Weekend
Wrap
Suggestion number two, no charge. Start betting on the shots. Every time a bloke has a set shot for goal, he's got a monkey on it. Money goes in or out of the Players trip fund. Soon find your goalkickers and so will the other players and you won't need to lie on a couch for hours imagining getting breast fed by two tall posts 7 metres apart. The client who invested $6000 on the Doggies at 7/4 in the old (2.75) might've had a few choicer things to say on the mark. There was choking going on all over the sporting world, dummy spits and non appearances your honour.There would have been dummies landing on the moon for Barichello backers after the Austrian Grand Prix. He's obviously got a contract as a teaser pony for the Ferrari Schumacher Stallion. Our Schu backer was apologetic about the grand at the 2.00, but accepted graciously. Won a bit more graciously than Sydney Olympic who labelled their opponents chokers and bad losers in front of 42,000 Glory fans, 3000k at the 1.53 was 'nil by mouth' for the rest of the evening. Speckles came for the winners, most notably $800 at the 5.50. Port Adelaide's Brett Montgomery wasn't the only one who copped one in the spuds on the weekend. 25k at 2.00 Wests Tigers got no vital support against the Cowboys and 12k at minus the flat 8 Country vs City might start to remember the old joke. Then it was our turn. They were lining up. $15000 snavelled the West Coast/Melbourne double at $1.70, 20K (1.90) Roosters minus 7= was not troubled and another 20K at the 1.35 gave something to play with. Pinch hit of the week was 10k The Warriors under 12= which gave a net result of $35,000 against a spirited South Sydney and on the Saturday 25k The Broncos(1.90) minus 22= found its way home better more truly than the Ferrari pair. The way things are going in the 'footies', there's a bookies petition to get Hansie Cronje appointed as a senior coach somewhere, or everywhere. And there's a few firms thinking of changing their name to 'John The Bookie'. That might even things up a bit. And talk about uneven, The Waratahs got 14 start for $3000 for one supporter and 13 start for $2000 another. Multiply the start by 5 and they still do their money. Suppose the opportunity is there this week against the Brumbies to get it back, but I'd be checking with that Footscray psychologist first. The Brownlow continued to get a few tickles, Nathan Buckley being cleared for belting a bloke cos he's a cleanskin, because the last time he belted a bloke identically he got off as well, allowed one punter to invest $300 at the $10.00. They've got to keep a few in the running or the whole thing will just disintegrate into some sort of corporate clean up last man standing. Four Footscray ruckmen have won the Brownlow and Luke Darcy is coached by two of them. Maybe the Doggie supporter who put the lunch money ($20x20) on Darcy at $41 has been doing his homework. The other futures flutter of some optimism was $300 at the $101 Woosher's West Coast. Aren't pharmaceutical's going up in Bomber Costello's Budget? Overall we did our spuds, but then we'd already done them the week before. Don't send cards. Don't purposely back losers just to help the Bookies Rescue fund. We have our family for support and an understanding bank. Just keep punting, cos as that psychologist will tell you "Every Doggie has his day' And it's made round to go round not flat to stack. There, we've convinced ourselves. Where they going round this week?
