AFL-NAB challenge (pre season)

It's the dart throwing season, starting tomorrow night with hawthorn vs Carlton

Hawks -32.5

Bet 0.000001% of your bankroll

Why is there such a huge difference in the game total from Bet365 to tab.com.au. Bet365 160.5 and Sportstab 167.5

Dropped by 2 points at TAB and 1 at Bet365

Didn't see the totals as I'm not currently using those books. Probably would suggest taking the under in all games first week if you have to bet it.

Fremantle vs Richmond

Richmond +42.5

Like this bet, thinking of playing it too.

Awful game, expected Richmonds youngens to be better than that and push for selection, oh well

Saints +24.5

Port Adelaide  +28.5

Will probably be just backing the underdogs to cover in the first couple weeks

Agreed Saints, good luck

Dang, had just gone to play Swans -28.5 or whatever, and it's -38.5!! Shite! I think Buddy is gonna have a ripper, but I'm not laying that many

Buddy will be lucky to play half the game.

Swans fielding a strong squad, Power fielding trash. 

I took Power +31.5 early in the 2nd... Swans being Swans, no hunger, despite mismatch in experienced fielders.

Ok, the feeling of footy is back has worn off, it's not really back and this nab challenge system is crap, they need to bring back the old system that made it a proper pre season competition, it had more credit and most teams took it a fair bit more serious than these practice matches.

continuing with the underdogs to cover experiment in these practice matches

West Coast +42.5

Brisbane +16.5

I'm not even looking at the lineups so grain of salt

Yeah, taking the Eagles line with you

Yeah I'm not going to just take the dogs to cover anymore. Time to look at team line ups etc, selected teams will be better from here. I hate pre season just doing it because of the drought. Can't wait for March 24th!

Giants vs Bulldogs

Bulldogs -27.5, fielding a good list just don't know how serious they will take it, would cover this line very easy if it was during the season proper so they should tonight, hopefully

Not sure about tonights game Geelong vs Collingwood, fairly evenly listed teams for a challenge match and I think it could go either way. Will sit back and watch and see what happens.

Have a feel for who might want it more? My gut says Pies, being the younger team with a poor finish to last season

Missed that the Cats are only playing 26 players. Could we see a slow paced game ?

Thanks mate... Have to say the line doesn't seem like it's offering much value given that extra info (not that I saw much before it). Feels like Cats win by 2-4.5 goals or so.

I just took Pies 1Q +5.5 mins before game

Holy Mary mother of God! That was the best Q of footy I've seen in ages - the preseason Q ever across sports! I put a decent amount on my play, thinking Pies would want it more AND that they start well typically. But from the 5 or 6 min to go mark, when the Cats realised what was on their hands, I didn't care who won. Edge of my seat entire time!
