Being a Gamblerholic,Goldmember,I just continue fronting up at the local tote and throw my money away.It is only on AFL that I put effort into my betting.
I am starting to see Mr J as my new role model.Not for his peculiar activities or mannerisms,but for his commitment to treating his betting as a business.
Am considering devoting some effort into Greyhound betting.Plenty of bets means plenty of turnover,which hopefully means plenty of income.

Thanks for the words Mo. Just feel that if you want to make money, you can't do it half-assed :wink: It's a pretty unforgiving line of work.

How about starting up a Dear Mr J thread.When you ain't got much on,you can answer or not,special questions that I need answered.
Like how can I resist the temptation of having a bet when I say +32 and can only get +31.And how much does a realistic bank need to be.I've got millions of them.Well,more than two anyway.

What do greyhounds chase Mo? ,how could you
With greyhounds you need a lot of inside info
Cheers

GreyhoundsThey are supposed to be chasing a lure,but from what I'm seeing,it's more like most of them are chasing each other.
Inside information?.Like what they had for breakfast and lunch?.

Got caught up in the excitement of the Brownlow,so Bank stands at $797.50 with a collect of $700 should Chris Judd collect his very deserving award.

Now from what ive heard around the traps is that gambling on most things has the old fixeroo element.I remember a game where the swans were playing one of the lower teams late last year,they were in front by 40points with 4 seconds to go when there was a very obvious rushed behind ,margin 39 points then siren,so i thinks to meself,how filthy would you have been if you took 40+ at say $2 and 1-39 was $3.25.I reckon some teams bet on themselves in all codes,horses are pulled up all the time and greyhounds are given water or butter or have there balls squeezed.
So when I say inside info ,I mean from the horses or dogs or footballers mouth.There are variables outside your control.Last year when West coast beat Lions at Gabba by 69 points,matthews thought hello this ones out of reach take the good players off,they didnt care whether Wc won by 40 or 80.Now you might say what has all this got to do with anything
I just think there is more going on in sport,politics etc.Now I'm not saying I read NEXUS magazine and think that osama bin laden is living in Washington and is employed by the CIA,Im just saying there is form you can follow and there is form that blows you out of the water.collingwood won on Friday at Subiaco,thats a miracle isnt it
Cheers

Gee,there's a fair mouthful.Maybe you should start a thread about the rigging element in gambling.
One thing is that I always thought miracles were for the benefit of Mankind.

Haven't quite got it perfect at the minute,but it seems to revolve around:

Brisbane -43
Adelaide -21
$50 @ about $4.10 equals $205

Essendon +10
Brisbane -44
Adelaide -21
$40 @ about $6.10 equals $244

Brisbane -44
Adelaide -22
Kangaroos +40
$40 @ about $6.00 equals $240

Total of $130 invested brings us back to $667.50

Go the angry Lions.

Oh well.We needed the rain.
So our bets went down the drain.
Got a quiet foursome going tonight and tomorrow.Let it be hush-hush for now for luck.
