    Oh sorry I misread it I thought he meant to win the tournament. To win the match he was paying 9.00. I looked at it but decided to stick with the set win.

    Was 11-1 to win early yesterday but like GYR said, was $9 to win by the end. I had $10 on Nadal to win it in 3-2 which was 9-1(?) and thought I'd toss $10 on Kyrgios to win for the hell of it, glad I did lol.

    Since I won $140 today I chucked a few more WC bets on

    $28 on winning country to be from South America @ $1.85
    $10 on the WC final being Brazil/Argentina @ $5.00
    $30 on Brazil/Germany/Argentina/Dutch to progress to the semis paying $123.30
    $30 on Brazil/Argentina/Dutch to progress to the semi's paying $72.60

    Still got my original $50 bet on Brazil to win @ 3.75

    Ah yeah, if you can find odds that high. I don't know of anyone offering anything close to that. NSW are around 2.60 from what I've seen.

    Isn't Tom Waterhouse "taking NSW on" or something like that? I don't bet and don't care much for rugby but I have seen an ad for something like that.

    That's very good value. I don't think they will but they're certainly better than a 25% chance.

    Actually didn't. Had Boyd + Qld win, and Hayne + Qld win.

    Well, we have 4 rounds of footy to play.

    Broncos - 24. F/A +79
    Dragons - 22. F/A -67

    Dragons obviously need to win 2 more games than what Brisbane do because of for/against. If they lose down in Canberra this week, I think the wager is pretty much done and dusted. They'd have to win all three remaining games and hope Brisbane only win 1. Or win 2 of 3 and hope Brisbane win none.

    So yeah, back to the point you made a few weeks ago, Brisbane may well have had an easier draw up until then but St. George have, in my opinion, had a much, much easier time with injury and Origin. Don't think that can really even be argued.

    Bet365 system for the ITM Cup is flawed (to the benefit of the customer). They have the cash out feature where even before the game is started you can accept to take slightly less of your bet back to effectively cancel your bet. What is meant to happen is once the game starts this amount will fluctuate (if your team is winning, you'd expect it to be more than your bet etc.) They do it for most events.

    Anyway, for the ITM Cup the cash out amount just never updates (even when there's only 30 seconds left and a clear winner). So I put for example $1 (pitiful amount) on North Harbour to win @$4.50 (good odds but let's face it NH was unlikely to win - as has been the case as the game is about to finish). With 3 minutes left atm the cash out amount has not changed and I can cash out 95 cents. So basically I put up a bet with a potential to gain $3.50 for the sake of 5 cents.

    Big big flaw. Even with bigger amounts ($20 for example, the cash out is $19).

    Big incentive to tip the underdog for some games and even a good thing for games that don't go the way you think they will.

    do they have playthrough requirements or something like that to cash out if you win though? i'd imagine they don't just punt off freerolls like that for people

    edit: yup. 'before you can withdraw your winnings, you need to turnover the winnings once at odds of $1.50 or more'. that's not too bad actually i guess

    thx theo
