Woot Woot 
I'm currently in the process of depositing 50 units into my various arsehole books.
My 'unit' will be twice as big as last year 
My goal will be to double my bankroll by end of season (50 units).
Those who know me will know that accountability is my middle name. If I'm down plenty, it will be in glorious covers black & white.
Here's to an awesome 2010 season fellas 
Broncos vs Cowboys
Cowboys ML and/or +3.5
Agreed
Bulldogs vs Knights
No thanks
Panthers vs Raiders

My eyes were like dinner plates. Melbourne to flod the Phil Rothfields
Titans vs Warriors

Souths Vs Roosters
Roosters ML and/or +6.5

Wests Tigers vs Manly
Wests Morals
Agree, although the fucking Tigers are better dogs than favs. Another show me the total!
I know everyone around here is excited and running around humping their furniture ect in anticipation of the upcoming NRL season but personally, I'll be making very few plays on this because imo it is an extremely difficult competition to bet.
The way the game is played nowadays / the way its officiated make it a real coin toss with most games hanging on a knife edge / exchanging tries before a frantic final few minutes where anything goes.
Once the season is a few rounds old, bookmakers are getting their lines very sharp nowadays imo. 
and I do honestly appreciate your furniture fucking idea, I was giving it to the sofa when I read your post and felt kinda weird...
BUT.. I've been up in the last two or three seasons I reckon, save for:
a) homerism;
b) drunkensim, and;
c) spiteism.
My clear headed approach to betting this game will turn a profit imo. Eliminating the above.

Plodders $1.80 (-1.5) v Drug peddlers
Parramatta were running around in midweek races before the finals, where they ran four wide without cover and somehow flashed home to be beaten 8 lengths by Melbourne. To their credit, they beat third by half a length.
The Taliban of drug dealers are even harder to get a read on. They had nothing bar the person cross field bombs last year, but, according to the Charity Shield, Benny has turned Darius Boyd into Andrew Johns.
Fucking lottery that match.
Appreciated JT.
Us mugs will mug.
How will your mob go this year, I can tell you how I think they'll go?
not saying it aint possible AB, but selectivity will be massive for anyone who wants to do more than just break even. Unless you stick to the games that present really solid situational angles and leave the others alone, its a weekend merry-go-round. Very tough, very volitile, very unpredictable.
As for the Broncos, not sure. Haven't paid too much attention to their goings on and personel during the off-season. A big key will be Lockyer's decision on his rep status. If he steps down it'll be a big boost for the Broncs because he gets so busted up and run down during that middle period of the season playing the test and origins.
Needless to say they'll be very much poorer for the loss of Harmichael Kunt. Hodges is gone for the best part of the season too. Will be interesting to see what sort of role Tim Smith plays. There will be lots of new young blokes with plenty to prove but on face value it looks like a real challenge for the Broncos to maintain their longstanding status as a competition heavyweight this season.
2011 is what intruigues me. The Broncos should have a bit of cash to spend with Hunt and Joel Clinton gone. Traditionally they haven't really gone crazy on the player market, moreso adding key bits here and there and trying to retain the good ones they have over the years, but Bruno Cullen stated last season that policy might be about to change.

Lucky im not a odds maker

I need to be more selective this year, no doubt. See post #13 above.

Ivan says he isn't concerned because he has Smith and Hunt, but if Locky is playing when half the side isn't, that will definately help your boys. Although looking at your squad, chances are the Broncos won't be hit as hard this year.

I think K Hunt will be MASSIVELY missed. You guys can always produce a good kid, but I think this year the depth simply isn't there. Your pack is a real worry.

Kids like Yoh Yeh, McCollough, Teo, Norman et al. You paid overs for Clinton anyway. Brisbane have started to show their hand (Israel)..
