Open pledge to the Gambling Gods.
Couple of weeks ago I laid some hard earned on The Power to get up over Sydney, they usually go all right there & were quite juicy odds. Obviously I was quite dismayed to see them lay down & let The Swannies pillage them. OK, noted to self to be very wary of these turquoise pretenders when laying out the cash, but last week I noted that the Cats had shakey form at the concrete jungle & Pork surely could'nt put in another performance like that one. Never backed them but thought that as I'm leading a couple of footy tipping contests by 2 or 3 wins The Power would be a good chance of boosting my lead. How wrong I was.
So down to the nitty gritty.
The facts are - Teal have won their past 7 straight v The Whorks by an average of just over 10 goals. Better still have won their past 4 at Footy Park v Hawthorn by an average of close on 15 goals, thats better than twice the 40+, since 94 Hawthorn have won just 2 of 18 games at no beer park.....fair numbers !!.
So
This weekend, nay right now I'm backing the Teal, even having a taste of the 40+ @ 9/2. Dont want to hear about the weather, Buddy Franklin express, Whorks winning their past 12 of 13, nothing !! the numbers speak for themselves.
but
If these weak kneed willy holders let me down this week let it be known that I shall never, ever ever EVER put a brass razoo on their pretending arses again, let alone tip them for the rest of the year. Lose this one & I don't care if their playing the Al Shaheed primary 1st 18 I'll be on the mini sheiks.
