HI Fizman and welcome to our little group of tragic punters !

Foz, I was also very keen on that horse that was stratched, tawthe or something from memory ? Tanti has a habit of getting longies home, but that one was a bolter ! well done I say !

I backed a horse today called Discounter, with the mighty Lindrop aboard and it saluted nicely.

Waterhouse won with Randwick, an imported colt from america, I think it might go to stud pretty fast what do you think guys ?

Good luck with the champs league over night Shire Sharky!

I reckon what we should do is throw and IMAGINARY $100 in the pot boys what do you think ? then we can take it in turns betting in our little punters club, no rush on when you have a bet or where you lay it, sports, races, whatever, you can have as much on your choice or as little as you wish, but if you lose it all watch out !

The only rule is it can only be ONE bet, you can have a multi by all means with as many sports as you wish, but only ONE bet per time.

Should be fun, let's see what we can come up with, If we have Foz, Shire Sharky , me and Fizman, we will have$500 to start with.

If you wish, like I will, I will try and have an actual bet alongside our " fantasy" bets and see if it can return something, so try and give a bit of notice before the bets go, ie friday night for sat races, or the night before for any other races too, a day before a soccer match etc etc.

Good luck fellas !

Here is my.....................................................................................

$100
.............................

Once we have a full pot I reckon it should go alphabetically in order, so Fizman will have first bet.

Morpheus, Thats a brilliant idea. What I have decided to do is this. I have given myself a $500.00 account, I will ONLY BET 10% of the account for each bet. My first bet will be $50.00 if we win and receive $100 that takes the account to $600 which means the next bet will be $60.00 and so on. Same as if we lost it, the next bet will be $45.00 because $450.00 would be left in the account.

I will run with your tips and suggestions, so please no tips like India to beat Australia in the first Test by an innings and 9 wickets...lololol.

As Morpheus has mentioned, if you can give 24 hours before the event it gives us time to place the bets. Lets hope that we can put a little extra into Christmas this year boys!!!!

I will post my 1st tip as soon as I have had a look at whats on. Would it be better if we all ran off the same betting agency for sports betting at least we could keep that the same as I am in QLD, so the odds will differ for the races. Anyway Lads I will post my first tip very soon!!!!

Lets do it for the GOOD GUYS!

Well as expected Real Madrid got me home but I considered Chelsea a sure thing and they let my multi bet down:

Multi-Bet [4 legs] @ 7.75
Real Madrid (Spain) To Win (Draw Loses)
UEFA Champions League - Marseille v Real Madrid (27/11),
Chelsea (England) To Win (Draw Loses)
UEFA Champions League - Chelsea v Sparta Prague (27/11),
Porto (Portugal) To Win (Draw Loses)
UEFA Champions League - FC Porto v Partizan Belgrade (27/11),
Manchester United (England) To Win (Draw Loses)
UEFA Champions League - Panathinaikos v Manchester United (27/11)

Oh well good to be back on the winning list anyway...

I'm up for it guys.Just dropped in to Gosford races for the first 2 races. Took the kids for a drive.Both odds on favourites won. The first time I've ever gone to the races and didnt have a bet.
Watched that Randwick win yesterday morpheus. I liked King Cappo (ran 3rd) but the race never really looked in doubt. I have no idea if Randwick was any good or not in America. It had a win in the U.S.I suppose but I think he can string a few together over here. Should jump to Saturday class next start so this will show us if its any good.

Ahh the old take the kids for a drive trick hey mate ?


Yes, he had some good form the USA but will need to win city class saturday in order to go to stud with any kind of healthy fee attached.

Okay Fiz ! let us know when you have decided where we place our first bet from our $500 kitty !

Bad luck about Chelsea Shire, it was a tough round of Champs league, and I will not be betting on the next round as too many groups are finalised now.

Good luck everyone ! take care !

Gentleman,
I would like to place the first "investment" on the NFL. A multi on Tampa Bay to beat Jacksonville and Tennessee to beat NY Jets at $2.90. An outlay of $50 would see a return of $145 which would be a nice start for our kitty. I have taken the odds off Centrebet.

