Alot to like.

1. We did not roll over and submit meekly when we were 25 points down.

2. We used the ball well in the second half.

3. The low key approach , let the scum do all the talking and overhype their team. The higher you clinb the harder you fall.

4. A system that actually worked. Sure we were playing the worst team in the comp but it worked as well as the team being capable to carry it out.

5. Having to hear Carlton fans talking pre game how Judd is the missing link in their significant climb up the ladder and with Walker and Kreuzer to come in they would be close to premiership glory if not there in 2 years. The looks on their faces in the last quarter was priceless.

6. Furthermore to point 5 I may even think some of them are closet Richmond supporters actually observing some Richmond fan like behaviour like throwing memberships caps and 2008 member scarves over the top level of the Olympic Stand once we went 103-79 up in the last quarter.

7. Then after all that , they still felt they deserved to win as we got 6 goals from free kicks.

8. To actually win a game against Carlton on the MCG that actually meant something and made them worse off than us in the overall scheme of things not just for that season, since the 1973 Grand Final win over them.

9. By that time I was tanked happy and could not give a crap about anything such was my tumultuous joy over the win.

10. Cleaning up on the roulette tables at the casino may a great night even greater.

11. Waking up no hangover, Tigers top of the ladder  :rollin  my wallet heavier and my wife still not mentioning the time I got home Priceless.

Wow, such a lucky man to have so much more to like about the win than me. Good luck to you and please tell me your secret for the roulette tables.
Here , kitty kitty. Here , kitty kitty.   AAAUGH!

"please tell me your secret for the roulette tables."

Yes - I'd like to know how to win at a game that guarantees to pay less than true odds   :lol

After that a perpetual motion maching would be nice.  :thumbsup

No real secret Fluffy just look for a non Indian or Asian dealer as they tend to be a little less repetitive spinners than eg European, Anglo or Latino and hit blocks of about 5 or 6 successive numbers on the wheel. eg 23, 8,30,11,36,13. 8 and 11 came up 3 times in 6 spins last nite then 30 came up in the seventh. It also helps as Euros, Latinos and Anglos tend to be more friendly croupiers when you talk to them as opposed to those aforementioned who are more afraid of the pit boss breathing down their neck and lack of comprehension to the jokes you crack in your tipsy light headed state, and hence good vibes resonate throughout your brief but fruitful relationship.
Take a break look at some skirt have a drink chat to your mates clear your mind and repeat by finding a new roulette table preferable well away from the one you were on.
Got lucky last night Fluffy, was not as lucky a few weeks back anyway best of luck to you when you go.  :thumbsup
The biggest key is study the croupier for about 5 or 6 spins and notice their demeanour also in terms of likely areas they will spin before you commit your hard earned as well as character in terms of chirpiness friendliness ALERTNESS and always try and squeeze into the seat right next to the wheel if possible to will the little white ball into the number slot you have chosen. Mind over matter also.  :thumbsup

I am only being positive thats all, if some of you read my post I did say "I know its only round one and its Carlton". But for ***** sake some of you have bagged everyone in the team from ass hole to breakfast time and now..... well I thought we performed really good in the end and I am happy!!

You cannot win at roulette in the long term - ever.

They pay less than true odds so it's just a numbers game for them. The more money on the table the bigger the win for them - it's simply a percentage of what is on the table.

Of course , I agree with you mjs. The house long term will win overall
But for suckers like me who enjoy the punt I like to find other ways that the house cannot defend against to somehow increase my odds even though many may argue with me or others who punt it is purely coincidental. Its all about looking for ways to increase your chances. Whatever table I sit on I will get paid straight up 35/1 regardless of my choice of croupier and any perceived psychological advantage I feel I may have over them or the house. Its all about committing to the punt when you feel good about it rather than doing it merely because you act compulsively and it is there.

Statistically the casino game easiest to win is black jack with odds of 17%.

As long as people do it for fun there's no problem - just becomes a problem when punters think they can ultimately win more than they lose. If it's a fun night it can be seen as a cost of the event.

I'm sure that you know, that with one black and 36 numbers the true odds for that 35/1 payout are 37/1, which is over 5% edge for the house. If there are two blacks (no idea if there are in Crown, I think it's a USA thing) it's a 38/1 bet which gives the house even more fat - nice way to make a living for them.

They didn't drop their heads when they were 4 goals down...

But I was really happy to see them trying to bring the ball back through the centre corridor - play like that and we will a few more than we did last year and we always remain in the contest because it give the forwards an opportunity one on one

Coming out on top of the hard ball gets - been along time since we've done that

Now just need to get that tackle count up

I loved the way Rainsy went in hard and didn't panic, Pattos attack on the ball and man when we needed people to stand up and the way Kingy just takes them on.

One thing of note was that if Cleave Hughes wants to keep his place he needs to be the running link up player that some other teams have developed. It was plain as day that we needed someone to forfill that role last night.

* Loved the gutsy marks of Cleve and Tambo

* Jacko's long goal to start the last quarter

* Patto's great snap for a big fella which we badly needed at the time

* Browny's clever goal around his body

As long as people do it for fun there's no problem - just becomes a problem when punters think they can ultimately win more than they lose. If it's a fun night it can be seen as a cost of the event.

I'm sure that you know, that with one black and 36 numbers the true odds for that 35/1 payout are 37/1, which is over 5% edge for the house. If there are two blacks (no idea if there are in Crown, I think it's a USA thing) it's a 38/1 bet which gives the house even more fat - nice way to make a living for them. 
At Crown it's worse as they have maximum limits on their bets so even if you play odds/evens or reds/blacks you've got stuff all chance of winning. It stops people doubling up on the same bet until they win.

You're right about taking it as a fun night where the money you lose (set a limit and stick to it) is accepted as the cost for a good night.

The main thing (which everyone has highlighted) was refusing to fold under pressure halfway into the 2nd quarter.

Foley of 2007 was no fluke, the boy can play
Raines ditto (hopefully) from 2006
Jake King can play - can really play

The captain was very good, howl me down but he was hard at it on Thursday night and we smashed them in hard ball gets.

After having heart in mouth for the first qtr and a half, Thursfield not only nullified the Urinator but started to win some of it himself.

Polak did not play that well but boy he is huge.
It's that simple Spud
