$5.75

Head to head, they are the odds for Sydney.

Margin betting, it's $6.50 < 40pts, and for the bravest amongst us, $31 for 40pts+.

I'm tempted to put a Terry Jenner or Land of Plenty on the <40pts, as somehow if we win I'm thinking it won't be a shellacking (!!!). Alternatively, I could put my money towards my kids education.

For the more conservatively minded, WCE are $1.10, $2.30 & $1.85

For the punting illiterate does that mean if I put down $10 and the Weagles win by less than 40 I get $65 thereby making $55?
I have never placed a bet before but that seems like it would be worth it. I blow more than that on other stupid things (tickets to a Swans home match )

Er....no. If you put $10 down on the SWANS to win by <40pts (and they do so), you receive $65, a profit of $55.

If you put $10 on the Eagles to win <40, and they do, you'd get $23, a profit of $13.

I have better things to spend $10 on than just throwing it to the TAB.

The last winning bet I had was when Light Fingers won the Melbourne Cup and I think St. Kilda won the VFL premiership, so I might put a bet on West Coast and we might win.


Should I put a Bradman on them.

Galilee won the MC in 1966 which I think was St Kilda's year. The cleverly named Light Fingers (sired by Le Filou - apparently French for pickpocket-) won the MC in 1965.

I just put $5 on us to win by 39 or greater... I also put the same bet on the weagles, so i reckon that at worst ill be getting $12 back from the $10 I laid down.

Your kids need their education. Knowledge is the greatest gift you can give, and your kids need to be made well aware of the hazzards of supporting the red & white!
