AFL round 5

[brent-83]

Multi up the 8 and it pays only $4.50

Can't see any of them being upset though... Maybe ANZAC day clash will be close

Profit is profit

stupid! sure they would be $1.05 chances but why pay out? all another pathetic publicity stunt.

[Johno6]

what were they paying at the start of the year?
has a team ever gone through the season without a win?

[mighty_tiger_79]

Totally agree.
Can understand paying out as a show of good faith to punters once it is mathematically impossible but after round 4

May not be mathematically impossible, but surely logically impossible....

[Dutchy]

Of course its a publicity stunt, why else would they do it, the media fall for it and make it very very cheap advertising

Good on them I say, punters will be rapt, at best their $$$ were 4 months away, now they have $$$ in their account

[Mr_Willy]

They are $1.25 with TATTSBET.... Better than bank interest, thats like 50% interest p.a.... if you invest it for 6 months.....

Richmond and Melbourne opened up both $4 when markets opened. Both came into $2.50 after round 1.

[JK]

Paves the way for them to open up a "Who will finish 15th" market and try to recoup some of their losses?

[brent-83]

They should payout on Adelaide now

[mighty_tiger_79]

yeah but adelaide wouldve been a lot longer then richmond for the spoon

[jackpot jim]

$1-01 Fremantle
Not even Hottie would be that stoooooopid to back them
Those odds are about the most absurd odds Ive ever seen in a footy market

Why is it absurd ?
$1.01 would be about the right price i would've thought.
Richmond will be lucky to get within 15 goals.

UNBELIEVABLE............ Fremantle have now drifted to an amazing $1.02 with tattsbet after a flood of money has forced them to shorten richmond into $12 from $13.

Fremantle line (-53.5) looks a bird

[White Line Fever]

Excuse my ignorance, but could someone please explain the concept of a line bet?

I've only ever really bet on win and first goal.

line bet is a handicap bet- the favoured team in an event starts on minus points, the other starts on plus points.
eg #1 Fremantle -53.5 @ $1.91 means for the punter to collect on Fremantle $1.91 Line bet, Fremantle need to win by 54 points or more.
eg #2 Richmond +53.5 @ $1.91, Richmond must lose by 53 points or less.
the ".5" factor is to eliminate the prospect of a draw

[Mr_Willy]

Richmond can also win in the above scenario.

Effectively they have a 53 point head start...
