisbane V Port Adelaide

This is the sort of game the bookies dream of. Spirited betting on both sides of the line made this an interesting affair. Punters came from everywhere to take the Lions Under 40 points. Some smarties were also very happy to take the price at even money and were not scared to take the -28.5 instead of the usually favoured line bet at -25.5. Multi punters preferred to take the price on the Lions as betting predicted a close win for the home team.

Bigger Bets

Brisbane 1-39 $2500 @ $2.40
Brisbane into Melbourne $10 000 @ $1.48
Port $2000 -25.5 @ $1.90
Port $2000 @ $3.65

Melbourne V St Kilda

Harvey and Gehrig were always going to have an impact on the young Saints. Punters ran at the 40+ start and hoped that the Saints could keep in the game. The Demons had their support with some huge multi's relying on the massive odds on to boost up their multies. The Saints just kept coming all day, just like the punters did for the juicy start. The bookies, on the other hand, couldn't take a trick and our prayers were not answered by the Demons holding on in a cliff hanger.

Bigger Bets

St Kilda +41.5 $8000 @ $1.90
St Kilda +41.5 $5000 @ $1.90
Melbourne $3500 @ $1.14

Collingwood V Western Bulldogs

Everyone appeared to get this one right. Bookies, punters and your next door neighbors dog thought that the Pies would fall over the line. The winning line that is, not the betting line, which hovered in the mid teens. The Pies were the popular pick to add value to the all ups and the astute line punters couldn't get enough on the Dogs with the head start. You punters deserve a game to go your way once and a while. lol.

Bigger Bets

Pies $10 000 @ $1.55
Dogs +14.5 $4000 @ $1.90
Dogs +15.5 $5000 @ $1.90

Star All Up of the Round
Essendon -24.5, West Coast-18.5, Adelaide -21.5, Pies to win. $2500 @ $10.29

Good Health and Good Punting.
