If you want better odds the saints are $3.90 for the GF quinella to meet Geelong.

I really like Batnoe's train of thought. I think I might lay down around $500.00 also because coming from cairns cost a bit and like you said if we don't make it I'm still about $1500.00 in front with all the money I save for not having to come to the GF.

It's almost a win-win situation....but I know which win(s) I want.

that is the way i am thinking

my girlfriend doesnt think that way and says it is too much to put down.... She doesnt understand it will save me $1500 either way

haha, go saints

If we win i win a lot of money, if we dont i was going to spend more than $500 for next week anyway ... when we make the grand final. If we win, i will be stoked as we will be in grand final and it wont cost me anything. Anyone else going to get on us this week?
:D you are a genius.

the old man is making the same bet, just less money involved... only need to travel a few stations to the ground.

in the end it is really a quite logical bet

exactly.
somehow im trying my hardest to get in on GF day and i need to borrow the money.
the money has been offered to me from a good friend who is in no hurry to get it back.
so the way i see it is:
im going to borrow around $2000 anyway if we make it and pay it back.
so if im willing to have to pay back 2 grand i might as well borrow $500, have a gamble and when i win i have me money for the week after (and only have to pay back the $500) :idea:
lose and im $500 out of pocket and have to pay it back (but i was willing to be 2 grand outta pocket originally)

F*** me, ive talked myself into it
im going for it
500 on just the win (not the 1-39 margin) at $3.40

carn u farking sainterz!! :D :D

its an illogical idea that makes so much sense somehow. Im not that brave however, id be pretty peeved at losing $500 whether its 1000 less than what i was going to spend or not.

Damn you other betters.

Last night ACTTab had Saints at $3.55, this afternoon when I placed my bet it was down to $3.30.

Also put $10 on Saints/Doggies final as I like upsets and pays 1:21.45

Ok i have made my bet

I went halves with my brother who will fly back from london if we make it, so i it is $500 each

I put $940 @ $3.15 for win to get $2961
I put $20 @ $3.75 for first score a saints goal to get $75
I put $20 @ $8 for us to be losing at half time but win the game to get $160
I put $20 @ $10 for us to win between 13-24 to win $200


Carn saints... i had to make bet, if we win well i will be laughing- a free grand final... if we lose, well it has cost me $500 but was willing to spend $2 grand anway so i save $1500..

I am freaking nervous now hahaha

$180 Hawks/Saints (ht/ft) @ 7.5

$250 Saints at 3.15

$100 Saints <20 @ 5.25

If Saints win - guaranteed 600 up

If all come off then around $2.5k - phew!
