I was going to back the Saints last Saturday morning for this week when I could have got $2.30.....damn.
At least I managed to get $5 when we played Essendon, $3.00 when we played Hawthorn and $3.10 when we played Melbourne.
I think the days of getting generous odds might be gone.
i did back the Saints pre-season at $6.50 to make the 8 and could have got around $10 after playing Gold Coast. We are now around $1.70 for the 8 which will shorten if we win this week.
I think a lot of folks put money on us, hoping to get a nice payout at good odds,
because they think we are a chance (I already gave my reasons under "Changes vs Crows" thread)
I don't know enough about betting to say, but I thought "favourites" would be something like $1.40,
so $1.90 vs $2.00 is pretty close to even?

Speaking of bets ...
My son put $10 on the game last week - some convoluted punt where he had to get 3 or 4 things right (where Billings had to get 25 plus possessions, Ross had to get 25 plus possessions and Steele had to get 20 plus possessions - plus St Kilda had to win by 40 points plus - something like that?) for the bet to pay.
And the last thing that he got right was when Billings kicked the goal at the end of the game that put the Saints 40 points in front (
Anyway, it paid $300. Not too shabby.

Your son is a genius.

Did somebody say we are $1.70 to finish in the top 8? That's amazing.
I'm still thinking that we might win 8 or 9 games this year, that would have us around 11th or 12th.
To get into the 8, we'd probably need to win 13 games, that's another 9. The odds of that. I'd say is about $3.50
IF we win this week, I would think it’s more likely than not we’ll play finals. Hard to see us missing from 5-1 with the draw we have, unless Ratts goes on holiday and our form falls right off
All posters are equal, but some posters are more equal than others.
Hmmm concerning.... money starting to come for the Saints. I’m also worried that Jack Steele was answering questions about finals at the presser this week. Hope there hasn’t been too much drinking of the bath water and patting each other on the back after last weekend. Would love to put the Crows to the sword.... not over 97 yet. GO SAINTS!!

I got on Billings to win the Brownlow a week ago at $41. He has come into $26
remember who votes in the Brownlow...
more likely someone like Sloane of the Crows or any other ball magnet,
maybe even Cripps from the Bluescum- because which other Bluebagger will steal votes from him?
