As noted a couple of days ago one MFC fan tried to bet $25,000.00 with Sportsbet @ $3.00 on MFC to get Judd but was refused and only let on for $2,000.00 and his whole family has bet on MFC (backed as if MFC are morals).

Are they

a. the most naive fools going around,

b. loaded with too much free cash (i.e. tax write offs), or

c. really quite cluey and certain of result with inside info?

The one thing I have learned is to respect reasonably large bets as it is not lost easily with a grin and a shrug.

Sportsbet are suspicious and rightly so!

They have held only $20,000 on the market with 8 out of 10 bets on Collingwood.

Now if this is true, why are they still offering $3.00 same as MFC?

Not being a mathematician I can quickly calculate that they should have Collingwood at around the $1.50 and MFC at $5.00 or $6.00 with Carlton who are still $2.10 at the moment.

Are "Sportsbet" and "Eskander" (who have MFC @$3.25) just taking them on and on and on for one good reason - the bookies dont lose easily !!

Now if loud mouth bragging Collingwood supporters are so confident why don't they put all their beer, drug, dole and child maintenance money on them and bring that price down to the righful price? They will be able to take life easy for a fair while or maybe go on holdays to Williamstown beach for Xmas.!! Collingwood fans, if you have a spine you should put your money where your teeth used to be!

The fat lady has not sung yet!

    Good to hear some encouragement for people to gamble away large amounts of cash.

    This is something we need more of.

    Fuschia,

    This is a very good point. Why are our odds so low considering that 8 in 10 bets are on Collingwood? Makes no sense. Why does someone want to be $25000 on Melbourne and every other family member also making this bet? These guys had never bet with Sports bet before.

    Interesting, interesting!

    Here is the article from todays Herald Sun:

    My view is he wants to come to Melbourne but did the right thing and interviewed the 3 big Melbourne clubs as well to keep Melbourne honest and also to satisfy himself that he was indeed making the right decision.

    And if you had the inside word on where Judd is going, would you:

    A) head to your favourite football forums and big note yourself

    OR

    B) profit

    I know which one I'd choose.

    This may well turn out to be the most succint appraisal of the whole carry on yet !! :)

    Well I'm glad I jumped back on the optimistic bandwagon last night, because this is some very positive news. Not only the amount significant, but also the fact that his whole family have jumped on it. Now you could say that Collingwood supporters aren't betting that much because, apart from that greaseball president of theirs, nobody has that much, but the bets are still coming in for Collingwood, it's just the numpties are putting them there, not anyone with any real info.

    I'm with you Deetastic. Can I borrow your shoulder to cry on when this all turns sour? ;);) I kid, I kid...

    Diablo, as you know I have much more to lose than anyone else on this thread if Judd does not come to the Dees and much more to gain if he does come.

    Thus I will be crying the hardest and longest!

    little bets mean nothing... just mug punters..

    sizable monies speak of either real balls....or a little knowledge B)

    unfortunately spmetimes it is just that ...too little knowledge and not enough..lolo

    Good to hear some encouragement for people to gamble away large amounts of cash.

    This is something we need more of.

    not encouraging to "gamble" large amounts away at all !! as the correct way is to invest ie:"NEVER TAKE UNDERS"

    as the odds on mfc (@$3.00 )are far TOO SHORT to bet !!!( without a lot of surety..

    and only invest large amounts on relatively sure things !!! as with 80 % to 90 % confidence.

    or bet small amounts one can afford to lose at "VERY TEMPTING ODDS" AS WITH THE $7 TO $ 9 RANGE THAT THEY WERE !!

    an old famous quote in racing from ken howard " never bet "odds on" and never walk upstairs>>>

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
