It was on Sportsbet and my first ever bet...
did not get anything for a draw because their were odds for the draw and I believe most punters missed out...
Again my bet was for a win, but I got lucky with Lenny...
Sportsbet paid out on all head to head betting. If you had $50 on them then you got $75 back. Only reason you would not have is if you did margin betting. Id definantly be checking your records and finding out if you did H2H or margin bets.

Thanks mate, I just checked, I had a couple of margin bets 1- 39 & 1 - 24,
but landed Lenny for the Norm Smith...
Don't wait for the light at the end of the tunnel to appear, run down there and light the bloody thing yourself!

good work on winning on the norm smith anyway. You going to back him for back to back Norm Smith Medals? I had few margin bets aswell and luckily had couple H2H bets that got money back.
You've learned a valuable lesson about margin betting. It's a mug's game, which is why bookies love it and try to expand the possibilities endlessly to rope in easy money.
Have a look at the "line" bet. On Saturday the gave us 16.5 "at the line". That means you collect if we win and you collect if we loose by less that 17 points. In addition to Lenny & BJ, I'd be inclined to add Roo next week, he is a champion of the ages.
