[another grub]

Got this just then...... TAB still betting with no deductiions!!!!!!!!

CHAAARRRGGEEE!!!!! Hacket may not swim!!!!!

GRANT Hackett's coach, Ian Pope, has sent out text messages to close friends and associates saying the swimmer is unwell, Beijing Now has learned.

The news comes after unconfirmed reports swept through Beijing's Water Cube that Hackett was sick just hours before his 1500m heat.

Hackett's health is the talk of the Australian swimming camp as he embarks on his quest to become the first male swimmer to win three consecutive Olympic golds in the 1500m.

Officials have publicly played down the talk, but a swimming insider has informed the media in Beijing that Hackett is suffering from a mystery ailment.

Hackett has drifted in betting for his pet event from $1.50 to $1.85 after his disappointing sixth in the 400m last Sunday.

Hackett is WAP. Every time he competes at one of these elite events he is suffering from something, asthma, collapsed lung, flu or whatever. He is full of sh1t.

[another grub]

I dont back $1.40 pops with half a heart!

[G]

Well done Grub and it seems this financial year things are turning and coming up trumps.
ps. I didnt ever declare Hackett, all I suggested was he swam a top heat and didnt look crook and the same in the final where the better swimmer saluted.

Also I checked your posts and no mention of the winner in your best 4 or 5 hopes.

HMMMMMM!!!

I actually backed 8 runners (swimmers) RK (3 didnt even make the final inluding Vanderkaay). I only pointed out a few quickly that were over the odds compared to sportsbet who had a more correct market framed.

Sorry for pointing out and sharing Value and backing a winner next time I will just shut up and let you all take $1.40 Hackett.

[ryles-kennels]

NOW NOW calm down i was just trying to find where you mentioned to BACK HIM.
And no i wouldnt back Hackett at $1.40 it wasnt good enough odds for me so i didnt have a bet at all.

After backing 8 swimmers did you end up in front or behind on the event??

If he backed a $21 winner, its not hard to work out? or have I missed something?

All depends how much you put on each entrant of course...

By the way, I saw the Tunisian was listed at $61 after the heats!
