A. believes we will win the premiership
B. we've got the best odds atm with plenty of upside to go into the finals
C. believes it will boost the players and change their mindset to make them contenders
D. on drugs
E. other, please explain

Re: 500 000 bet
IMO some minted Geelong supporter has put so much money on the Cats winning the flag that he's now decided he should start hedging his bets.wasaintsfan wrote:so do you guys think they put it on because

Or two multi-millionaire mates were drunk one night and one of them made a bet that he regretted the next day ie "I bet you $2mill the Saints won't win the flag this year!" and is now not only covering himself, but ensuring a profit either way.

No the bookies bet with other bookies so they limit what they lose. It isnt done all the time. It deoends if the Saints win is a good or bad result for them. Oweing 3 million if they lose suggests a bad result.matrix wrote:so the guy who made the bet spreads it over more than one bookie?
or the bookies spread it?

I put $500 on them at 5.5 to 1 with bet-star , the day before the Geelong match, becuase I thought we would beet Geelong and keep winning ...that having been said
(1) I felt a lot better (confident) when the mystery punter puts that sort fo money on, I was strting to woory
(2) I hope I didn't put too many zeros on my bet !!! (and I don't have that kind of money to punt)
(3) I will lay off my $500 bet (providing we win a preliminery) to recoup my $500 outlay .. on the grand final apponent. so I still clear $2,250 if we win

Im not sure you can say you will still win $2250 if we win. If we played a side that was $1.20 you would have to bet $2500 to get your $500 back.supersaints wrote:I put $500 on them at 5.5 to 1 with bet-star , the day before the Geelong match, becuase I thought we would beet Geelong and keep winning ...that having been said

When footy betting with NT bookies you get your money back as well as the odds, (just like bookies used to in Victoria for the races). . If I outlayed the $2500 on our opponent at $1.20 I would get back $5,500 should we lose...........plugger66 wrote:Im not sure you can say you will still win $2250 if we win.

I expect the Saints to be favourite , I would expect around the even money ... or maybe $1.85 for whoever we play, with even money my money back that means an outlay of only $500 to recoup my $500 bet.. should the worst happen....

What are you talking about. If you bet on anything that is $1.20 and you bet $2500 you would get back $3000. I wish I knew a bookie like the one you are talking about. There is no such thing.supersaints wrote:When footy betting with NT bookies you get your money back as well as the odds, (just like bookies used to in Victoria for the races). .

If we were playing the pies right at the moment they would be about $1.60 and we would be $2.10 so you would need to put $950 on them to get your money back. The point I was actually making is it is impossible to say what you will yet. Hopefully for all of us you do win.
Practical application of this bookie that gives what you've bet back on top of your winnings.
Say both teams, for arguments sake, are paying $1.50.
You put $1,000 on both teams, $2,000 in total. If either team wins, you get $1,500 back, plus the $1,000 you bet, totalling $2,500.
So you've only bet $2,000. Yet you're a certainty to profit $500. These betting agencies don't exist, and if they did, they wouldn't ever make profit.
It is for this reason you'll notice that there is NEVER a game where both teams are paying over $2. Plugger is correct.

On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch.
