one clear solution . . . .betting agencies should not open betting on games until after teams are selected. . . .i know they wont do it . . .but it's their greed for the dollar and the big money that comes during the week as speculation on teams in and outs occurs.
no one to blame but themselves. . .

mush like casinos who are happy to run blackjack tables and fleece average players but once someone smart enough comes along with the ability to beat the system (ie: count cards) they crap themselves stupid and ...... guess what ..... shut up shop and ban them



gotta agree wholeheartedly with this

the continuous shuffling is a sad , clip around the ears approach to players,
best odds in the house i believe , but fleecing the mugster and the mugstess is an artform in those places

u can play ultraconservativly (but the house knows we are playing on passion and the long odd , thats why the perfect pairs side bet is there) and you can still win a great night out or you can go upstairs where the boys play who won't play with the CS

oh yea ,and members of the sneaky service cant flit in , hide amongst the mums and dads , whilst watching and playing....sort of like commandos




...... farkin pathetic ..... whilst i hope we dont lose if we so happen to get done then suck shite to the farkin parasites .... i hope they farkin lose shite loads .... can't believe they can make up their own rules as they go along ...... no doubt they are in a business to make money however surely this is a classic case of needing a governing body to stop betting shops rorting the system as to benefit themselves
the governing body is the rort

Tis a farkin disgrace .....punter or no punter ...... but these guys should never be allowed to suspend betting ....... sure change the odds but they should never be able to stop people betting just becase they feel like it

Not that it effects the Saints at all but just another case of parasites feeding off human frailities and weaknesses to suit their insatiable greed
If you hoping they lose heaps of money then you must want the Hawks to win today. I hope the bookies win heaps of money today. And of course they should be allowed to suspend betting. Say Judd gets reported next week and the bookies still kept taking money on him for the brownlow before the result is known and he is then suspended. The punters who backed him in that period would be up in arms. Yes they sometimes suspend betting for themselves but occasionly do it for the punters who just cannot help themselves.
Geez Plugger, you side with the AFL, you side with the umpires, you side with the tribunal, you side with the bookies...is there any form of organised crime that you don't support?
