Who Cares Cup?

Whats the bet?????????


Press Release

This weekend the MCG will host what many are calling the 'Who Cares Cup'. The cup will be played
between the Demons and the Dockers and just may break an attendance record - for the lowest ever.
"There are six Fremantle supporters in Victoria and all are expected to attend, they are also
expecting 3 or 4 Port supporters who can't find Telstra Dome and that leaves the rest of the crowd
up to Melbourne", said Phil Hannah GM of Sportsbet.com.au. Last year, when these two clubs met at
the MCG it was round 4. Both teams were winless with Melbourne last and 'Freo' third last. A crowd
of 16,654 attended. In 2008 Melbourne are again winless with six losses and are again sitting on
the bottom of the ladder. The Dockers have 1 win, 5 losses and are again third last. It's also
expected to rain, with a 21% chance of a storm, which won't help unless that storm is the Melbourne
Storm. For the punter looking for something a bit different, sportsbet.com.au have opened a book on
crowd attendance for this game.


"WHO CARES CUP"

Gate Attendance 0 - 12500 2.85
Gate Attendance 12501 - 14500 2.75
Gate Attendance 14501 Plus 2.50

Payout on selection of official attendance at Melbourne/Fremantle game

Interesting Betting option this one.
What other Bet option is there where the Punter can Actually Genuinely influence the Result?
For me the 14500+ would be a Reasonable Bet.

You would have to factor in paying someone to use the tickets as well though.

why dont you take the under 15,500 and try and middle both bets and clean up risk free?

looked at the past few games between these teams at the G and they have had 16k and 17K recently when both teams were travelling well....give some cold weather and TV coverage might keep more at home that you think....Im going Under!
