Title: Best first quarters
Post by: Moi on May 24, 2006, 10:13:46 AM
I can't bet against the Tiges, so instead of picking Adelaide to win last week, i had a bet for Adelaide to win the first quarter.
Then decided to pick every other game and do it as a multi.  Hard to pick, i know, but it pays better than if you just pick the winner of the match.  Anyway, after multiing them all up it paid approx $50 for a $1 bet.  Didn't win, becuase i bombed out on the Adelaide/Richmond leg - we won the first quarter - which wasn't expected.

Thought i'd give it another go this week, and would like to know who are the best teams in the first quarters.

Anyone??

Looks like Adelaide is the best so you were very stiff this last week.

In fact here is a better link which gives you percentages for each quater

Thanks Fluffy.  I will have to do some studying before my next bet lol
Not a big gambler, but do like to have a flutter on long shots - and if you can get a good value one where you still have a reasonable chance, is fun.  Yep, i got the Melbourne one in, then Richmond won the first quarter (where anyone in their right mind at the time would have thought Adelaide), and i was in with a chance.
Just a bit of fun.

Also like to have multi bets on plus 39.5 bets, hoping there are no blowouts - with the off chance the blowout will fall in your favour anyways of the team you picked.
