Weekend
Wrap
How much boredom crept into the Sunday afternoon of the bloke who placed $18,750 on The Eels to earn $1500. It ended up be very good skill after the bell,but two minutes to go and when the bell rang, don't reckon he would have needed a pacemaker. As is recorded in the official results,Parramatta won by one point with a penalty goal after the siren,their first penalty of the half. As A. B. 'Banjo' Paterson wrote in verse, "There was movement at the line,for the word had passed around, The Knights were all the go against The Storm." Seven and a half moved out to eight and a half and when a butterfly flaps its wings at Olympic Park a tree falls in the Newcastle rainforest. Or some such thing. Five thousand Newcastle minus 8= goes under the barrel at the 36 - 28 scoreline and across the other side of the Universe $3,000 sneaks its nose across the line helped by the plus 8= Storm. Was it Pete The Punter who spread around fifteen ten thousand dollar bets on the AFL for six winners and an overall profit of $900. Bank interest? Not when you deduct the ten knicker on NRL Souths at 5.00 on Friday night. Sounds like bank charges. Bored? Not if you rang up Friday and had a monkey each way Nathan Buckley for The Charlie at $7.00 and you're waiting for the judiciary to cast their jaundiced justice over a matter which your investment tells you shouldn't rate a mention in netball. The Western Bulldogs were the big goes 1.90 into 1.40 25K clambering on along the way at 1.45 and Peter Bell's 150th for Fremantle was celebrated in style and with $6500 backing it up at $4.00. The far flung settlements did well in the cash flow, The Warriors blistering twenty minutes of league squaring off nicely one punters $25,000 minus 2=, $20,000 at $1.65 and $6,000 at $3.30 over 12=. What's the next movie over there, 'Lord of the Rucks"?. And then the magnificent Grand Annual Steeplechase at Warrnambool on Thursday. Five thousand five hundred metres up hill and down dale over 34 obstacles and the worst thing is they've got jockeys on their back. There were plenty of signs of a pulse in the gentleman who invested thirty large on the favourite Hibernian Prince at $4.25 as the field negotiated the figure eight and it was going a bit faster when The Prince saluted and $97,500 jumped in. Boring Ricky? unlikely
when you are 'on the punt'.
