I initially thought Geelong by a big margin like 60+ but the predicted weather (hail, thunder, wind) might have a part to play in the final margin. I have opted for GWS 1-39 $2.25 against the Swans as a second leg. NRL: Penrith 13+ vs Newcastle $2.15 @15:00 Sat. AFL: GWS 1-39 v Swans $2.25 @16:35 Sat.

Best Bet Royal Randwick Race 4 Number 3 Oohood $2.40 Now that the filly has tasted victory albeit a jumpout at Flemington over 800m a couple of weeks back, there’s no stopping her from here. She’s actually never won a barrier trial either before the jumpout. I think she’s high class and the trainer believes she would even love it up to a mile. 6 placings from 6 starts with prizemoney just under $1mil.

I was listening to RSN this morning during school drop-off and heard the news of Torcedor, a once early market favourite for the Melbourne Cup being bought by a German consortium. Connections apparently decided against bringing the horse to Oz for the Cup but the offer to sell was too good to refuse. A Melbourne Cup trip might be back on for the horse.....watch this space. Currently @$26 and $7.25.

If Weid comes in I’d put him in the ruck for the first centre bounce, let him be involved instantly win or lose the hit out, feel the heat so to speak and Max starts forward.

I’ll have a go at the NRL. 3 weeks to go until finals and in my opinion any of the top 6 could win the premiership. After countless last minute comebacks by the Penrith Panthers the 13+ @$2.15 for them represents some value. This might be the week where they start well and wipe the Knights off the park.

Anyone on here get their ‘members’ name on the jumper? I hope we win this week otherwise it won’t end well come round 23 when you read the below from the MFC article. The reason it will be worn in the final round is part of ‘Member thank you round’.

Can’t wait for the Spring Carnival to be honest, having a tough time following our Demons at the moment, can’t imagine how we could handle September if we made it. Anyways, here’s a list of big races that Santos is nominated in, why not aim high when your horse is trained by the Waterhouse/Bott combo. Golden Rose Stakes [Group 1] 1400m 22nd September Caulfield Guineas 1600m 13th October Ladbrokes Cox Plate 2040m 27 October [49kg] I will update on lead-up races as they come to hand. Could be a very exciting Spring. The horse is not guaranteed to be running in any of the above races but mapping out a prep is essential. Hopefully it all goes to plan.

Fair enough @Macca I thought about starting the ‘Monkey Business’ thread but it’s a bit difficult articulating without promoting the gambling aspect. It seems like a separate thread is needed if we are to keep posting sports multis, odds and specials on various sports. Topics on the main footy forum have posters constantly posting odds ( guilty myself on that aspect a few times) and of course it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. I’m all open to more ideas on how we can get the thread started. With spring around the corner the thoroughbred talk will be in full swing on here. I’m happy to tone it down and stick on topic.

? Me too Wadda. I thought we were home, all good though, just nabbed the winner in Adelaide.

Surely he’s retired by now.

The odds for either team to win under 15.5 pts in Hawthorn v Geelong games should be $1.10

Woo Hoo for Voo Doo!! Managed to get $5 which isn’t too bad after Fat Odds with Neds. Outstanding win, well done @Wadda We Sing

It was always the risk Wadda. As mentioned previously the horse has settled well back in its last few starts and has been motoring home late, possibly too late. I thought after the claim and the soft track the horse would overturn its fortunes.

I agree Macca. In baseball there’s no worrying about the tie as extra innings count to the end result. I’ll continue with the line bets in the MLB also. Sorry, I didn’t mean it to sound bad, you win some, you lose some. Soccer is impossible to predict sometimes but for some reason I persist with it.

Best Bets multi ( gallopers) is on. Odds of $145 after the multiplier. Sports multi off to a shaky start, reload fellas. Roughead a late out for the Hawks.

Let’s play ball!! Decent variety of sports in there Wadda and like @Macca said, we can always go to the bullpen if we strike out early, pun intended.?

Here goes fellas. Best Bets: EPL- Newcastle v Tottenham Saturday 11th @21:30 Selection- Tottenham Win $2.00 English Championship- Norwich v West Bromwich Sunday 12th @00:00 Selection - Total Match Goals Over 2.5 $2.10

Best Bet Morphetville Race 4 Number 1 Mongolian Wolf $4.40 Has a habit of getting too far back lately and finishing off late. The Weir runner is well rated here after the claim and hopefully he’s close enough to run over the top of them. The latest on Santos, horse is doing really well in trackwork and he’s ready for a big spring. Aiming to resume in the San Domenico Stakes this month.

Comedy gold. I’ll have to watch some of their movies again. Groucho’s one liners are up there with the funniest ever. ” I’ve had a perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn’t it.”

Even shorter on TAB Macca. $1.85 wow. Had a quick look at the Flemington card. In Race 2 Bandipur ($3.30) is down from Sydney and up against Invincible Al ($3.90) and Prezado ($2.40). 3 horses under $4 (early markets) in a ten horse field.

Ha Ha....Monkey Business. I like it, it’s a Yes from me too. Looking forward to reading the OP. @Wadda We Sing or @Macca.

The Three Tenners!

Hahaha.....Boot Scootin’. Thanks for the laugh.

Sounds good Macca. Maybe we can get some suggestions going. I’ll start the ball rolling. 1. Pub Talk. 2. Draw A Line

No problem Wadda. I like sharing ideas, happy to go with 2 selections as well. All I do is constantly look at odds approaching the weekend looking for value. Also, we are $1.50 favourite to beat the Giants in R23. Odds are out already. ? Speaking of the NRL, Penrith have sacked their coach 4 weeks from finals.? They are sitting 5th and probably a 5% to miss out. Wowsers!!! Imagine if Goody was sacked 3 weeks out.....
