Thornton

[Squawk]

I'm still waiting for him to post his Magarey odds. He must be running scared of a sting there and waiting to suss out all the new recruits because he still wont post his market. Apparently it is 2-3 weeks away yet. What a joke - imagine not being able to bet on the browlow until Round 6?

i bet he opens up j.clayton favourite (he is ineligible)

johnny told me last week that he was having a look at the new recruits but a market would be available from this week.

poor effort, but thats what we expect.

Obviously the weeks are longer in Johnny land than for everyone else. 2 weeks on, round 5 and still no Magarey market.

no wonder he is called JOKEton

John Thornton may never be seen in a betting stand again
The veteran bookie is about to get married in Thailand to a native feMALe
Word is he may stay there indefinitely
He has been missing in action for a while now.

'the mail order bride' has been in australia for years, i dont think we will allow him to go, how are we supposed to make easy money throughout the year ?

[Squawk]

He may set up an offshore business on line - KERCHING for you guys if you're lucky!

A few of his staff are involved in the MAiL order brides as well

SQUAWQK - bookies would write 1 mag medal bet to every 200 brownlow
medal bets;why spend time on mag medal market when they dont write
a bet - what would you do ???
They have to put in the same time,effort,risk etc for no return.
Get in the real world...............

And when JOKETON does put up the Medal market no doubt Mr Jeremy Clayton
will be one of the favorites

so astute punters like BAYMAN can back the winner half way through the year at 40-1 when the winner is in front in voting.............

Fred - give my regards to Bam Bam mate, I'm a big fan!

On the topic, that's a fair call but given that he has an SANFL market running, this is surely a reasonable request? If as you suggest the Magarey is bet on 0.5% of the time the Brownlow is, then he is hardly going to lose much money on this market? He could even write out odds for category brackets - 5/1 group, 10/1 group etc. What it really demonstrates is that he probably does no homework for any markets - just pimps the markets of the bigger players (TAB, Centrebet, Sportsbet etc). It would also suggest that he doesn't know how to frame his market for the SANFL when he has no one to copy/pimp odds from which is why (his odds!) seem so popular in the eyes of the users of the Gambling Room!

I'm not a "big spender" - ($115 for example is not my cup of tea other than on the Melbourne Cup but there are a lot of posts on here about bets at that level), so my $10 bet (or 50 baht ) is hardly likely to send Johnny broke. I like to have a bet to add a bit of interest to the match ups of whatever I'm betting on, that's all.
