You usually put a bet on the Maroons. They've been paying you for rnt sessions for years. Keeping your money in your wallet this year or keeping the faith?

You are not wrong there and thanks to the mighty Maroons winning the last 11 series in 12 years. This time of the year has been really good to my punting funds !Quote:

But then again, when was the last time you can get $3.00 for the Queenslander ??
Still betting as usual and if the Maroons come up again, big big wins to collect ........ haha
Queenslanders !!
Ps. I hope the Maroons can put up a 5 Star performance so that I can give myself a 5 Star treats later ........ haha
Nsw always lose the so called unloseable game
Sup.
Fuck Ramos.
Cheers.
Damn Maroons.. hoped to make use of Sportsbet's 8UP offer and put 100 on them hoping against hope they will go 8 up. Came close though, 4 up and 1 more try would have been 2 rnts.lol
Got my money and more back from Rafa vs Diego.. I knew Diego will break Rafa left, right and centre :)
Anyone here follows tennis?
Well, Game 1 is over, NSW won and won quite convincingly I think.
We scored one intercepted try and one off a kick, so really didn’t break the Blue’s line all night, need to do better in Sydney or the series will be goooone !
Matt Scott and Slater have to play next game and Kevie need to find a spot for Ponga !
I see your point but the Blues was already 8 up in the first half, I don’t think the deal will be good for the second team who went 8 points up after ?Quote:

I had a same game multi last night:
34.5 points, Holmes to score and Ado-Carr to score, missed by 1/2 point. That was my 5 Star money, damn !
No, the deal is 8UP ANYTIME in the duration of the game. At one point QLD lead 12-8. Had they had scored the next try they would have gone 16-8 (18-8 if converted) and I would have been paid out the winnings the next minute. I've had payouts like this in the past from them both with NRL and AFL.Quote:

So my strategy is for a particular Rafa service game, Diego breaks($50) or Rafa wins to deuce($15). Both around 4 odds.
Nice one bro, you're a pro.Quote:

I wish I put a bet on the unseeded Italian guy to beat The Joker - that would have paid heaps!
I used to go mad but not anymore. Nowadays I wait for my match, may or may not work out. For e.g I wouldn't dare do this bet on Cilic vs Delpo. No breaks in their match yet, into the tiebreaker in 1st set. Both big servers and big hitters.Quote:

Who would have predicted Cecchinato? Sigh he's never won a grand slam match before!
Thanks Prashvj,Quote:

Talking about the Maroons leading at 12-8, they made a break and Chamber dropped the ball 10 metres out and the Blues scored next and went Bang Bang and the game was over, that was a turning point !
Yeah, that's right! I was holding my breath, lost hope soon after..Quote:

And 11 years is about the career length of a rugby league player, so there is the obvious answer.
The angst about nsw losing year after year never worried me. I just felt privileged to be able to watch that rare combination of a small group of champions playing for Qld together. Those five are going to be named immortals in the future, and nsw or qld supporters, we were all lucky to have the privilege of witnessing their unique combination.
You could see that their sheer footballing brains were missing from Qld last night. Those missing four in combination would have toyed with the nsw newbies. :D
Well summation GM,Quote:

But while The Maroons have all those once in a generation players, it was always very close and NSW could have won anywhere between 1 to 5 more series if not for 2 field goals from Cronk in 2012, 2015!
And three series we won by 2 points (all JT) in 2013, 2016 and game 2 last year !
So, rather than Qld winning 11 from 12 series, it could easily be 6 all or 7-5 either ways!
I think Maroons will make a few changes to recall Scott, Slater, Gillett and Glasby (if fit), and we have to find room for Ponga !
May be drop Chambers, move Gagai to the centre and Ponga on the wing. As with Billy returning for Full Back, Morgan will go to the bench.
Ps. If Billy is not 100%, Ponga straight to No 1.
Yes thats rightQuote:

Unbelievable talent
When they were gone, Australia became less imposing
NSW scored tries, and gave Queensland a try off that interceptQuote:

NSW need to win 10 years in a row however, before we can erase the pain of the last 12 years
Feel sorry for the previous NSW Coach Laurie Daley
Im sure if he hadnt been dumped, he could have been a victorious coach
But he had to be dropped, he was just too close to the players, and too many of them were on the drink and not focussed
No idea why Aaron Woods was kept in the team for so long.
Anyway Freddy Fittler can look like a guru coach now for the next 10 years, because Queenslands best days are behind them
Look forward to Mitchell and Ato Carr and Cook and Tedesco shredding the Queensland line in a few weeks in Sydney
I don’t feel sorry for Daley , he kept on picking plodders. Ado Carr and Mitchell should set have been in the side last year , and he kept picking Pearce even those we lost half a dozen or more series with that bloke and only series we win in last 12 was without himQuote:

BTW, Daley and the Blues were so close last year, they were one JT goal away from winning the series last year .
So the bottom line is, forget about Daley or Freddy or Addo-Carr or Cook .
It’s always the missing of JT, Cronk, Smith and Slater - that was the difference .
Just like NSW was never the same since Joey Johns retired ! Right ??
Fair enough. Cant remember, who were the plodders that NSW kept selecting?Quote:

Halep vs Stephens is going to be interesting also. Halep should pull through but feels too close to put money on.
