    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

I believe Petracca will debut and that the club already know Garlett hasn't came up. I will be shocked if Petracca does not debut.

So?

Yes they are. In my multis I usually put 8 X $10 multis each week. That allows me to take 3 games each way. The last two weeks I've gotten 9. I called the Lions early on here and they got up. Once you have a form line you should be able to pick at least 6 winners a week. Then take the other 3 games each way. Last week paid $680 for a $10 bet. Minus the $80 outlay = $600 profit.

why not take your 6 best straight out for 80 bucks its the same thing,

With games I consider to be "locks" I tend to load up with larger amounts as the collective odds aren't huge but with a decent outlay the return can be rewarding. 

With regards to the ten dollar multis using this weekend as an example. Returns range anywhere from approximately $360 - $3700 depending on who you bet with. 

The biggest payout requires/required.

crows (Hawks won, had game each way)

swans (lock)

north (lock)

doggies (lock)

power (cats won, had game each way)

dees (no lock but took them outright)

freo (lock) 

saints ( giants - have this game each way)

bombers ( pies - have this game each way)

I actually did 4 games each way this week for the first time. Worst case scenario is one of your "lock games lose) but if they all get up you can't lose. How much you win varies depending on results of each way games.

i don't think you understand the basics of gambling, when you back 2 horses/teams/anything in a 2 horse field you profit is decreased by 15% over any sort of reasonably time (season). just multi your locks for your maximum spend & over the season you will show 15% more profit or 15% less loss.

Your starting to lose me, what I do I understand is that I started with $150 in my account round 2 NAB cup before we played the dogs. 5 weeks later I have taken my initial $150 out and have $5000 in my account, depending on results today/tonight/tomorrow there could be another $400 - $1300 in there.

its your ability to selecting your lock that is creating your profit.

for example this week you spent $160 on your multis if your locks win & giants/pies win I'm guessing you'll collect around $500

however if you just multi your locks for $160 you will collect around $1400

yes some weeks the outsiders of you each way legs will win  giving you a higher profit, but over long term you lose profit

As for "basics of gambling" I have my own rules. One of them is minimising the variables and eliminate the risk. For example I only bet head to head, I never do lines/margins or qtr/half/full time leaders. 

My rule

One Melbourne Cup, 10$,  per person per yr...

Its the bookies full time job, your punt. He will always win. Trust in the Schwarz!

Ok, I think I see the confusion.

If you reread my post earlier on this page I have : 

large money on SWANS/ROOS/DOGS/FREO 4 lock games

to make a profit of $1650

in addition to that I have on 16 X $10 multis, that allows me to take 4 games each way. Betting on all 9 games but having :

2 bets = 1 game each way 

4 bets = 2 games each way

8 bets = 3 games each way

16 bets = 4 games each way

You could have any amount but $10 works for me. Obviously worst case scenario is that one of the games not taken each way loses. Let's say they all win. I then combine all the odds to get a worst case scenario (all favourites get up) to best case scenario (all long shots get up)

This week the worst case scenario is about $400 ( $400 - $160 outlay = $240 profit). Best case now that crows/port both lost is about $1300 ( $1300 - $160 = $1140 profit) For that to happen I need saints/bombers. 

You then have 16 different possibilities ranging between $400 and $3700 depending on results of 

Hawks/crows

Port/cats

saints/giants

pies/bombers

i understand your bets

what do you think would happen if you took all 9 games each way (over long term).

you would lose 15% of your turnover.

if you could make profit by backing 2 horses in a 2 horse race we could retire now

I just checked the latest odds and Richmond are now strong favourites at $1.60 to win c.f Melbourne at $2.40.

The Dees no longer have to struggle with the spectre of being the favourite and having to win.

I regard this as a blessing from above.

We'll win this one now.

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
