it doesn't matter what the odds were we're not gonna win. top 8 is more realistic.

tbh anyone who puts good money on winning the premiership is an idiot. The chances of a team winning a premiership is so low and unpredictable regardless of how good the theoretical injury free 1st choice squad is. No one can have a good prediction one year out who will win cause really one injury to a key player can kill your chances and injuries aren't all that rare in league.

So true.

Who would of thought at the end of 2008, the raiders came 6th?

Their easily the most under-rated and least spoken about team in the comp IMO.

I did...I backed the Raiders to make the 8 @ $6.25 at the start of February last year. They win more games at home than a lot of sides while we don't have that kind of record at home.

Odds are okay without being "Must throw a bucketload on them"

LOL...thats why its called "Gambling" and not "winning". Guess you could say the same about every horse race but hey people still bet and people still win :grinning:

Fair enough mate, I just mean betting on the premiership winners is not worth it, betting on top 8 though, it's a great bet $3.25 and theoretically it's a 50 50 chance.

It depends on how you look at it Kimlo. They maybe a 50/50 chance in your eyes but what about the teams that are a better shot at it then us ? Do they have a 50/50 chance ? Do you think Manly are a 50/50 chance of making the 8 ? Melbourne ? There are about 3-5 sides which are absolute certainties to make the 8. That leaves 3-5 other spots for another 10-13 teams to fight out. Thats not 50/50 (theoretically ;) )which is why we are $3.25 and not $1.90 (50/50 in betting terms) :grinning:

Its all about the odds mate and not just about the Dogs but you have to involve the other teams when weighing those up. Its a numbers game :grinning:

Think of it this way - You need 12 wins to make the eight ..... IS $3.25 overs for us winning 12 this year with our squad ????

Kn'Oath it is !!!!!

1/16 chance, take away the pretender teams and you're still an idiot kimlo

seems like a good bet to me . i think we can expect the eight with the players we have bought and the troublemakers we have let go.
