Talking about sportsmanship, probably half of each side from the Maroons and Blues will join camp at the end of the seasons for some test matches , it will be interesting too see how Big Mal is gonna to make a strong team out of the two Origin Camps ??

Gee, ahlungor, you really are a happy go lucky guy!

If I'm not mistaken, you are on a $200 / month punting budget atm (previous mentioned) and yet you were about to win about $500 if the maroons won. As they were $1.95 ish, does this mean you just lost a bet of $500??

If my calculations are correct, if I were in this situation, I'd pretty much be suicidal by now. But you seem as happy as larry!

Do you read eastern Buddhist philosophy or something? What's your secret?

Yeap, could have collected around $500 bucks if Maroons had won (not winning $500/but collecting ! ) But I didn't lost the $500 as you said, more like $200!

The 4 possible winning tickets I had were:

Maroons to win @$2.05x60
Maroons to win 1-12 @$2.65x60
Boyd to score a try and Maroons to win @$5.50x20
Cooper to score a try and Maroons to win @$8.50x20

Oates to score first try and Gagai to score first try were lost any way.($40)

Bloody Tedesco and Jenning's !!


Ps. Actually it could have been more as I had another treble on Murray/Williams/Queensland as well !

Ok, I got you now!

I thought it was a flat out Maroons to win $500 @ $1.95 ! then , I would have been truly devastated!

By the way, I wanted to ask you. You said you're a fortnightly punter. How do you find that? Do you get any cravings etc on the other weeks?

I ask because I'm trying to figuire out my punting timetable, as I've got legits in there aswell this year.

Last year I was meant to be weekly rnt, but ended up with 70-odd for the year.

How did we lose that test?

We rolled SL out for peanuts in the first innings!

Do we have a problem against spin aswell as swing??

[AHLUNGOR]

Too many batsmen are batting like this is a 20/20 match !

Lucky I never punt on Cricket.

I have a look the other morning. It was $1.16 AUS to win...

Match fixing maybe??

It's happened before....

Damn, wonder what odds SL would be?

Damn,the guy who bet on SL is one lucky punter! (As I'd say about the guy walking out of Silver Fox!)

Yes, too much money for nothing with t20. Has ruined a lot of players. Look at West Indies.

Soccer tips for tonight:-

Lens (France Ligue 2)
Sirius (Swedish Ligue 2)
Huddersfield (England Championship-featuring Australia's own Aaron Mooy)

I'm so disappointed with the results of the Rio Olympic, three Gold from the Swim Team is just not good enough, where are all the stars ?

I still remember in the 2004 Game in Athens when Jodie Henry won 3 Golds , she swam in the 100 Free, Gold and World Record, in addition to her two anchor leg of the 4x100 free relay and the 4x100 medley relay, three finals, three Gold and three World Records, that's what we are talking about !

Where the bloody hell were our star swimmers ??

[AHLUNGOR]

And four years later in Beijing, in came Stephanie Rice:

Again, Rice swam in three finals, 3 Gold and 3 World Records !

Those were the days when staying up late to watch the Olympics was so worthwhile !

It's all perspective. If you switched camp and cheer for USA, then it should have been rewarding.

Just like the girls we adore here, if you're not getting any gold or silver service, better switch camp and move on.

[AHLUNGOR]

what kind of Gold or Silver services are you talking about ??

Sorry I'm just making analogy of olympic medals with services from punting. I'm sure we all have gotten some better service than standard service.

Steve Smith got sent home for a rest half way through the 5 games ODI series, Not a good sign for the Aussie Cricket Captain and the Team at all !!

May be he shouldn't be captain of all three forms of cricket, I think he should concentrate on Test only and at the most, Test and ODI, give up the T20 and wear less hats will do him a world of good.

How good is footy last weekend !!

Buddy hits form at the right time with 7 major. The Swans is the team to beat now for the AFL Flag.

And perhaps another all Queensland Grand Final in on the card again, I don't think any team can beat the Broncos and Cowboys last weekend - both away from home and beating a fellow top 4 team - GOLD !!

Go Queenslanders and Go Swannie !!

Anyone thought the sharkies would ve beat the Raiders ?

We're going all the way baby !

[AHLUNGOR]

Anyone thought the sharkies would ve beat the Raiders ?

We're going all the way baby !

No not really, and certainly no one would give you a chance when the Raiders were 12-0 up and you lost Graham early, so for the Sharks to come back and win - Respect !!
