Umm... Skids, are you explaining to people what the odds mean, or do you mean you put $400 on? You're making me nervous!

Hahaha. I've put $200 on.
Also a multi - Pies 40+, total over 163, Sidey 30+ possessions. $100 @ 15/2.

Brave. Cant see both teams combining to 163. Not even close.

It's happened in 5 of our 8 games... I think I'm on the money.
With the projected outs, since I played the bet, my biggest concern is the 40+ margin.

Okay, so you said earlier:

* $400 on.... $1k back.
You put down $200 on Pies by 40+ (6/4), thus got $500, but lost $100 on Sidey because he failed to secure 1 more measly possession, which should have netted another $750?! :x

Yes mate, I actually thought I had it, then checked and saw 29.... unreal. That's punting. Up a few on the day though, so can't complain 8)

I was thinking of you in the last few minutes as I watched Sidey put the cue in the rack. I really, really wanted him just to get one more handball for you. In the last bit, he played like he wants a post-Collingwood career as a bookmaker.

I was thinking of Skids's first bet all through the last 10 or 15 minutes. When the margin went from 40 to 46 points... Wow.... And then the oppo kicked another goal and it was back to 40... Nerve-wracking.

Again, I suggest re-watching and counting to see if they missed one.

I'm still trying to understand why they paid out early (and incorrectly) on the election result.
