Punter’s Pal
As Richmond made public its mounting injury concerns last week, the punters push for Adelaide began and, despite a strong opening quarter from the Tigers, the money landed and opened the round in style. A round which was very friendly to those having a wager.
The other big-time win for punters was the final match of the round with the Giants getting rolling late to beat the Kangas at Blundstone Arena.
Bookie’s Best
In a round of just six matches where the six favourites saluted, the only win for the bookies was a very minor one as the Bulldogs just outlasted the Blues.
Having burnt punters as favourite numerous times this season, there was very little trust in the pups and, rightly so.
First Goal Frustration
Slim picking for first goal punters with three of the first four to drop all doing so at $41. Port Adelaide’s Patty Ryder was the first to do the right thing by bettors as he nailed the opener against the Dockers.
Multi Magic
For some, bonus bets can be a poison chalice. For the round 13 punters of the week, it was a gift from the Gods.
He turned a $50 bonus bet into $22,910 cash after combing Essendon 1-19 / St Kilda 1-24 / Fremantle 1-24 / Western Bulldogs 1-24 / GWS Giants 20-39 at the very nice price of $459.22.
Backing The Future
Geelong and Collingwood remain steady at their pre-round 13 prices having had the week off, whilst Richmond continues to blow out after a horror fortnight.
Gold Coast and Carlton are now out of the premiership market having eased beyond 5000-1