As background, Tampa Bay are the defending Champions and in a position where if they lose this weekend, I would say that any chance they have to defend the title will be gone. Their opponents, the Jaguars are running last in their division, so I am banking on the desperation of the Buccaneers to defeat the Jax. Jax home record is 2-3 and Tampas road record is 3-2.

Tennessee is my team and I think they have a great shot at the title. There is no doubt that the Jets will be extremely tough, but I think that the Titans have the momentum to get them through. I don't usually like to back "away" teams, but I think these 2 can do it!!!

Fiz and Foz both support the Titans.Mate they are carrying some extra weight now. Lol.
Steve McNair (quarterback) got injured last week. The Titans were behind and came through and won. I hope we dont jinx them.

I see Chasseresse pops its head in at Rosehill tomorrow. As long as it has taken no ill effects from his Melbourne tour he should go well. He drops back in distance which is a worry as sometimes I take it they are freshening the horse up to get it ready for its next race.
Nobody in their right mind can tip Laguna Lake with confidence but it gets in a race to suit too. A 10/1 shot so you dont have to put too much on.
I like Sunboat in Melbourne race 2. Nikolic riding for Freedman?????Hmmmm.Only one danger Sigishoara,although I backed Go Fuhrever last start and it won. I dont know that a trifecta will pay too much.

Foz, I used to barrack for the Houston Oilers, and as you may well know they packed the bags and went to Tennessee as the Oilers then changed to the Titans. I have this eerie feeling that the ex Houston Oilers just might win this years Super Bowl in guess where?? You got it HOUSTON!!!

How ironic would that be??

Morpheus, Your selection of Adillo Adillo I am assuming would be for the place??? I am not real keen to bet on the nose with the sort of $$$ that we outlay. I will have a crack on it though and see how we go.

Good Luck for todays punting Lads.

How good would it be for the Titans to win in Houston? I think the crowd would be behind them.
Adillo Adillo.I had a quinella and they ran 2nd and 3rd. Almost outlaid for the trifecta but doubted it would pay anything. Well $134 later I didnt have it.
Somebody backed Laguna Lake and it was only paying $5.90 for a win. Luckily for me I wont back that horse under $10.
Not so lucky with the other 2 as I backed both. The Scone horse has next start over 1400m written all over it.
Tribula was 50/1 earler in the week on fixed odds in the Railway. If she was at her best she'd win that race but has shown nothing this campaign. I'm going to back her with a prayer in this race.

Adillo Adillo ran a lovely race and won nicely, I backed it a few bob wach way and collected a little earner, nothing major though.

NOrmally I would just back for a place though mate you are right.

Mythological ran 4th and should have challenged for first, another nice horse given way too much time to have a go at them, the jockey will know better next time.

interstorm was scratched so today I had three tips, first one won and paid $4.90 the win, second one scratched, 3rd one ran 4th.

not bad !

SIgshora did nothing mate but that go fuhrever just looks like something special to me, a good win.

:( :( :( :( :( After taking the family out for the morning I missed putting the $$$ on Adillo Adillo by about a minute!!! Been on the cranky pills for the rest of the day, it was a beautifully run race, and by no means the end of the world. That was a really well thought out selection Morph. I like the idea of sticking to an 8 horse field.

Any thoughts on Wolverhampton V Newcastle tonight??

I KNEW this would be the danger of coming back into punting....I want a piece of everything!!! I will still stick with the Tampa/ Tennessee multi. The result will not be known until Tuesday morning because Titans V Jets is the Monday Night Game.

Keep up the good work Lads.

Jumped on Newcastle to beat Wolverhampton at $1.83. Hopefully this might make up for missing out today.

Oh Lads, not a good weekend for you on the UK premierleague !

NEwcastle played terribly to draw 1-1 with the wolves, and Of course the ONE time you back against leeds on their rough trot Shire, they pull out a 1-0 win.
Hope you didn't have too much on it guys.

Fingers crossed for our multi two match NFL punt though Fiz !! good luck boys !
