The Plumbers (4 of us) started a little punting crew last week. Put $10 each in and with the Skidsters little 3 leg winner at the Sunny Coast races + a team picked multi winner on an AFL/NRL double last weekend ( Crows -19.5/Raiders H@H). We've got a healthy little $300 kitty.

This week we have a few multis.

Elliot 1st goal/Beams 30+ touches - $10 @ $18

Melb/syd/bris all win by 1-39/T.Kelly 30+ touches/any player kick 5 goals GWS v Rich - $10 @ $70

Jenkins/Franklin/Kennedy all 1st goal kickers - $5 @ $430

Crows & GWS 1-39/Melb -16.5/Swans 40+/T.Kelly & Danger 30+ touches - $5 @ $162

And with teams lodged (Jacobs out) the odds have flipped.
BetEasy: Geelong (-1.5) line; 1.85 (1.95) H2H.

sb: Adelaide/Geelong 1.90 H2H.
TAB: Geelong (-1.5) line; 1.85 (2.00) H2H.

Cats now a clear favourite @ $1.77 (SB), $1.87 (WATAB) and $1.80 (Ladbrokes).

We are way unders at $1.46 (SB), $1.48 (WATAB) and $1.42 (Ladbrokes).

I'm going Pies win/total points over 166.5 in our game, into either team by under 15.5 points in tonight's game @ $8.05 (powered).

Yep. $1.41 at sb... Hype must be out of control. Are there no betting Weagles fans? Strange.

It looks even stranger after the game. According to sportsbet, we had a 66% chance of winning. Did it appear that way during the game? Insanity.

Pies still (equal) flag favourites.

If not for 2 ridiculous 50's (one was a 12 point play as we were heading forward) and a babbling booby on the wing... yeah, it did.

Don't think so. Take out that stuff and maybe it looked 50-50. Even that's being pretty one-eyed. I don't see how it could look two-out-of-three (except in Q1, but the last 3 MCG games against them have had fast starts).

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. I was very confident going in.

But going in, you said "We are way unders," which is agreeing with me about the odds, right?
