    I bet a rugby parlay blind last weekend and lost 1 of the 3 games, small wager for fun with no knowledge.  Deserved a loss I guess. Just checked my local for fun and EXPLAIN THIS PLEASE: Aussie rules- hawks -3000 & Bombers -8000! These lines blow my mind, guaranteed locks or your just a f***n idiot for taking either?

    I do not follow the AFL much but usually can get teams laying around 100 points from what I see sometimes.

    You want parlay builders take.

    Crusaders in Super 15 Rugby.

    Raiders in NRL

    Parity in the AFL is non-existent. It's a game of 'haves' and have 'nots'...

    I appreciate your response and input, I'm a typical American sports bettor who plays football, basketball, and baseball. NHL was fun this year and a first, my squad the Blackhawks made it easy- probably once in a lifetime from a betting standpoint. I'm ignorant to the game of rugby but i swear most games I've watched are around 20ish, care to elaborate more. Please lol!

    GWS are actually staying close, You'd be worried if you took the short price.

    They have only been around for 2 years and have won 2 games from 37. Essendon are 12-3 and coming third this season.
