Week 2.  The market for the Wizard Cup is coming out, and the Saints say they are desperate to win it.

Anyone got the Wizz Fizz odds please?

Anyone got the Wizz Fizz odds please?

Can't find any yet LT. Saints probably favourite at this stage.

If we are up and about early in our preparation compared to other sides then we could make a run. We would face IIRC a WA side in week 2 if we get past the Pies first up. With Wallace's more attacking game and the rule that the higher scoring team gets "home" ground advantage then it's not unreasonable to think we could be a chance to get through to a semi-final.

Week 2 bets.  Not enough in the market for the Wizard Cup to back yet.

But deciding that the odds on Brisbane at the moment are too good to miss out on

Week two bets -
Brisbane for the top 4    $10 at 1.9
Brisbane for the top 8    $10 at 1.18 (again)

Week one bets
WCE for the top 4.        $10 at 2.96
Brisbane for the top 8.   $10 at 1.18

Outlay - $40
Return - nil
Value of current bets - $40


Still waiting for the brownlow market and the Wizard Cup market.

Movements in betting - Brisbane firmed for the top 4 - 1.9 to 1.8

Richmond are lengthing already for the Wooden spoon.  Are people reading the training reports?
Hawks and nth Melbourne very short - 2/1 each????

Week 3 bets.  STILL Not enough in the market for the Wizard Cup to back yet.

Again, the odds on Brisbane at the moment are too good to miss out on.

You get around 5% interest in the bank across a year, how about 20% on Brisbane making the eight!

Week three bets -
Brisbane for the top 8    $20 at 1.2

Week two bets -
Brisbane for the top 4    $10 at 1.9
Brisbane for the top 8    $10 at 1.18 (again)

Week one bets
WCE for the top 4.        $10 at 2.96
Brisbane for the top 8.   $10 at 1.18

Outlay - $60
Return - nil
Value of current bets - $60

Still waiting for ... the Wizard Cup market.

Nothing to do with the Tiges but apparently LT the Power are going all out to win the Wiz Cup this year because they want the dough to pay off their last "entry into AFL" payment to the AFL early.

[LondonTiger]

Week 4 bets.  Took MTs suggestion for the Wizard Cup and took Port at 5.6.

Week four bets
Port to win Wizz - $8 at 5.6
WCE for the top 8 $12 at 1.35


Outlay - $80
Return - nil
Value of current bets - $80


Brownlow market just set in UK.  Judd is at $9.  Riew - at $13.  Is this good?

The odds are against Riewoldt. When was the last time a CHF won the brownlow? Come to think of it has a CHF ever won one ???. Hart, Brereton and Carey would be arguably classed as the 3 best of all time but never won a brownlow. Plus Tredrea missed out last year.

Judd could do it again as you would expect the Eagles to finish around top 4. Depends on how much attention he now gets compared to Cousins who'd normally get the opposition tag. Gardiner returning might also take some votes away if his knee holds up.

Brownlow's a toughy at this time of year. Just need one injury or suspension over the next 8 months and your stuffed.

Looks like in a couple of years we will be generating revenue via betting on footy directly through the RFC site:

Teams eye betting sites
By Danny Buttler
March 09, 2005

AFL clubs are looking to generate millions of dollars by running their own sports betting sites.

As the AFL seeks an avenue into the $1.5 billion sports betting market, clubs are considering a punt on creating their own income from web-based betting agencies.

The idea is based on the lucrative English Premier League soccer system, which allows supporters to bet through club websites.

Clubs such as Arsenal use bookmakers, including Ladbrokes, to run their sports books, with an estimated 30 per cent of revenue going to the club.

At present, AFL clubs receive no direct revenue from football betting
