Sportsbet emailed me saying if I didn't make a bet in the next month they'd start charging fees to my account until there's nothing left, I must have had some leftover from Brownlow betting.

I decided to chuck all $35 of it on Clayton Oliver each way for the Brownlow :10bux:

I got sick of tipping loving melbourne and losing, so I tipped against them and they still gently caress me over.

Just quietly, a Dees vs Tigers elimination final would be loving epic. two unbelievably success starved teams, Dees just finally playing a final and Tigers looking to actually win a final. Surely it'd get near 100k? We got close to 90k for ANZAC Day Eve.

Are we not mentioning Adelaide as favourite yet? GWS and Geelong are a step behind, and Port haven't beaten anyone in the top 8 yet.

I mean this is the sort of dumb year that Richmond would win the whole shebang. I don't really know how, but similar things were being said about the Doggies last year.

Adelaide had some embarrassingly bad games. I still kinda feel like GWS are a better team.

Adelaide (Melbourne, North), GWS (St Kilda, Carlton), and Geelong (Essendon, Collingwood, Gold Coast) have all had embarrassing losses, and while Adelaide beat GWS, Geelong beat Adelaide. There's nobody to stick a favourite tag on.

We currently have 3 teams sitting outside the 8 on percentage alone, its absolutely useless this year.

Man punches Jack Martin of the Suns because Martin took offense at the (presumably racist) jokes the bloke was saying. Said jokes being repeated from the Footy Show.4

I don't watch the Footy Show, does anybody know what rubbish they have been spouting this time that would get Martin riled up to have to defend himself, and get a racist riled up enough to punch someone?

Based on the available video evidence and a medical report from the West coast Football Club, the incident was assessed as careless conduct with low impact to the head. The incident was classified as a $1500 sanction. The player has no applicable record which impacts the penalty. An early plea enables the player to accept a $1000 sanction.

No wonder they shut you down, you're too clever by half.
That's not a bad record at all.

Seriously, though. That sucks.

Thanks, I was just doing it for this purpose. I'm not a gambler at all, a friend was giving me tips and I was getting increasingly frustrated when they weren't cutting me off as soon as I was expecting based on what I'd heard! Got there in the end.
